updateEditingValue method
Requests that this client update its editing state to the given value.
The new value
is treated as user input and thus may subject to input
formatting.
Implementation
@override
void updateEditingValue(TextEditingValue value) {
// This method handles text editing state updates from the platform text
// input plugin. The [EditableText] may not have the focus or an open input
// connection, as autofill can update a disconnected [EditableText].
// Since we still have to support keyboard select, this is the best place
// to disable text updating.
if (!_shouldCreateInputConnection) {
return;
}
if (widget.readOnly) {
// In the read-only case, we only care about selection changes, and reject
// everything else.
value = _value.copyWith(selection: value.selection);
}
_lastKnownRemoteTextEditingValue = value;
if (value == _value) {
// This is possible, for example, when the numeric keyboard is input,
// the engine will notify twice for the same value.
// Track at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/65811
return;
}
if (value.text == _value.text && value.composing == _value.composing) {
// `selection` is the only change.
_handleSelectionChanged(value.selection, SelectionChangedCause.keyboard);
} else {
hideToolbar();
_currentPromptRectRange = null;
if (_hasInputConnection) {
if (widget.obscureText && value.text.length == _value.text.length + 1) {
_obscureShowCharTicksPending = _kObscureShowLatestCharCursorTicks;
_obscureLatestCharIndex = _value.selection.baseOffset;
}
}
_formatAndSetValue(value, SelectionChangedCause.keyboard);
}
// Wherever the value is changed by the user, schedule a showCaretOnScreen
// to make sure the user can see the changes they just made. Programmatical
// changes to `textEditingValue` do not trigger the behavior even if the
// text field is focused.
_scheduleShowCaretOnScreen();
if (_hasInputConnection) {
// To keep the cursor from blinking while typing, we want to restart the
// cursor timer every time a new character is typed.
_stopCursorTimer(resetCharTicks: false);
_startCursorTimer();
