How to remove indicator line of TextField in Androidx Compose Material?

Starting with 1.2.0-alpha04 you can use the TextFieldDecorationBox together with BasicTextField to build a custom text field based on Material Design text fields.

In your case you can apply the indicatorLine modifier to define the focusedIndicatorLineThickness and the unfocusedIndicatorLineThickness parameters:

var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
val singleLine = true
val enabled = true
val interactionSource = remember { MutableInteractionSource() }
BasicTextField(
    value = text,
    onValueChange = { text = it },
    modifier = Modifier
        .indicatorLine(enabled, false,
            interactionSource,
            TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors(),
            focusedIndicatorLineThickness = 0.dp,
            unfocusedIndicatorLineThickness = 0.dp
        )
        .background(
            TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors().backgroundColor(enabled).value,
            TextFieldDefaults.TextFieldShape
        )
        .width(TextFieldDefaults.MinWidth),
    singleLine = singleLine,
    interactionSource = interactionSource
) { innerTextField ->
    TextFieldDecorationBox(
        value = text,
        innerTextField = innerTextField,
        enabled = enabled,
        singleLine = singleLine,
        visualTransformation = VisualTransformation.None,
        interactionSource = interactionSource,
        label = { Text("Label") }
    )
}

Otherwise you can use TextField defining these attributes:

  • focusedIndicatorColor
  • unfocusedIndicatorColor
  • disabledIndicatorColor

Something like:

    TextField(
        ....
        colors = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors(
            backgroundColor = .....,
            focusedIndicatorColor =  Transparent,
            unfocusedIndicatorColor = Transparent)
    )

This has been changed in the recent Jetpack Compose UI Beta release 1.0.0-beta01 now you can pass the

TextFieldDefaults with desired colors.

 colors = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors(
            focusedIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            disabledIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            unfocusedIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            backgroundColor = Color.LightGray,
        )

example

TextField(
        value = searchText,
        onValueChange = { Log.d(HOME_COMPONENT, it) },
        label = { Text(text = "Search") },
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(10.dp),
        leadingIcon = {
            Image(
                painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.ic_search),
                contentDescription = "search"
            )
        },
        colors = TextFieldDefaults.textFieldColors(
            focusedIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            disabledIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            unfocusedIndicatorColor = Color.Transparent,
            backgroundColor = Color.LightGray,
        )
    )

or if you want to customize the component according to your UI/UX then use the BasicTextField

@Composable
fun ToolbarComponent() {
    var searchText by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
    Row(
        modifier = Modifier
            .padding(16.dp)
            .fillMaxWidth(), verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically
    ) {

        Icon(
            painter = painterResource(id = R.drawable.ic_search),
            contentDescription = "search",
            modifier = Modifier.size(20.dp),
            tint = iconTintColor
        )

        Spacer(modifier = Modifier.size(16.dp))

        BasicTextField(
            value = searchText,
            onValueChange = { searchText = it },
            modifier = Modifier
                .background(shape = RoundedCornerShape(10.dp), color = Color.LightGray)
                .fillMaxWidth()
                .padding(16.dp),
            decorationBox = {
                Text(text = "Search")
            }
        )
    }
}
