On Android 8 the search bar on SearchScreen and BlacklistScreen would
reopen by itself and never stay closed — after pressing back, after
submitting a query via the keyboard, and after returning from an app's
details page.
Root cause: the screens wrapped Material3's InputField in a custom focus
workaround (a shared FocusRequester + interactionSource re-requesting
focus), which fought the library. More fundamentally, the Material3
InputField expands the search bar whenever it regains focus, and on
Android 8 focus is restored to the collapsed field in many situations
(dismissing the focusable search popup/dialog, navigating back from
details), so it kept re-expanding.
Fix:
- Drop the redundant manual focus workaround and let the library manage
focus/expansion, matching the official Material3 sample. SearchScreen
keeps its open-on-entry behavior via
rememberSearchBarState(initialValue = Expanded).
- Gate the input field's focusability on the expanded state
(focusProperties { canFocus = targetValue == Expanded }). While
collapsed the field can't take focus, so nothing can auto-expand it;
tapping still expands via Material3's click detection and the expanded
popup/dialog focuses its own field for typing.
Verified on an Android 8 emulator for both screens: entry, keyboard
search, suggestion tap, details round-trip, re-tap, and back all behave.
