Clear button in the entry is not clearing the text

Srilekha Chowdary 60

Hi,

I am using an entry to take user input. I am showing the clear button using the WhileEditing value for ClearButtonVisibility but clicking on the button does not perform any action. It does not clear the text in the entry. Also there is no command exposed for clear. Is there a way to clear the text in entry by clicking the clear button?

<Entry
    Margin="10,0,0,0"
    ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"
    FontSize="14"
    HeightRequest="35"
    HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
    Text="{Binding SearchSiteText}"
    VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>

Affected Platform - Android Version used - .Net 8

I have removed the binding text and used a simple entry but it's still not working

Which platform is not working when running code?

What is your .NET MAUI version?

Could you minimize code to just what is needed to reproduce the problem? You can try to Text="{Binding SearchSiteText}" line, then make a test, is that working?

As Note: please edit this post to add full details.

I am unable to upload a video so I have uploaded a screenshot of the control. I am using a simple entry but the click on the clear button is not working

Can you share this layout xaml completely?

Do you have styles or handlers for Entry? By default, entry do not have the blue border. If yes, please share it.

I have created a simple page with basic entry without any styles or handlers, but the clear button is still not working. Please find the xaml code below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage
    x:Class="Ecolab.Industrial.Mobile.Edata.Edata.Views.Page1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:converters="clr-namespace:Ecolab.Industrial.Mobile.Edata.Edata.Converters"
    xmlns:res="clr-namespace:Ecolab.Industrial.Mobile.Edata.Edata.Resources"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui">
    <StackLayout>
        <Label Text="Entry below" />
        <Entry
            Margin="10,0,0,0"
            ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"
            FontSize="14"
            HeightRequest="35"
            HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"
            VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" />
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

Please create a new MAUI project, is that working? If it is working, this issue just occurs in your project, please share a demo with us.

Please check the code about the styles and entry handler,

Or you can copy your project, delete other pages and Irrelevant content, just keep one page, and share a mini demo with us.
