i am using number-pad keyboard in react-native, i want to hide the keyboard when click on done button,for that i want to add done button above the keyboard, is there any possibility like IOS apps to hide the keyboard, Any help much appreciated
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but you can add a 'done' button to the keyboard using the prop returnKeyType.
E.g: returnKeyType={ 'done' }
More info here https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/textinput.html#returnkeytype
returnKeyLabel - What is the text of the button.
onSubmitEditing - Click Action. Keyboard.dismiss here to dismiss the keyboard.
<TextInput
returnKeyLabel='Done'
returnKeyType='done'
onSubmitEditing={Keyboard.dismiss} />
Using React Native v.63 in 2021
If you just use the returnKeyType='done' it will automatically hide the keyboard
Notice you could also use your own function with onSubmitEditing={() => yourFunctionNameHere()}
This worked for me =>
<TextInput
style={styles.textBox}
maxLength={5}
placeholder="Enter Zip Code"
placeholderTextColor={'#6D7376'}
autoCompleteType="postal-code"
keyboardType="number-pad"
returnKeyType="done"
onChangeText={text => setZip(text)}
onSubmitEditing={() => yourFunctionNameHere()}
/>
here is the direct documentation
https://reactnative.dev/docs/textinput#returnkeytype
Natively the UITextField doesn't support returnKeyboardType when keyboardType="number-pad"
Custom keyboard development can help you.

I need to give focus to a TextInput without having the keyboard to open, because I might have a physical keyboard connected to the device in my use case scenario and I might want to keep virtual keyboard enabled on Android.
The solution I thought to was to give autoFocus to the TextInput and, in the onFocus callback, dismiss the keyboard.
What happens, though, is that the TextInput loses focus too.
Is there any viable known solution?
<TextInput
onChangeText={text => setState(text)}
value={state}
autoFocus
onFocus={() => {
console.log('physicalKeyboard set?', isPhysicalKeyboard())
if (isPhysicalKeyboard()) Keyboard.dismiss()
}}
/>
As suggested in the accepted answer of this question, there is a new prop that can be set to achieve what I need, that is showSoftInputOnFocus.
So the code becomes like this
<TextInput
onChangeText={text => setState(text)}
value={state}
autoFocus
showSoftInputOnFocus={() => !isPhysicalKeyboard()}
/>
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}
/>
)
}
How do I call code or respond to events in my native application with React Native? Can anyone explain with an example?
I think Pedro has a great start. If it's a button, you do an onPress event. There are also events for things like text inputs.
<TextInput
style={{height: 40}}
placeholder="Type here to translate!"
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({text})}
/>
You can also call functions as state changes just like regular React.js.
Do you have an example of something specific you were looking to accomplish?
Do you mean respond to events like when a user presses a button? If so check this section Handling Touches.
When a user presses a button you can handle this way:
<Button
onPress={() => { /* This function will be called when the button is pressed */ }}
/>
I want keyboard not to show up at all when i touch my text input.If i use 'Keyboard.dismiss' i loose the focus on my text input i am using custom keyboard which itself is part of my screen so i don't want any keyboard to show up at all without loosing the focus on my text input, any solution please.I have tried using libraries but facing same problems again and again what should i do. Here the code i Am using
<TextInput onFocus={Keyboard.dismiss}>
Use <TextInput showSoftInputOnFocus={false} />
It will hide the keyboard when you focus on the text input.
ReactNative TextInput has showSoftInputOnFocus prop, which is due to docs should hide keyboard. But seems like it doesn't work.
I found this solution, works for me:
<>
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.toggleVisible}>
<View>
<View pointerEvents="none">
<Input
value={String(value)}
placeholder={placeholder}
/>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
<DateTimePicker
isVisible={this.state.visible}
onConfirm={onChange}
onCancel={this.toggleVisible}
/>
Correct way is to encapsulate View with keyboard is calling Keyboard.dismiss()
you should use TouchableWithoutFeedback so that on clicking it should disable
the keyboard
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss}>
<TextInput keyboardType='numeric'/>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
Try this may be it can solve the problem
I'm trying to use a barcode reader in my app so I can fill a TextInput within using software keyboard.
The idea is to use something like this:
<TextInput
autoFocus={true}
onFocus={Keyboard.dismiss}
multiline={false}
onSubmitEditing={() => this.submitFunction()}
/>
It partialy works as I want, I can read the code and It's shown properly but onSubmitEditing is not called.
Does anyone knows how to hide keyboard on a TextView but mantain the focus so onSubmitEditing is called?
If keyboard isn't dismissed onSubmitEditing run as spected.
