Creates an iOS-style text field.

To provide a prefilled text entry, pass in a TextEditingController with an initial value to the controller parameter.

To provide a hint placeholder text that appears when the text entry is empty, pass a String to the placeholder parameter.

The maxLines property can be set to null to remove the restriction on the number of lines. In this mode, the intrinsic height of the widget will grow as the number of lines of text grows. By default, it is 1, meaning this is a single-line text field and will scroll horizontally when it overflows. maxLines must not be zero.

The text cursor is not shown if showCursor is false or if showCursor is null (the default) and readOnly is true.

If specified, the maxLength property must be greater than zero.

The selectionHeightStyle and selectionWidthStyle properties allow changing the shape of the selection highlighting. These properties default to ui.BoxHeightStyle.tight and ui.BoxWidthStyle.tight respectively and must not be null.

The autocorrect, autofocus, clearButtonMode, dragStartBehavior, expands, obscureText, prefixMode, readOnly, scrollPadding, suffixMode, textAlign, selectionHeightStyle, selectionWidthStyle, enableSuggestions, and enableIMEPersonalizedLearning properties must not be null.

Troubleshooting Common Accessibility Issues

Customizing User Input Accessibility Announcements

To customize user input accessibility announcements triggered by text changes, use SemanticsService.announce to make the desired accessibility announcement.

On iOS, the on-screen keyboard may announce the most recent input incorrectly when a TextInputFormatter inserts a thousands separator to a currency value text field. The following example demonstrates how to suppress the default accessibility announcements by always announcing the content of the text field as a US currency value (the \$ inserts a dollar sign, the $newText interpolates the newText variable):

onChanged: (String newText) {
  if (newText.isNotEmpty) {
    SemanticsService.announce('\$$newText', Directionality.of(context));
  }
}

See also:

  • minLines, which is the minimum number of lines to occupy when the content spans fewer lines.
  • expands, to allow the widget to size itself to its parent's height.
  • maxLength, which discusses the precise meaning of "number of characters" and how it may differ from the intuitive meaning.
