Issue

LoremIpsum doesn't seem to offer an option, to specify number of words. Sometimes you want to preview how specific composable behaves, when line breaks a single time. LoremIpsum only offers "a truck load" amount of words.

So basically, I would like to be able to preview text with only 20 words, instead of 500 (that's current default word count set in LoremIpsum).

Example

I want to preview how following text breaks, but I don't want it to expand indefinitely.

Yes, I could limit it by height, but sometimes composables are more complicated than that.

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview(@PreviewParameter(LoremIpsum::class) text: String) {
    Text(text)
}

Current workarounds

A. Only take first n characters

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview(@PreviewParameter(LoremIpsum::class) text: String) {
    Text(text.take(100))
}

B. Manually instantiate LoremIpsum

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview() {
    val text = LoremIpsum(20).values.first()
    Text(text)
}

Potential solutions

Maybe short version of LoremIpsum could solve this use case in a simple way? E.g. LoremIpsumShort?

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

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

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.
