I need to show Next button in Keyboard in React Native application when there are multiple TextInput fields are there.
Could anyone suggest, I have tried with returnKeyType = {"next"} , blurOnSubmit and onSubmitEditing props but no use.
Could anyone you please provided the solution for this?
Thanks in Advance.
Try the same without {}. returnKeyType = "next". This worked for me.
You can try onSubmitEditing as described in the docs. This method will be called when you click done on the keyboard. In the listner, use focus method to focus the required textInput.
render(){
return(
...
<TextInput
ref={(input) => this._username = input}
onSubmitEditing={() => this._email.focus()}
value={this.state.text}
blurOnSubmit={false} // prevent keyboard flickering
/>
<TextInput
ref={(input) => this._email = input}
onSubmitEditing={() => this._password.focus()} // or submit the form or focus next input and goes on
value={this.state.text}
blurOnSubmit={false}
/>
)
}

The question is simple, <TextInput /> inside <Animated.View /> is being trigered on every onChangeText event. I want it to exit the animation only if Submit button is pressed. Code is below:
const InputBox = () => { return(
<Animated.View style={styles.inputContainer}
entering={SlideInRight}
exiting={
SlideOutRight
}
>
<TextInput
style={styles.textInput}
onChangeText = {(text) => setTypedText(text)}
/>
<Pressable
onPress={onSubmit}>
<Text>Submit</Text>
</Pressable>
</Animated.View>
)
Any ideas?
Edit: I realized that, when I directly use this <Animated.View/> inside render seems not any problem, but when I create the component dynamically with const InputBox=()=>{} the problem occurs. So the question is why? And how can I use this component which is created by using const InputBox=()=>....
I am getting the text of the TextInput using onChangeText event and state.
<View style={styles.inputContainerStyle}>
<TextInput
autoFoucs={true}
ref={inputRef}
style={styles.textInputStyle}
placeholder="type here ..."
placeholderTextColor='#838389'
multiline
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
onChangeText={text => handleTextChange(text)}
value={selectedText}
/>
<TouchableOpacity style={styles.submitBtnWrapperStyle} onPress={() => handleMsgSend()}>
<Icon name={msgEditMode ? "check" : "paper-plane"} size={20} color="#ffffff" />
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
...
// handle text change on textinput
const handleTextChange = text => {
channel && channel.typing();
setSelectedText(text);
}
But actually whenever text is changed, the render function also is called because of changing state value and it is making the whole screen more slow.
So I am looking for the alternative way to get the text not using onChangeText event.
Is there any native way to get the text using ref?
I hope kind help.
thanks...
Yes, you can access the value of text input using ref like this
this.inputRef._lastNativeText
I am developing an app on react native. I want to call a date picker when i press on a Text-Input and after selecting a date it should show on the Text-Input
Wrap TextInput into a view and set pointerEvents as none.
Now you can use Pressable component from react-native to listen to the onpress event.
<Pressable onPress={() => alert('Hi!')}>
<View pointerEvents="none">
<TextInput />
</View>
</Pressable>
You cannot explicitly call onPress for TextInput. You could only use. onFocus which will be called when you press the input box to get cursor over there. No need to focus on onBlur as your use case doesn't required.. Handle close within onFocus if possible.
onFocus = () => {
// do something
}
render() {
<TextInput onFocus={onFocus} />
}
What you have to do is use onFocus and onBlur of TextInput.
<TextInput
onFocus={this.onFocus}
onBlur={this.onBlur}
/>
onFocus = () => {
// Open date picker
}
onBlur = () => {
// Close date picker and add value to textinput
}
You can make text input field read only by providing
editable={false}
pointerEvents="none"
prop to TextInput.
Wrap TextInput inside View and set pointerEvents="none", wrap that view with TouchableOpacity or any other Touchable Component. Please see below example!
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => {
alert('hello');
}}>
<View pointerEvents="none">
<TextInput
onChange={() => {}}
value={''}
placeholder={waterMark}
editable={!isDisabled}
selectTextOnFocus={!isDisabled}
/>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
Nothing in the docs about this. I want to disable the small popup below when clicking on a TextInput in React Native.
Any ideas ?
<TextInput
contextMenuHidden={true}
value={this.state.text}
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({ text})}
/>
for stop copy paste the following code is
<TextInput contextMenuHidden={true}/>
for ios
<TextInput contextMenuHidden={true}
for Android
<View removeClippedSubviews={true}>
<TextInput contextMenuHidden={true} />
</View>

Below solution works for me. I am clearing keyboard on onTouchEnd event
const [text1, setText1] = useState('')
const clearClipboard = () =>{
Clipboard.setString('')
}
const onChangeText = (text) =>{
//For android 12+ clipboard autofill option, dont allow text change more than one char..which means user is typing.
if(text1.length+1 >= text.length){
setText1(text)
}
}
<TextInput onChangeText={onChangeText} value={text1} contextMenuHidden={true} onTouchEnd={clearClipboard}></TextInput>
I open a Modal where there is a TextInput on top. My TextInput component has the autoFocus set to true. I can say my TextInput is focused about 6 times on 10 (open/close Modal). When it's not focused and if I try to tap (even several times) on TextInput, it doesn't want to focus.
I made another test, I set the autoFocus to false. When I open my Modal then I immediately tap the TextInput to get the focus, sometimes I have to tap twice before I get the focus on. So, it's like something didn't finish its loading before I could tap and get the focus. If I do the same test but I wait maybe 2 seconds before I do a first tap, I always get the focus.
So did you know if there is a conflict between Modal / TextInput / Keyboard?
Here is my code, in case:
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.addressButton}
onPress={() => {
this.props.feedList([]);
this.props.onPressBackButton();
}}
>
<Linearicon name="arrow-left" size={30} color="white" />
</TouchableOpacity>
<View
style={styles.searchBox}
>
<Linearicon style={styles.searchIcon} name="magnifier" size={16} color="#999999" />
<TextInput
style={[styles.searchBoxText, styles.searchBoxTextInput]}
placeholder="Recherchez une adresse..."
autoFocus={false}
placeholderTextColor='#999999'
autoCorrect={false}
onChangeText={(text) => this.onChangeText(text)}
value={this.state.address}
/>
</View>
</View>
)
I also ran into a similar kind of problem. My TextInput has autoFocus in a modal. The TextInput focus worked, but the keyboard sometimes opened and sometimes it did not open. It appears to be a race condition, where autoFocus assigns focus before the modal is visible. The solution was to use onShow attribute in Modal.
<Modal onShow={() => {this.textInput.focus();}} >
<TextInput ref={input => {this.textInput = input;}} />
</Modal>
setting the height for TextInput works.
example
<TextInput style={{textAlign:'center', fontSize:18, height:50,paddingBottom:35}} autoFocus={false} placeholder="Enter Name" placeholderTextColor="grey"/>
I also had the same issue like sometimes it was not get focus while reopen the modal. I agree with the #Saravanan's comment with just one addition by calling blur method before focus to textinput. That worked for me.
<Modal onShow={() => {
this.textInput.blur();
this.textInput.focus();
}}>
<TextInput ref={input => {this.textInput = input;}} />
</Modal>
I had the same issue, autoFocus prop seems kinda buggy when TextInput is inside modal, try this:
export default function Component() {
const inputRef = React.useRef(null);
return (
<Modal isVisible={true} onShow={() => inputRef.current.focus()} >
<TextInput ref={inputRef} />
</Modal>
}
I have the same issue. Whenever TextInput is in a Modal the autofocus is super buggy. Probably a bug. Using RN 0.27.2.
