I'm creating a page that once the user enter, there will be a textfield which allow user to add point, is there anyway I can always allow my keyboard appear without user clicking textfield only appear?
Below images is after I click the textfield it only appear keyboard.
To give focus to a text field as soon as it’s visible, use the autofocus property.
TextField(
autofocus: true,
);
So whenever the widget appears on screen, if theres nothing else with the keyboard focus, the focus will automatically be directed to it, thus opening the keyboard.

I have a problem with the keyboard in this case. When I ask to focus on the TextButton, the keyboard is disappearing.
Is there a way to completely close the keyboard without losing textfield focus? I'm using textfield to capture the result provided by a physical barcode reader built into the smartphone, it's in the return value, but I want to hide the keyboard. I tried many methods, but I couldn't find a good solution.
Your final solution was the following code. However, since there is no state management in the application, the keyboard opens and closes quickly every time the page is refreshed.
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
SystemChannels.textInput.invokeMethod("TextInput.hide");
return Scaffold(..
To hide the keyboard and keep the cursor visible, set readOnly to true and show the cursor to true
TextFormField(
showCursor: true,
readOnly: true),
See flutter/issues/#16863
You can set keyboardType: parameter to TextInputType.none. This will retain focus. Keep access as the TextField is still editable but no keyboard is shown.
I'm building a calculator and for that I want a text field in flutter which will just give me a space where I can type but using the on screen button I have created. I don't want the keyboard to pop up I just want the cursor so that the user can edit the given text anyway possible
How to do that ?
to hide keyboard and keep the cursor visible, set readOnly to true and showCursor to true
here how :-
TextFormField(
showCursor: true,
readOnly: true),
You do not need to create a TextField, just use text and update the string of the text on each tap of the button. You can do that using StatefulWidget, it's simple. I did that.
How can I implement default android Messages like a custom widget in place of the keyboard shown in the GIF?
When you tap on + button, what happens is,
Keyboard Closed, to achieve this you can use FocusNode instance and assign in TextField, to unfocus or to close keyboard, you can achieve it by focusNode.unfocus().
The content you see on tap of + is outside keyboard, i.e. you have to create widget and change it's visibility accordingly, Visibility can be used.
In other case misc options is visible and user tap on keyboard icon then change visibility of extra options and obtain focus of FocusNode instance(enable keyboard), by focusNode.requestFocus().
I have a form with multiple text fields and dropdowns. When I switch the focus between different textfields, the focus changes as expected.
But when a textfield has focus and right after I tap on a dropdown, the soft keyboard is dismissed and the focus is back in the textfield. The dropdown does not open on first tap. Only when I tap the dropdown again the textfield looses focus and the dropdown opens.
When the focus was not in the textfield before, tapping once on the dropdown opens it as expected.
Is there a way the make the dropdown open on first tap?
