SfTextInputLayout Trailing view obstructs taps on the associated input view

[Andrew Hoke]

I am using SfTextInputLayout to give meaning to input views using the leading/trailing view, such as a currency symbol or calendar icon. The leading/trailing view obstructs user taps on the input view, creating a confusing user experience. How can I focus the input view when the leading/trailing view is tapped?

Hi Andrew Hoke,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

The input control focus is not required, if the leading / trailing view location is set to the outside.

If the leading / trailing view position is set to inside and the view is pressed, the SfTextInputLayout InputView can be focused by setting the leading / trailing view’s InputTransparent to true as per below code snippet

[XAML]: 

<inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout Hint="Birth date"  LeadingViewPosition="Inside" > 

     <Entry /> 

     <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView> 

           <Label Text="&#x1F5D3;"  InputTransparent="True" /> 

      </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout.LeadingView> 

  </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout> 

Please have a sample from the below link

The above code is working in UWP, iOS platforms, but not in Android. Currently, we are validating this problem at our source level we will update the details on April 22, 2021.

Let us know if you need any further assistance.
