TextField
Material Design filled text field
Text fields allow users to enter text into a UI. They typically appear in forms and dialogs. Filled text fields have more visual emphasis than outlined text fields, making them stand out when surrounded by other content and components.
If you are looking for an outlined version, see OutlinedTextField. For a text field specifically designed for passwords or other secure content, see SecureTextField.
This overload of TextField uses TextFieldState to keep track of its text content and position of the cursor or selection.
A simple single line text field looks like:
Parameters
TextFieldState object that holds the internal editing state of the text field.
the Modifier to be applied to this text field.
controls the enabled state of this text field. When false, this component will not respond to user input, and it will appear visually disabled and disabled to accessibility services.
controls the editable state of the text field. When true, the text field cannot be modified. However, a user can focus it and copy text from it. Read-only text fields are usually used to display pre-filled forms that a user cannot edit.
the style to be applied to the input text. Defaults to LocalTextStyle.
the position of the label. See TextFieldLabelPosition.
the optional label to be displayed with this text field. The default text style uses Typography.bodySmall when minimized and Typography.bodyLarge when expanded.
the optional placeholder to be displayed when the input text is empty. The default text style uses Typography.bodyLarge.
the optional leading icon to be displayed at the beginning of the text field container.
the optional trailing icon to be displayed at the end of the text field container.
the optional prefix to be displayed before the input text in the text field.
the optional suffix to be displayed after the input text in the text field.
the optional supporting text to be displayed below the text field.
indicates if the text field's current value is in error. When true, the components of the text field will be displayed in an error color, and an error will be announced to accessibility services.
optional InputTransformation that will be used to transform changes to the TextFieldState made by the user. The transformation will be applied to changes made by hardware and software keyboard events, pasting or dropping text, accessibility services, and tests. The transformation will not be applied when changing the state programmatically, or when the transformation is changed. If the transformation is changed on an existing text field, it will be applied to the next user edit. The transformation will not immediately affect the current state.
optional OutputTransformation that transforms how the contents of the text field are presented.
software keyboard options that contains configuration such as KeyboardType and ImeAction.
called when the user presses the action button in the input method editor (IME), or by pressing the enter key on a hardware keyboard. By default this parameter is null, and would execute the default behavior for a received IME Action e.g., ImeAction.Done would close the keyboard, ImeAction.Next would switch the focus to the next focusable item on the screen.
whether the text field should be SingleLine, scroll horizontally, and ignore newlines; or MultiLine and grow and scroll vertically. If SingleLine is passed, all newline characters ('\n') within the text will be replaced with regular whitespace (' ').
Callback that is executed when the text layout becomes queryable. The callback receives a function that returns a TextLayoutResult if the layout can be calculated, or null if it cannot. The function reads the layout result from a snapshot state object, and will invalidate its caller when the layout result changes. A TextLayoutResult object contains paragraph information, size of the text, baselines and other details. Density scope is the one that was used while creating the given text layout.
scroll state that manages either horizontal or vertical scroll of the text field. If lineLimits is SingleLine, this text field is treated as single line with horizontal scroll behavior. Otherwise, the text field becomes vertically scrollable.
defines the shape of this text field's container.
TextFieldColors that will be used to resolve the colors used for this text field in different states. See TextFieldDefaults.colors.
the padding applied to the inner text field that separates it from the surrounding elements of the text field. Note that the padding values may not be respected if they are incompatible with the text field's size constraints or layout. See TextFieldDefaults.contentPaddingWithLabel and TextFieldDefaults.contentPaddingWithoutLabel.
an optional hoisted MutableInteractionSource for observing and emitting Interactions for this text field. You can use this to change the text field's appearance or preview the text field in different states. Note that if null is provided, interactions will still happen internally.

If you are looking for an outlined version, see OutlinedTextField.
If apart from input text change you also want to observe the cursor location, selection range, or IME composition use the TextField overload with the TextFieldValue parameter instead.
Parameters
the input text to be shown in the text field
the callback that is triggered when the input service updates the text. An updated text comes as a parameter of the callback
the Modifier to be applied to this text field
controls the enabled state of this text field. When false, this component will not respond to user input, and it will appear visually disabled and disabled to accessibility services.
controls the editable state of the text field. When true, the text field cannot be modified. However, a user can focus it and copy text from it. Read-only text fields are usually used to display pre-filled forms that a user cannot edit.
the style to be applied to the input text. Defaults to LocalTextStyle.
the optional label to be displayed with this text field. The default text style uses Typography.bodySmall when minimized and Typography.bodyLarge when expanded.
the optional placeholder to be displayed when the text field is in focus and the input text is empty. The default text style for internal Text is Typography.bodyLarge
the optional leading icon to be displayed at the beginning of the text field container
the optional trailing icon to be displayed at the end of the text field container
the optional prefix to be displayed before the input text in the text field
the optional suffix to be displayed after the input text in the text field
the optional supporting text to be displayed below the text field
indicates if the text field's current value is in error. If set to true, the label, bottom indicator and trailing icon by default will be displayed in error color
transforms the visual representation of the input value For example, you can use PasswordVisualTransformation to create a password text field. By default, no visual transformation is applied.
software keyboard options that contains configuration such as KeyboardType and ImeAction.
when the input service emits an IME action, the corresponding callback is called. Note that this IME action may be different from what you specified in KeyboardOptions.imeAction.
when true, this text field becomes a single horizontally scrolling text field instead of wrapping onto multiple lines. The keyboard will be informed to not show the return key as the ImeAction. Note that maxLines parameter will be ignored as the maxLines attribute will be automatically set to 1.
the maximum height in terms of maximum number of visible lines. It is required that 1 <= minLines<= maxLines. This parameter is ignored when singleLine is true.
the minimum height in terms of minimum number of visible lines. It is required that 1 <= minLines<= maxLines. This parameter is ignored when singleLine is true.
