Text in TextField isn't update after typing new character

Time:10-21

I am a newbie with Android Jetpack Compose, I followed enter image description here

But below line of code works properly:

HelloContent(name = temp, onNameChange = { temp = it})//Work

Below is the code which I use to implement:

@Composable
fun HelloScreen() {
    var city by rememberSaveable(stateSaver = CitySaver) {
        mutableStateOf(City("Hanoi","VietNam"))
    }
    var temp by rememberSaveable {
        mutableStateOf("")
    }
    Column {
        HelloContent(name = city.name, onNameChange = { city.name = it})//Doesn't work
        HelloContent(name = temp, onNameChange = { temp = it})//Work
    }
}
@Composable
    fun HelloContent(name: String, onNameChange: (String) -> Unit) {
        Column(modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp)) {
            Text(
                text = "Hello, $name",
                modifier = Modifier.padding(bottom = 8.dp),
                style = MaterialTheme.typography.h5
            )
            OutlinedTextField(
                value = name,
                onValueChange = onNameChange,
                label = { Text("Name") }
            )
        }
    }
data class City(var name: String, val country: String)
val CitySaver = run {
    val nameKey = "Name"
    val countryKey = "Country"
    mapSaver(save = {mapOf(nameKey to it.name,countryKey to it.country)},
        restore = {City(it[nameKey] as String,it[countryKey] as String)})
}

Could you help me to fix the first code block to work?

HelloContent(name = city.name, onNameChange = { city.name = it})//Doesn't work

CodePudding user response:

The TextField will not be updated because you are only modifying city.name not the actual mutableState City object so there is nothing that tells the composer to trigger an update (re-composition).

So modify your first HelloContent composable like this.

 HelloContent(name = city.name, onNameChange = { city = city.copy(name = it)})

changing this line

onNameChange = { city.name = it}

to this

onNameChange = { city = city.copy(name = it)}

will make sure your TextField gets updated(re-composed).

Keep in mind, invoking .copy() on data classes guarantees a new instance will be created (provided that you supplied a new value to one of its properties/fields), which is needed by Compose to trigger re-composition.
