How to Move focus between Entry fields in .NET MAUI

Question

How can I move the focus back to the previous Entry in .NET MAUI when the current Entry is empty instead of moving forward?

my cursor only goes forward, but I would like it to go back when I delete the entry text.

Hello,

but I would like it to go back when I delete the entry text."Handling Entry TextChanged event in .NET MAUI

You can do it by implementing textchanged event and Focus method.

When this previous Entry's text is empty, you can back to the previous entry by Focus method.

 private void SecondEntry_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        var entry = sender as Entry;

        if (entry.Text.Length == 0)
        {
            entry1.Focus();

        }
    }
