I have a form with multiple TextFormField. I would like for the user to be able to move to the next field using tab or go back using Shift+Tab. The page looks as follows:
When I focus on Contract Number field and press tab, instead of going to composition field it goes to Invoices written in the Side Navigation which is created using NavigationRail. And on pressing tab again it moves to Payments. And on third tab it moves to Composition Text Field.
Is there a way I can fix the order in which this happens?
You can create a traversal group. For example if you have 10 elements in a column you can wrap the column and add a policy
FocusTraversalGroup(
policy: OrderedTraversalPolicy()
child: Column(),
)

As above, I want to create a list of options with switches that can be rolled up or rolled out when user click something (I thought about Row with text "Options" and button on the right side that can be used to this feature). Do we have a widget in Flutter that can do something similar?
I have a continuous form which displays an overview/summary of my data. A user can select a row and click a button I created in the footer to open another form which has all the detail for that particular record and be able to edit it. This works fine. However I would also like for certain fields to be editable from the continuous form. I enabled two fields I would like users to edit directly (One is a combo box selection and the other a text box) When users click the combo box for any record it works fine and they can go back to the same record and select another value if they wish. All great but the text box behaves rather differently - The text box will allow the user to initially enter a value but after entry the box appears disabled and the only way to change the initial data entry is to go into the detail form which still works. Why can't users change the text box from the continuous form after an initial entry?
I found the issue!
There was a conditional filter on that particular field
I have some data input fields inside a sap.m.table. Wanted to use Tab key to navigate to the input fields but it doesn't work.
It seems the SAP application interface hasn't implemented this feature.
I tried with some custom function and not working.
Any solution or alternative for this feature?
SAP itself now come up with the solution. Navigation with the TAB key is available form SAPUI5 version 1.44.
SAP NOTE 2387996 - SAPUI5 unable to use Tab to move to next field.
We have to press F2 key to activate this.
It's no longer necessary to use a custom solution for this. As of SAPUI5 version 1.38.0 sap.m.table has a property called 'keyboardMode' that can be set to 'Edit' which will change the tab behaviour to navigate focus through all editable fields in the table.
This mode is suitable if the number of items is limited and if there
are editable fields within the item.
While the last/first interactive element within an item has the focus,
pressing tab/shift+tab moves the focus to the next/previous element in
the tab chain after/before the item .

Attach browser event
new sap.m.Input({
value:"{first}"
}).attachBrowserEvent("keydown",function(oEvent){
if(oEvent.key == 'Tab'){
alert(this);//this reference to input control
//Your logic here
}
})

When using an iPhone to fill out a form, I hit the Next button on top of the keyboard to navigate from one field to the next. Non-text fields such as lookup and radio are skipped right over to the next text field. A dropdown field however, can be accessed with Next/Previous. How to prevent this from happening?
Any suggestions?
can I somehow set in what order the text fields become active after pressing the "Tab" button?
I think it depends on when you added the field and not where it is in the form. So can I change this or I should add the fields in the order I want to switch them with the "Tab" button?
Thanks!
There are at least a couple of ways to change tab order.
With the form in design view, right click on an area of the form without a control. On the context menu that appears, click on Tab Order. A dialog will open that will allow you to change the tab order.
Another method is via the property sheet for each control. On the Other tab there is a property for Tab Order. Just set it to whatever you like.
