Focus Event

A focus event is triggered when the page focus moves between components. It can be used to process related logic within the component.

NOTE

• The APIs of this module are supported since API version 8. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

• Currently, only the Tab button and arrow buttons on the external keyboard can be used to trigger the focus event. Sequential keyboard navigation is not supported for nested scrollable components.

• Components that have default interaction logic, such as <Button> and <TextInput>, are focusable by default. Other components, such as <Text> and <Image>, are not focusable by default. Only focusable components can trigger a focus event. To enable a component to be focusable, set its focusable attribute to true.

Events

Example

// xxx.ets
@Entry
@Component
struct FocusEventExample {
  @State oneButtonColor: string = '#FFC0CB'
  @State twoButtonColor: string = '#87CEFA'
  @State threeButtonColor: string = '#90EE90'

  build() {
    Column({ space: 20 }) {
      // You can use the up and down arrow keys on an external keyboard to move the focus between the three buttons. When a button gains focus, its color changes. When it loses focus, its color changes back.
      Button('First Button')
        .backgroundColor(this.oneButtonColor)
        .width(260)
        .height(70)
        .fontColor(Color.Black)
        .focusable(true)
        .onFocus(() => {
          this.oneButtonColor = '#FF0000'
        })
        .onBlur(() => {
          this.oneButtonColor = '#FFC0CB'
        })
      Button('Second Button')
        .backgroundColor(this.twoButtonColor)
        .width(260)
        .height(70)
        .fontColor(Color.Black)
        .focusable(true)
        .onFocus(() => {

        .height(70)
        .fontColor(Color.Black)
        .focusable(true)
        .onFocus(() => {

        .onBlur(() => {
