TextField has way too much padding by default for the screen I'm building, so I'm forced to use BasicTextField (see: this post on default TextField padding)
The problem is, BasicTextField doesn't take in a trailingIcon parameter. Is there a way to get around this?
Starting with 1.2.0 you can use the TextFieldDecorationBox with the BasicTextField. Here you can use the trailingIcon and contentPadding attributes:
BasicTextField(
value = value,
onValueChange = onValueChange,
interactionSource = interactionSource,
enabled = enabled,
singleLine = singleLine
) {
TextFieldDefaults.TextFieldDecorationBox(
value = value,
innerTextField = it,
singleLine = singleLine,
enabled = enabled,
visualTransformation = VisualTransformation.None,
trailingIcon = { /* ... */ },
interactionSource = interactionSource,
contentPadding = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldWithoutLabelPadding(
//...top = 0.dp, bottom = 0.dp
)
)
}
