IssueTracker

Hi, thanks for reporting, we'll have a look. If you could provide us with a minimum sample app to reproduce the issue, that'd be very helpful.

I confirm I managed to reproduce with API 23 emulator and the following patch on the sample app. Will investigate further.

Patch below.

commit 47ac9fee0e3d43b4da33f53b8a2ff590f0d46079

    Addressed issues with EditText causing scroll
   
    EditText methods: bringPointIntoView, and handleFocusGainInternal
    trigger requestChildRectangleOnScreen in ViewPager2's internal
    RecyclerView.
   
    This can cause:
    - unwanted scrolling -- e.g. when typing on some API versions
    - a jump to page 0 -- EditText sometimes reports over -1M px mScrollX
   
    This fix bypasses requestChildRectangleOnScreen calculations taking
    advantage of the fact that PagerSnapHelper constraints valid scroll
    values to a snapped position ones, and as a result, the problem is
    reduced to choosing the correct currentItem.

    Speculative fix for IAE on NVIDIA Shield tablets.
   
    We can't reproduce this on other devices, but Shield Tablets on
    API 24 can return an IllegalArgumentException for some reason.
    Since this isn't something that is fatal to WorkManager, we
    will catch the exception and move on safely.

    Test: Ran existing tests.
