In the past episodes, you’ve seen how to read the keyboard properties and animate it as well as the surrounding views. Now you’ll see the same functionalities but in Jetpack Compose. Compose is the new Android toolkit for building native UI. You no longer use XML and findViewById calls to access a view.

val keyboardVisible = LocalWindowInsets.current.ime.isVisible
val active = remember { mutableStateOf(keyboardVisible) }

val focusRequester = FocusRequester()

.focusRequester(focusRequester)

DisposableEffect(Unit) {
  focusRequester.requestFocus()
  onDispose { }
}

val keyboardController = LocalSoftwareKeyboardController.current

keyboardController?.hide()
