Troubleshooting the Flutter TextField: Resolving the Keyboard Open-Close Issue

When working with Flutter, developers occasionally encounter peculiar issues that halt progress. One common complaint is the unexpected behavior of the keyboard when interacting with TextFields. In particular, users report that the keyboard opens and closes immediately when they attempt to type, preventing any input. This problem can be frustrating, especially if it disrupts the user experience of your application. Let's explore how to diagnose and fix this issue.

Understanding the Problem

In this specific case, a user reported that their keyboard would pop up momentarily and then vanish whenever they focused on a TextField. This was occurring in their application built using Flutter SDK version 1.17, where they utilized various widgets including:

Material

Scaffold

SingleChildScrollView

Despite these attempts, the issue persisted, leaving them puzzled and in need of a solution.

Troubleshooting Steps and Solution

After experimenting with various fixes, the user found a rather unconventional solution that resolved the issue. Here’s a breakdown of the process they undertook

1. Assess the Navigation Bar

One of the most interesting findings was that the problem seemed to be linked to the custom navigation bar they were using. The original app featured a beautifully designed curved navigation bar, which may have interfered with the keyboard functionality. In this case:

Remove the Custom Navigation Bar: The user decided to switch back to the default navigation bar provided by Flutter.

2. Test the Default Setup

By opting for the standard navigation bar, they could effectively diagnose whether the custom design was the culprit. Surprisingly, this simple change resolved the keyboard issue entirely.

3. Consider Other Factors

While the custom navigation bar was the immediate fix, it’s essential to remember that other factors could contribute to similar problems, such as:

Focused Widgets: Ensure that various focused widgets don’t clash when a TextField is activated.

Animations and Overlays: Sometimes, animations or overlays can disrupt the keyboard display, leading to unexpected behavior.

Screen Resolution or Placement: Check if the TextField's position on the screen affects how the keyboard behaves when it is invoked.

Conclusion

If you’re facing the keyboard opening and closing problem when using TextField in your Flutter application, consider examining the navigation bar and other potential conflicts in your layout. In the case discussed, switching from a custom curved navigation bar to the default navigation helped resolve the issue promptly. This is a good reminder that sometimes the source of an issue can be unexpected, and a little experimentation can lead to a successful solution. Happy coding!
