In the following example the TextInput’s Background changes when focused. However when I tap the down arrow (left button on the bottom menu) on the Android keyboard and the keyboard discards, the TextInput stays in focus. How can I lose focus of the TextInput when discarding the keyboard?

```
<App>
  <TextInput ux:Name="TextInput" Width="100%" Height="50" Background="#0000ff">
    <WhileFocused>
      <Set TextInput.Background="#ff0000" />
    </WhileFocused>
    <WhileNotFocused>
      <Set TextInput.Background="#0000ff" />
    </WhileNotFocused>
  </TextInput>
</App>
```

Use [ReleaseFocus](https://docs.fusetools.com/fuse/triggers/actions/releasefocus.html).

Thanks for the suggestion! However TextInputActionTriggered doesn’t fire when the keyboard is discarded by pressing the bottom left button. It only fires when the TextInput is submitted (pressing “next”).

Well there’s always [WhileKeyboardVisible](https://docs.fusetools.com/fuse/triggers/whilekeyboardvisible.html), which conveniently comes with an `Invert` property too, just like the other `While*`-triggers.
