Disable auto focus in dialog- modal in Angular 2/ material

Question

I'm using dialog from angular material-2.

The problem is: I can't disable auto focus when modal-dialog is opened in iPhone or tablet especially. In iOS, it automatically focuses the first input field in the dialog!

I tried with tab index and with auto focus in other input-field it doesn't work

I'm using Angular 2 for my code, in my dialog I'm using form-control. I tried to use markasuntouched afterviewInit, but I still have the same problem !!

Answer 1

Since @angular/[email protected] there is special option autoFocus on MatDialogConfig

/** Whether the dialog should focus the first focusable element on open. */ autoFocus?: boolean = true; 

So you can use it as follows:

let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogOverviewExampleDialog, {   width: '250px',   data: { name: this.name, animal: this.animal },   autoFocus: false   <============================== this line });

Answer 2

I used the solution to disable auto focus when open the dialog and also avoid auto focus on the last selected button. I see that it works well for both dialog and bottom sheet control in Angular Material, see the code:

this.dialog.open(YourComponent, {       data: inputData,       width: '100%',        autoFocus: false,        restoreFocus: false     });  this.matBottomSheet.open(FilePickerComponent, {       data: inputData,       autoFocus: false,       restoreFocus: false});
