Android Quick Guides

Just found out the new quick guides from the Android developer’s documentation. This is what I have been looking for, just quick code snippets where I don’t have to open a YouTube tutorial and look for that particular timestamp.

Customizing SwiftUI TextFields

I learned how to simply add a bottom underline inside a TextField leveraging .safeAreaInset.

import SwiftUI

struct UnderlineTextFieldStyle: TextFieldStyle {

    func _body(configuration: TextField<Self._Label>) -> some View {
        configuration
            .padding([.top, .bottom], 13)
            .padding([.leading, .trailing], 19)
            .frame(height: 55)
            .background(Color.clear)
            .tint(Color(.gray))
            .safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom) {
                Rectangle()
                    .frame(height: 1)
            }
    }
}

Fixed Compose insets due to enableEdgeToEdge() feature

Our TextField was partially hidden behind the bottom app bar, based on this documentation), it seems I need to use a combination of systemBarsPadding() and consumeWindowInsets in our modifier and it worked.

Modifier.consumeWindowInsets(values).systemBarsPadding()

Make sure to use Modifier.consumeWindowInsets instead of Modifier.padding(values) or it won’t work.
