Entry Completed Event Triggered Twice

[SethupathyD]

Description

When setting ReturnType="Search" in an Entry on Android, the return key type does not update properly. To work around this, I used EntryHandler.Mapper.AppendToMapping to ensure UpdateReturnType(view) is called when the view is attached to the window. However, this causes the Completed event to fire twice—once for the actual return key press and once due to the view being updated dynamically.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the app on an Android device or emulator.
2. Tap on the Entry, type something, and press the return key.

Expected Behavior
The return key should immediately display as "Search" when the ReturnType is set.
The Completed event should fire only once when the return key is pressed.

Actual Behavior
The return key does not initially show "Search" unless modified using EntryHandler.Mapper.
The Completed event fires twice when pressing the return key.

This issue has been verified using Visual Studio 17.14 Preview 1(9.0.40 & 8.0.100 & 8.0.83 & 8.0.3). Can repro this issue on Android platform.

Please try with the latest .NET 9 version, at the time of writing 9.0.40 and see how that changes the behavior and if that solves your problem. Thanks!

Hi @jfversluis ,

I have verified that with the latest version (9.0.40) on the Android platform. Setting ReturnType="Search" works without appendToMapping, but the issue still persists—the Completed event is triggered twice when performing a search on Android.

@Ying-6 @SethupathyD does this also happen on other platforms like Windows or iOS or only on Android?

@jfversluis This issue does not repro on iOS and Windows platforms on 9.0.40.
