What is the specific usage scenario?

If you hide the blue cursor, your cursor will be hidden as well in Entry. Users cannot edit specific character by move the cursor in entry.

You can try to use hanlder to hide it like following code.

   Microsoft.Maui.Handlers.EntryHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping("MyCustomization", (handler, view) =>
        {
#if ANDROID
            handler.PlatformView.FocusChange+=(s,e)=>{
            Android.Widget.EditText edit= s as Android.Widget.EditText;
            edit.FocusableInTouchMode=false;
            edit.SetCursorVisible(false);
            edit.FocusableInTouchMode=true;
            };
#endif
        });

If you want to hide the cursor in editor, please change the EntryHandler to EditorHandler

Hello,

what I want is only to remove the blue rain drop if possible. not the black cursor.

No, blue raindrop cannot be removed. This blue raindrop is an android OS feature. We cannot custom this android OS feature in the application.

Best Regards,

Leon Lu
