Currently AndroidComposeView reads a system property to determine whether the developer option "Show layout bounds" has been enabled, and if so, every layout node draws its bounds. But we only read that value from the system when the lifecycle hosing the ACV is resumed. When the setting is changed from a quick settings tile, the activity is never paused, so it won't pick up the new setting. Android Views behave as expected: When the quick setting tile is toggled, they immediately start drawing their bounds. Compose should do the same.

There is an API for registering for property changes that we might be able to use: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/+/master:frameworks/base/core/java/android/os/SystemProperties.java;l=244;drc=fcdba12869220502f025217077317251155d152f

Marked as fixed.

I found an example here. One problem is that it only works with the Google autofill service. When using any other service like Microsoft Authenticator or OneKey, the following error is shown:

D/Autofill Status: Autofill popup isn't shown because autofill is not available.
    
    Did you set up autofill?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced > Autofill Service
    2. Pick a service
    
    Did you add an account?
    1. Go to Settings > System > Languages&input > Advanced
    2. Click on the settings icon next to the Autofill Service
    3. Add your account

Is this a bug on your side or do the app developers of these password managers need to change their implementation?

Another problem I am facing with autofill is that it won't save my credentials. I tried forcing to finish the context as described here, but it won't do that either although I filled in the username with the one provided by the Google autofill service.
