Android Compose TextField: How to set exact 3 lines

Question

I want to create TextField with exact 3 lines:

I want to see 3 lines even without any text in this TextField, i.e. I need a direct equivalent of EditText.lines in classic xml layout.

My not working code is:

OutlinedTextField(
            value = currentText,
            onValueChange = { currentText = it },
            label = { Text ("Label") },
            maxLines = 3,
            modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().wrapContentHeight().padding(16.dp),
            singleLine = false
        )

Could you help me?

Answer 1

Starting from Starting from M2 1.4.0-alpha02 and M3 1.1.0-alpha02 you can use the minLines attribute in the TextField and OutlinedTextField:

OutlinedTextField(
    value = text,
    onValueChange = { text = it },
    label = { Text ("Label") },
    minLines = 3,
    maxLines = 3,
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth().wrapContentHeight().padding(16.dp)
)

It can be used with M2 and M3.
