The Flutter TextEditingController
does not clear the text in a TextFormField
that is set to readOnly
because readOnly
means that the text field is not editable by the user, but it can still be modified programmatically.
In other words, setting a TextFormField
to readOnly
does not prevent the TextEditingController
from modifying its text. Therefore, clearing the TextEditingController
's text in a readOnly
field would contradict this behavior.
If you want to clear the text in a readOnly
field, you can use the TextEditingController
to set its text to an empty string. However, you should also change the field's readOnly
property to false
before clearing the text, and revert it back to true
afterward. This ensures consistency between the field's readOnly
property and its current state.
