Error with TextField Kotlin Jetpack Compose

Question

With the code provided in Kotlin documentation, I'm getting the following error when implementing a TextField:

val state = rememberTextFieldState("Initial text", TextRange(0, 12))

TextField(
    state = state,
    lineLimits = TextFieldLineLimits.SingleLine,
    label = { Text("Label") },
)

None of the following candidates is applicable:

fun TextField(value: TextFieldValue, onValueChange: (TextFieldValue) -> Unit, modifier: Modifier = ..., enabled: Boolean = ..., readOnly: Boolean = ..., textStyle: TextStyle = ..., label: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., placeholder: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., leadingIcon: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., trailingIcon: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., prefix: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., suffix: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., supportingText: @Composable() (() -> Unit)? = ..., isError: Boolean = ..., visualTransformation: VisualTransformation = ..., keyboardOptions: KeyboardOptions = ..., keyboardActions: KeyboardActions = ..., singleLine: Boolean = ..., maxLines: Int = ..., minLines: Int = ..., interactionSource: MutableInteractionSource? = ..., shape: Shape = ..., colors: TextFieldColors = ...): Unit

What version of the material3 library are you using? You appear to be trying to use a function signature which appears to have been added in 1.4.0-alpha15. — CommonsWare

In the documentation that you linked there is no state or linelimits fields for TextField — tyczj

How do I implement 1.4.0? In build.gradle I have this: implementation(libs.androidx.compose.material3) — mfusco

The TextField that uses a state instead of a value parameter is only available from Material3 version 1.4.0. At the time of writing, however, that is still in alpha (latest stable version is 1.3.2), so you would need to switch to the Alpha BOM of Compose.

Simply replace your dependency

androidx.compose:compose-bom

with this:

androidx.compose:compose-bom-alpha

As of now, the dependency looks like this:implementation(platform(libs.androidx.compose.bom)). Could you provide the entire implementation? When implementing what you have I get an unresolved type and unsolved reference variable errors.

You apparently use a version catalog, so go there (middle-click on libs.androidx.compose.bom) to append -alpha to the artifact name, as shown in the answer.
