I have a notes input that is multilined. Currently when I press return it goes to the next line and when I tap on a part of the screen that isn't a keyboard nothing happens. So it's just stuck right now and i have to reload the app. I have tried the keyboard dismissal and it still isn't working. This is a child component so maybe that is the issue?
My code:
render() {
return (
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss()}> //also tried () => Keyboard.dismiss()
<Modal transparent animationType='fade' visible={this.props.createHomeworkModalVisible}>
<View style={styles.containerStyle}>
<View style={styles.modalContainer}>
<Formik
initialValues={{
assignmentName: '',
dueDate: null,
notes: '',
pictures: []
}}
validationSchema={validationSchema}
onSubmit={(values) => {
console.log(values);
}}
>
{formikProps => (
<View>
<View style={{ padding: 5 }}>
<TextInput
placeholder={'Add notes'}
placeholderTextColor='#cdd2c9'
value={formikProps.values.notes}
multiline
style={styles.notesInput}
onChangeText={formikProps.handleChange('notes')}
onBlur={formikProps.handleBlur('notes')}
/>
</View>
</View>
)}
</Formik>
</View>
</View>
</Modal>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
);
}
}
You can try something like,
import {Keyboard} from 'react-native'
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss} accessible={false}>
<View>
<View style={{ padding: 5 }}>
<TextInput
placeholder={'Add notes'}
placeholderTextColor='#cdd2c9'
value={formikProps.values.notes}
multiline
style={styles.notesInput}
onChangeText={formikProps.handleChange('notes')}
onBlur={formikProps.handleBlur('notes')}
/>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
hope it helps. feel free for doubts
import Keyboard from 'react-native'
Call this function : Keyboard.dismiss()
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 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! :)
I am trying to use KeyboardAvoidingView (also tried a few alternatives) but it either shows the keyboard over the input field or adds a huge amount of padding between the keyboard and the input field. When I stripe the page of any other content it fairs a bit better and only adds a bit of padding between the input field and the keyboard.
Demo of the issue:

<KeyboardAvoidingView behavior={'position'}>
{this.state.story.image_key ?
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<Image style={styles.storyBackgroundImage} source={{uri: this.state.story.image_url}} />
<VibrancyView
style={styles.absolute}
blurType="light"
blurAmount={25}
/>
<Image style={styles.storyImage} source={{uri: this.state.story.image_url}} />
</View>
: null
}
<View style={styles.storyContainer}>
<Text style={styles.storyTitle}>{this.state.story.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.chapterHeader} onPress={() => navigate('User', { id: this.state.story.author.id, name: this.state.story.author.name })}>Chapter 1 by {this.state.story.author.name}</Text>
<Text style={styles.storyText}>{this.state.story.content}</Text>
{this.state.story.chapters.map(function(chapter, i) {
return <ChapterComponent chapter={chapter} key={i} navigation={() => navigate('User', { id: chapter.author.id, name: chapter.author.name })}></ChapterComponent>
})}
<WritingComponent></WritingComponent>
</View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
WritingComponent
import React from 'react';
import {
AppRegistry,
TextInput
} from 'react-native';
export default class WritingComponent extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { text: '' };
}
render() {
return (
<TextInput
style={{height: 40, borderColor: 'gray', borderWidth: 1}}
multiline={true}
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({text})}
value={this.state.text}
/>
)
}
}
AppRegistry.registerComponent('WritingComponent', () => WritingComponent);

I think the problem is the scroll view, <ScrollView style={{flex: 1}}> should be contained within your KeyboardAvoidingView Since you want this scrolling container also be resized when keyboard comes up...
set keyboardVerticalOffset="80" along with keyboardAvoidingView.
Increase/decrease 80 according to the width of your component
I found example code on a facebook React Native page which shows how to use setNativeProp to clear text on a click but I can't see how to do it with multiple text boxes. Here is the code:
var App = React.createClass({
clearText() {
this._textInput.setNativeProps({text: ''});
},
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput ref={component => this._textInput = component}
style={styles.textInput} />
<TouchableOpacity onPress={this.clearText}>
<Text>Clear text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
});
The ref seems to be fixed in the function so will always target the same TextInput box. How can I alter the function to target any TextInput box I indicate?
This should work. Notice that the ref on the TextInput needs to be the one you call from the clearText functino.
var App = React.createClass({
clearText(fieldName) {
this.refs[fieldName].setNativeProps({text: ''});
},
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput ref={'textInput1'} style={styles.textInput} />
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.clearText('textInput1')}>
<Text>Clear text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<TextInput ref={'textInput2'} style={styles.textInput} />
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.clearText('textInput2')}>
<Text>Clear text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
});
Updated my answer to clear different fields.
You can also use something like this to clear the text of TextInput.
clearText(fieldName) {
this.refs[fieldName].clear(0);
},
