Android: focusing widgets to be able to navigate using a hardware keyboard is impossible #68471
Description
Steps to Reproduce
Scenario:
Android device navigating with an hardware keyboard, a Scaffold is pushed with Navigator.of(context).pushReplacement after the user confirms with the Enter key in a TextField (in onSubmitted).
The new Scaffold doesn't have the back button in the AppBar but a couples of buttons in the body.
Expected results:
The keyboard focuses on the first button after the push.
Actual results:
The focus of the keyboard is broken and the app can't be navigated with the keyboard.
Example
import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class KeyboardTextFieldPushReplacement extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(),
body: Center(
child: TextField(
onSubmitted: (text) => _pushNewScaffold(context),
),
),
);
}
_pushNewScaffold(BuildContext context) {
Navigator.of(context).pushReplacement(
MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => PushedScaffold(),
),
);
}
}
class PushedScaffold extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
automaticallyImplyLeading: false,
),
body: Column(
children: [
FlatButton(
child: Text('Button1'),
onPressed: () {},
),
FlatButton(
child: Text('Button2'),
onPressed: () {},
),
],
),
);
}
