Keyboard Types & IME Actions

Show the right keyboard and submit button.

The Right Keyboard Matters

Asking for a phone number? Show a number pad, not letters. The right keyboard makes typing fast and error-free. 📱

You shape the keyboard through keyboardOptions. It lets you pick the key layout and the action button shown on it.

TextField(
    value = phone,
    onValueChange = { phone = it },
    keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(/* ... */)
)
