I have a number of TextInput in my react-native application and I want that if user clicks on next key, the next input must be focused. I am trying to do this with returnKeyType prop passed to all the TextInput. However this doesn't work as intended ,i.e. next input is not focused. And my code for same looks like
<TextInput
ref={firstInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef}
value={closingCosts.firstInputForDaysInterest}
onChangeText={value =>
onStateChange('firstInputForDaysInterest', value)
}
onEndEditing={event =>
onEndEditing(
'firstInputForDaysInterest',
event.nativeEvent.text,
)
}
placeholderTextColor={colors.placeholderColor}
placeholder={constants.common.zeroPlaceholder}
autoCapitalize="none"
returnKeyType="next"
onFocus={() => onFocus(elementName)}
keyboardType="decimal-pad"
style={[
styles.textInput,
styles.textInputWidth,
styles.textInputMargin,
]}
/>
The workaround that I thought was passing ref and then focusing the next input onEndEditing, but if I does this the textinput will not be closed when I tap outside the textInput. So how can I make my text input to focus on next one?
You can use onSubmitEditing prop to focus the next input for example:
const firstInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef = React.useRef()
const secondInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef = React.useRef()
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput
ref={firstInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef}
placeholderTextColor={'gray'}
placeholder={'first'}
autoCapitalize="none"
returnKeyType="next"
keyboardType="decimal-pad"
onSubmitEditing={()=>secondInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef.current?.focus()}
style={[
styles.textInput,
styles.textInputWidth,
styles.textInputMargin,
]}
/>
<TextInput
ref={secondInputForDaysInterestTextInputRef}
placeholderTextColor={'gray'}
placeholder={'second'}
autoCapitalize="none"
returnKeyType="next"
onFocus={() => alert('I am focused !')}
keyboardType="decimal-pad"
style={[
styles.textInput,
styles.textInputWidth,
styles.textInputMargin,
]}
/>
</View>
);
Example on Snack
If you want to hide the textinput (hide keyboard) when pressing somewhere else in the app, wrap it it like this for example:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss}>
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput />
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
Don't forget to import TouchableWithoutFeedback and Keyboard from 'react-native'
I am currently making a mobile app and part of it is collecting user data. At the minute I am stuck on getting the DatePicker to show on screen once the text field has been clicked on. I have tried to use the onFocus prop but it does not seem to be working and its not throwing any errors in the console. Here is the code that i have tried using:
const showDatePicker = () => {
return(
<DateTimePicker
value={date}
mode='date'
is24Hour={true}
display="spinner"
onChange={onChange}
/>
)
}
<View style={styles.inputContainer}>
<FontAwesome name="user-circle-o" color={'#808080'} size={20}/>
<TextInput onFocus={() => showDatePicker()} style={styles.input} placeholder="Date Of Birth"
/>
</View>
To give some additional context to the problem I am using a modal which acts as a form for collecting the data. Any help or tips appreciated.
You can wrap the TextInput with a <Pressable />.
<Pressable onPress={() => showDatePicker()}>
<TextInput />
</Pressable>
here is my code the input not submit to the onsubmit function
<TextInput
autoCapitalize={"none"}
style={[styles.textInput, black, semi_h4]}
returnKeyType="done"
numberOfLines={1}
blurOnSubmit={false}
onSubmitEditing={event => {
Keyboard.dismiss();
this.onSubmit();
}}
placeholder="Pin *"
placeholderTextColor={"#313131"}
ref={input => (this.c_pin = input)}
/>
please tell me how to working onsubmitediting
you have to pass text from submit event to the function,
<TextInput
onSubmitEditing={(event) => this.onSubmit(event.nativeEvent.text)}
/>
I created a screen keyboard component that I want to disable the platform's keyboard, how I can disable it?
<TextInput
secureTextEntry
ref="Pin"
selectionColor="#656565"
keyboardType="numeric"
activeColor="#656565"
inactiveColor="#fff"
autoFocus={false}
ignoreCase
codeLength={4}
inputPosition="center"
size={50}
onFulfill={isValid => this}
codeInputStyle={{ borderWidth: 1.5 }}
/>
Just write showSoftInputOnFocus={false} in <TextInput> like this:
<TextInput showSoftInputOnFocus={false} />
I had issues also. No other solutions was working for me. This will display text input field and it will be clickable but not editable.
<TouchableOpacity onPress={this.openPinKeyboard}>
<View pointerEvents="none">
<Input editable={false} value="1234" />
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
I think you need to add something like:
<TextInput showSoftInputOnFocus={false} keyboardType="numeric" />
setting keyboardType to null worked for me
EDIT:
this only worked in the simulator, running it on an actual device the native keyboard still appeared.
wrapping the <TextInput /> in a <TouchableWithoutFeedback> element in the example below worked.
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss} >
<TextInput />
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
You may try to set keyboardType to none, if it doesn't work another alternative is to set the editable prop to false.

<TextInput showSoftInputOnFocus={false}/>
This work for me, sometime I need onFocus action to navigate new screen, and don't need keyboard open animation. Prop Editable will disable textfield, can not pressable
try this solution i hope this will work for android and ios both...
// Step 1: Get Keyboard, TouchableWithoutFeedback from ‘react-native’;
import { View, TextInput, StyleSheet, Keyboard, TouchableWithoutFeedback } from 'react-native';
// Step 2: Create an arrow function to write dismiss keyboard code
const DismissKeyboard = ({ children }) => (
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => Keyboard.dismiss()}>
{children}
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
);
// Step 3: Wrap all TextInput inside <DismissKeyboard> </DismissKeyboard>
//Example
<DismissKeyboard>
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput style={styles.input} placeholder="email" />
<TextInput style={styles.input} placeholder="password" />
</View>
</DismissKeyboard>
The easiest solution is to use the onFocus prop on TextInput.
Import Keyboard from ‘react-native’
import {Keyboard, TextInput} from
'react-native'
Then pass Keyboard.dismiss() to TextInput onFocus prop, to stop the keyboard from popping up when focused.
<TextInput onFocus = {()=> Keyboard.dismiss()} .../>
Now test the input field by pressing it to see if the keyboard will pop up
just put this under text input tag this worked for me in react-native
<TextInput
//this line
editable={false}
/>
you can do it by pointerEvents="none"
<View pointerEvents="none">
<TextInput
focusable={false}
style={{color: '#00000000'}}
onChangeText={setEmail}
/>
</View>
I'm using React Native's TextInput. I want to disable return key as per the requirement. Is there any way to disable/enable return key by custom code?
I tried with enablesReturnKeyAutomatically but it doesn't work.
Yes we can, by using the onSubmitEditing props for TextInput. Posting sample here:
<TextInput
value={password}
returnKeyType="done"
onSubmitEditing={() => {
if (password != '') {
onLoginPressed();
}
}}
placeholder="Password"
sub_place="PASSWORD"
onChangeText={value => setPassword(value)}
blurOnSubmit={false}
ref={passwordFocus}
/>
