I have a Modal wrapping a KeyboardAvoidingView wrapping a few animated components. One of them is a TextInput and the other is a Button. When clicking on the button, keyboard is first hidden, and then need to click once again to reach the buttons "onPress"
Looked into the solution of wrapping the components with a scroll view and using a the prop keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'always'} but that doesn't work.
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.paddingInput = new Animated.Value(0);
this.state = {
modalVisible: false,
otherTip: '',
}
}
renderHoveringNote = () => {
const {total, currentTipPercent} = this.props.rootStore.orderStore;
return (
<View>
<KeyboardAvoidingView style={{flex: 1}}>
<Animated.View style={{
marginBottom: this.paddingInput,
flex: 1
}}>
<View>
<Text>Enter custom amount</Text>
</View>
<TextInput
onChangeText={value => {
this.setState({otherTip: value})
}}
autoFocus
value={this.state.otherTip}
/>
<Button title='Save'
onPress={()=>{
...do some stuff here
this.setState({modalVisible: false});
Keyboard.dismiss();
}}
</Animated.View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
</View>
)
};
renderOtherTipModal = () => {
return (
<Modal
isVisible={this.state.modalVisible}
onBackdropPress{()=>this.setState({modalVisible:false})}
style={{margin: 0, flex: 1}}
hideModalContentWhileAnimating={true}
>
{this.renderHoveringNote()}
</Modal>
)
};
One click should reach the onPress of the button
Figured it out - I had a few Scroll Views as parents to the Modal. It is important to have ALL of the parent Scroll Views to have keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'always'}.
After adding that, it worked great.
I am using react-native TextInput component. Here I need to show the InputBox above the keyboard if the user clicks on the textInput field.
I have tried below but i am facing the issues
1. Keyboard avoiding view
a. Here it shows some empty space below the input box
b. Manually I need to scroll up the screen to see the input field which I was given in the text field
c. Input box section is hiding while placing the mouse inside the input box
2. react-native-Keyboard-aware-scroll-view
a.It shows some empty space below the input box
b.ScrollView is reset to the top of the page after I moving to the next input box
Here I set the Keyboard-aware-scroll-view inside the ScrollView component
Kindly clarify
My example code is
<SafeAreaView>
<KeyboardAvoidingView>
<ScrollView>
<Text>Name</Text>
<AutoTags
//required
suggestions={this.state.suggestedName}
handleAddition={this.handleAddition}
handleDelete={this.handleDelete}
multiline={true}
placeholder="TYPE IN"
blurOnSubmit={true}
style= {styles.style}
/>
</ScrollView>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
</SafeAreaView>
[https://github.com/APSL/react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view]
Give your TextInput a position: absolute styling and change its position using the height returned by the keyboardDidShow and keyboardDidHide events.
Here is a modification of the Keyboard example from the React Native documentation for demonstration:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Keyboard, TextInput } from 'react-native';
class Example extends Component {
state = {
keyboardOffset: 0,
};
componentDidMount() {
this.keyboardDidShowListener = Keyboard.addListener(
'keyboardDidShow',
this._keyboardDidShow,
);
this.keyboardDidHideListener = Keyboard.addListener(
'keyboardDidHide',
this._keyboardDidHide,
);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
this.keyboardDidShowListener.remove();
this.keyboardDidHideListener.remove();
}
_keyboardDidShow(event) {
this.setState({
keyboardOffset: event.endCoordinates.height,
})
}
_keyboardDidHide() {
this.setState({
keyboardOffset: 0,
})
}
render() {
return <View style={{flex: 1}}>
<TextInput
style={{
position: 'absolute',
width: '100%',
bottom: this.state.keyboardOffset,
}}
onSubmitEditing={Keyboard.dismiss}
/>
</View>;
}
}
First of all, You don't need any extra code for Android platform. Only keep your inputs inside a ScrollView. Just use KeyboardAvoidingView to encapsulate the ScrollView for iOS platform.
Create function such as below which holds all the inputs
renderInputs = () => {
return (<ScrollView
showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}
style={{
flex: 1,
}}
contentContainerStyle={{
flexGrow: 1,
}}>
<Text>Enter Email</Text>
<TextInput
style={styles.text}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
/>
</ScrollView>)
}
Then render them inside the main view as below
{Platform.OS === 'android' ? (
this.renderInputs()
) : (
<KeyboardAvoidingView behavior="padding">
{this.renderInputs()}
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
)}
I have used this method and I can assure that it works.
If it is not working then there is a chance that you are missing something.
