I'm using a FocusRequester to provide focus to a TextField and open the keyboard when a screen opens using this code:

remember { FocusRequester() }.apply {
    LaunchedEffect(Unit) {
      requestFocus()
    }
}

This works fine, except on API 27 where the keyboard doesn't show. Is this a known issue?

Only on 27? What about 26 or 28?

[eygraber]

As far as I can tell just 27. I'm gonna test again later

Try adding a delay of 300 ms and see if it works

[eygraber]

I'll try that, thanks

[eygraber]

That seems to do the trick, thanks!

Yeah it’s a bit of a hack, but I have something similar in my app. It works around some keyboard issues
