It is currently difficult to draw custom spans for Text() because TextLayoutResult does not expose any APIs for accurately reading line bounds. Considering that AndroidParagraph already has APIs such as getLineAscent(), getLineBaseline() and getLineDescent(), can they be bubbled up to TextLayoutResult?

Having access to getTopPadding() and getBottomPadding() from android.text.Layout would also be helpful.

AFAIK, there is currently no workaround for reading these values. Inspecting font metrics would have been one option, but that is not available either (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/173648606).

We have some support in androidx.compose.ui.autofill

Leaving this bug open in case Ralston wants to add more info

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.