Hooks version:
const [keyboardOffset, setKeyboardOffset] = useState(0);
const onKeyboardShow = event => setKeyboardOffset(event.endCoordinates.height);
const onKeyboardHide = () => setKeyboardOffset(0);
const keyboardDidShowListener = useRef();
const keyboardDidHideListener = useRef();
useEffect(() => {
keyboardDidShowListener.current = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillShow', onKeyboardShow);
keyboardDidHideListener.current = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillHide', onKeyboardHide);
return () => {
keyboardDidShowListener.current.remove();
keyboardDidHideListener.current.remove();
};
}, []);
You can use a scrollview and put all components inside the scrollview and add automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets property to scrollview.it will solve your problem.
automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets Controls whether the ScrollView should automatically adjust its contentInset and
scrollViewInsets when the Keyboard changes its size. The default value is false.
<ScrollView automaticallyAdjustKeyboardInsets={true}>
{allChildComponentsHere}
<View style={{ height: 30 }} />//added some extra space to last element
</ScrollView>
Hope it helps.
you can use KeyboardAvoidingView as follows
if (Platform.OS === 'ios') {
return <KeyboardAvoidingView behavior="padding">
{this.renderChatInputSection()}
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
} else {
return this.renderChatInputSection()
}
Where this.renderChatInputSection() will return the view like textinput for typing message. Hope this will help you.
For android you can set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" for Activity in AndroidManifest file, thus when the keyboard shows, your screen will resize and if you put the TextInput at the bottom of your screen, it will be keep above keyboard
react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view caused similar issue in ios. That's when I came across react-native-keyboard-aware-view. Snippets are pretty much same.
<KeyboardAwareView animated={true}>
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<ScrollView style={{flex: 1}}>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFFFFF'}}>A</Text>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFFFFF'}}>B</Text>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFFFFF'}}>C</Text>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFFFFF'}}>D</Text>
</ScrollView>
</View>
<TouchableOpacity style={{height: 50, backgroundColor: 'transparent', alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center', alignSelf: 'stretch'}}>
<Text style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFFFFF'}}>Submit</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</KeyboardAwareView>
Hope it hepls
You will definitely find this useful from
Keyboard aware scroll view Android issue
I really don't know why you have to add
"androidStatusBar": {
"backgroundColor": "#000000"
}
for KeyboardawareScrollview to work
Note:don't forget to restart the project without the last step it might not work
enjoy!
I faced the same problem when I was working on my side project, and I solved it after tweaking KeyboardAvoidingView somewhat.
I published my solution to npm, please give it a try and give me a feedback! Demo on iOS
Example Snippet
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, TextInput } from 'react-native';
import KeyboardStickyView from 'rn-keyboard-sticky-view';
const KeyboardInput = (props) => {
const [value, setValue] = React.useState('');
return (
<KeyboardStickyView style={styles.keyboardView}>
<TextInput
value={value}
onChangeText={setValue}
onSubmitEditing={() => alert(value)}
placeholder="Write something..."
style={styles.input}
/>
</KeyboardStickyView>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
keyboardView: { ... },
input: { ... }
});
export default KeyboardInput;
I based my solution of #basbase solution.
My issue with his solution that it makes the TextInput jumps up without any regard for my overall view.
That wasn't what I wanted in my case, so I did as he suggested but with a small modification
Just give the parent View styling like this:
<View
style={{
flex: 1,
bottom: keyboardOffset,
}}>
And it would work! the only issue is that if the keyboard is open and you scrolled down you would see the extra blank padding at the end of the screen.
android:launchMode="singleTask"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"
write these two lines in your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
in activity tag
flexGrow: 1 is the key.
Use it like below:
<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.container}>
<TextInput
label="Note"
value={currentContact.note}
onChangeText={(text) => setAttribute("note", text)}
/>
</ScrollView>
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flexGrow: 1,
},
});
Best and Easy Way is to use Scroll View , It will Automatically take content Up and TextInput will not be hide,Can refer Below Code
<ScrollView style={styles.container}>
<View>
<View style={styles.commonView}>
<Image source={firstNameIcon} style={{width: 25, height: 25}}></Image>
<Text style={styles.commonTxt}>First Name</Text>
</View>
<TextInput
onFocus={() => onFocus('firstName')}
placeholder="First Name"
style={styles.txtInput}
onChangeText={(text) => onChangeText(text, 'firstName')}
value={firstNameValue}
/>
</View>
<View>
<View style={styles.commonView}>
<Image source={LastNameIcon} style={{width: 25, height: 25}}></Image>
<Text style={styles.commonTxt}>Last Name</Text>
</View>
<TextInput
onFocus={() => onFocus('lastName')}
placeholder="Last Name"
style={styles.txtInput}
onChangeText={(text) => onChangeText(text, 'lastName')}
value={lastNameValue}
/>
</View>
<View>
<View style={styles.commonView}>
<Image source={callIcon} style={{width: 25, height: 25}}></Image>
<Text style={styles.commonTxt}>Number</Text>
</View>
<TextInput
onFocus={() => onFocus('number')}
placeholder="Number"
style={styles.txtInput}
onChangeText={(text) => onChangeText(text, 'number')}
value={numberValue}
/>
</View>
<View>
<View style={styles.commonView}>
<Image source={emailIcon} style={{width: 25, height: 25}}></Image>
<Text style={styles.commonTxt}>Email</Text>
</View>
<TextInput
onFocus={() => onFocus('email')}
placeholder="Email"
style={styles.txtInput}
onChangeText={(text) => onChangeText(text, 'email')}
value={emailValue}
/>
</View>
<View style={styles.viewSavebtn}>
<TouchableOpacity style={styles.btn}>
<Text style={styles.saveTxt}>Save</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</ScrollView>
go to your Android>app>src>main> AndroidManifest.xml
write these 2 lines :
android:launchMode="singleTop" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
I'm starting to work with React-Native recently, Just try some simple screen but I faced with a problem when my app shown on my device (Installing APK 'app-debug.apk' on 'Redmi 5 Plus - 7.1.2') that The UI has strange black in center between status bar and content.
