React native textinput multiline is not being pushed up by keyboard - react-native

Question

I have a TextInput with multiLine true. However, after two lines the text disappear behind the keyboard. I have tried wrapping the TextInput in KeyboardAvoidingView, but it doesn't work.
The keyboard does push up the TextInput when I unfocus the TextInput and then click on the bottom line. Any idea how I can make the last line of the TextInput stay on top of the keyboard?
The code:
<View style={styles.descriptionFlexStyle}>
<Text
style={[
styles.headerTextStyle,
{ marginTop: Window.height * 0.04 }
]}> Please fill in a reason </Text>
<ScrollView>
<TextInput
style={styles.reasonTextInput}
placeholder="Reason"
value={reasonText}
multiline={true}
onChangeText={input =>
this.setState({
reasonText: input
})
}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
ref="reasonTextInput"
/>
</ScrollView>
</View>

Answer 1

hello my dear you must use KeyboardAvoidingView Component from React-Native and put a behavior on it like below :
<KeyboardAvoidingView behavior={'postion' || 'height' || 'padding'}>
<View style={styles.descriptionFlexStyle}>
<Text
style={[
styles.headerTextStyle,
{ marginTop: Window.height * 0.04 }
]}> Please fill in a reason </Text>
<ScrollView>
<TextInput
style={styles.reasonTextInput}
placeholder="Reason"
value={reasonText}
multiline={true}
onChangeText={input =>
this.setState({
reasonText: input
})
}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
ref="reasonTextInput"
/>
</ScrollView>
</View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>

This answer may be a little too late. However, I have found a workaround without using the KeyboardAvoidingView component. A ScrollView could be used instead to scroll the multiline TextInput to the top to have the 'keyboard avoiding' effect. I would use the ref measure() method to get the top y value of the TextInput, before using the scrollTo() method to scroll the TextInput directly to the top of the screen, effectively avoiding the keyboard.
import React, { useRef } from "react";
import { ScrollView, TextInput, View } from "react-native";
export default function Test() {
const scrollViewRef = useRef(null);
const viewRef = useRef(null);
const handleFocus = () => {
viewRef.current.measure((x, y) => {
scrollViewRef.current.scrollTo({ x: 0, y });
});
};
return (
<ScrollView ref={scrollViewRef}>
{/* View to fill up space */}
<View
style={{
width: "80%",
height: 600,
}}
/>
<View ref={viewRef}>
<TextInput
onFocus={handleFocus}
multiline={true}
style={{
width: "80%",
height: 100,
backgroundColor: "whitesmoke",
alignSelf: "center",
}}
/>
{/* View to fill up space */}
<View
style={{
width: "80%",
height: 600,
}}
/>
</View>
</ScrollView>
);
}

Ok i have finally solved it using "KeyboardAvoidingView". I did two things. First i removed the height on my TextInput and then i set the behavior attribute on the "KeyboardAvoidingView" to "padding". Works perfect for me now. Let me know if this help! :)
