Can't select Picker - swiftui

Question

I am trying to make a stock control system in SwiftUI where users can add an ingredient and then ad an amount and then select a unit of measurement(kg, g, l ,ml).
The app allows them to click a button which allows them to add an ingredient to a text-box which is created and then their input is added to a list.
I am having trouble allowing the user to also type in a number in a text-box next to the ingredient text-box and making the picker clickable
Here is my code
import SwiftUI
struct UploadView2: View {
#State var ingredients = [String]()
#State var amount = [String]()
#State var choices = ["g", "kg", "ml", "l"]
#State var choosen: String = ""
#EnvironmentObject var viewRouter: ViewRouter
func getBinding(forIndex index: Int) -> Binding<String> {
return Binding<String>(get: { ingredients[index] },
set: { ingredients[index] = $0 })
}
var body: some View {
VStack{
HStack{
Button {
print("Going Back")
viewRouter.currentPage = .UploadView
} label: {
Image(systemName: "arrow.left")
.font(.system(size: 30))
.foregroundColor(.black)
}
.padding(.horizontal)
Spacer()
Text("Add Ingredients")
.font(.system(size: 30))
.fontWeight(.bold)
Spacer()
Button {
print("Saved")
} label: {
Image(systemName: "bookmark")
.font(.system(size: 30))
.foregroundColor(.black)
}
.padding()
}
Form {
ForEach(0..<ingredients.count, id: \.self) { index in
HStack {
Button(action: { ingredients.remove(at: index) }) {
Image(systemName: "minus.circle.fill")
.foregroundColor(.red)
.padding(.horizontal)
}
TextField("Ingredient", text: getBinding(forIndex: index))
Picker("", selection: $choosen){
ForEach(choices, id: \.self) { i in
Text("\(i)").tag(i)
}
}
}
}
Button(action: { ingredients.append("") }) {
HStack {
Image(systemName: "plus")
.foregroundColor(.black)
.padding(.horizontal)
Text("add an ingredient")
.foregroundColor(.black)
}
}
}
Button {
//change view router
//add data to data class
viewRouter.currentPage = .UploadView3
} label: {
Label("next", systemImage: "arrow.right")
}
.padding()
.frame(width: 100)
.foregroundColor(Color.white)
.background(Color.red)
.cornerRadius(8)
}
}
}
struct UploadView2_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
UploadView2()
.previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone 13"))
.previewInterfaceOrientation(.portrait)
UploadView2()
.previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone 8"))
}
}
When i click on my click it removes the text-box like the dismiss button
My overall goal is to have a text-box to enter an ingredient and then a text-box to enter an amount and then a picker to select a unit of measurement.
How can I achieve this using my current code as much as I can?

to be able to "select" your Picker, you could try this approach, as shown in this example code:
struct ContentView: View {
#State var ingredient = ""
#State var amount = ""
#State var choosen = ""
#State var choices = ["g", "kg", "ml", "l"]
var body: some View {
HStack {
TextField("Ingredient", text: $ingredient) // <-- or your getBinding thing
TextField("Amount", text: $amount)
Picker("", selection: $choosen){
ForEach(choices, id: \.self) { i in
Text("\(i)").tag(i)
}
}
.pickerStyle(.inline)
.frame(width: 55)
.clipped() // <-- here
}
}
}