Please see the image :
App has strange black in center between status bar and content
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
View, StyleSheet, StatusBar, Text
} from 'react-native';
import Main from './src/components/Main';
type Props = {};
export default class App extends Component<Props> {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
titleText: "Bird's Nest",
bodyText: 'This is not really a bird nest.'
};
}
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.baseText}>
<Text style={styles.titleText} onPress={this.onPressTitle}>
{this.state.titleText}{'\n'}{'\n'}
</Text>
<Text numberOfLines={5}>
{this.state.bodyText}
</Text>
</Text>
{/* <Main /> */}
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1
},
baseText: {
fontFamily: 'Cochin',
},
titleText: {
fontSize: 20,
fontWeight: 'bold',
},
});
I try to hide status bar but the strange "Black Header" still there.
Result :Hiding StatusBar
`<View style={styles.container}>
<StatusBar
hidden={true}
backgroundColor="blue"
barStyle="light-content"
/>
<Text style={styles.baseText}>
<Text style={styles.titleText} onPress={this.onPressTitle}>
{this.state.titleText}{'\n'}{'\n'}
</Text>
<Text numberOfLines={5}>
{this.state.bodyText}
</Text>
</Text>
{/* <Main /> */}
</View>`
The problem is that my android phone screen was in special ratio (Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus), then I need to go to the setting area and grant Full screen permission to my app and it's working. Hope this can help the other.
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>
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! :)
How can I insert and style a button in text input in react native like this:
Can I use any code like this?
<Textinput>
<Button></Button>
</Textinput>
Sorry for the delay, but something like this should work:
<View style={{flexDirection:'row', width: window.width, margin: 10, padding:4, alignItems:'center', justifyContent:'center', borderWidth:4, borderColor:'#888, borderRadius:10, backgroundColor:'#fff'}}>
<View style={{flex:4}}>
<TextInput
onChangeText = {(textEntry) => {this.setState({searchText: textEntry})}}
style={{backgroundColor:'transparent'}}
onSubmitEditing = {()=>{this.onSubmit(this.state.searchText)}}
/>
</View>
<View style={{flex:1}}>
<Button onPress={ () => this.onSubmit(this.state.searchText) }>
<Image source={ require('../images/searchImage.png') } style={ { width: 50, height: 50 } } />
</Button>
</View>
</View>
where you adjust the size based on your image and Button is imported like:
import Button from '../components/Button';
I like to keep the button in an external folder, where it is like:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
class Button extends Component {
handlePress(e) {
if (this.props.onPress) {
this.props.onPress(e);
}
}
render() {
return (
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={ this.handlePress.bind(this) }
style={ this.props.style } >
<Text>{ this.props.children }</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
);
}
}
export default Button;
Good luck!
wrapping both in a View with flexDirection:row should get you there.
If you want to get more advanced, you could look at the react-native-textinput-effects package that will give you some very nicely styled inputs.
<View style={{flexDirection:'row'}}>
<View>
<TextInput
style={{alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center',backgroundColor:'white'}}
value = {this.state.searchString}
onChangeText = {(searchString) => {this.setState({searchString})}}
placeholder = 'Search'
keyboardType = 'web-search'
onSubmitEditing = {()=>{this._fetchResults()}}
ref = 'searchBar'
/>
</View>
<TouchableHighlight style={{alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}} onPress = {()=>{this._fetchResults()}} underlayColor = 'transparent'>
<View>
<Icon name="search" size = {20} color = "#4285F4" />
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
if you are not using react-native-vector-icons replace icon with .png magnifying glass image
