I've created a react native project using Expo XDE (xde-2.19.3) with a few TextInputs
on the screen. Im using KeyboardAwareScrollView
to scroll the inputs from under the keyboard into view and works fine on iOS but does not work on Android. Hope that makes sense.
Looked at the KeyboardAwareScrollView
docs and saw that I need to configure AndroidManifest.xml
but it seems that Expo has already sorted this out: https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/master/template-files/android/AndroidManifest.xml
However I'm still not able to get this working on Android...
What could I be missing?
render() {
return (
<KeyboardAwareScrollView
enableOnAndroid='true'
enableAutoAutomaticScrol='true'
keyboardOpeningTime={0}
>
<ScrollView style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.subcontainer}>
<View style={styles.form}>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
<TextInput
ref='NoduleCountInput'
onFocus={() => this.onFocus()}
onBlur={() => this.onBlur()}
keyboardType='phone-pad'
returnKeyType='done'
placeholder='Test'
style={styles.field}
/>
</View>
</View>
</ScrollView>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
);
}
I tried the above solution for cross platform support but its not correct. The right and complete solution if you want the focus with automatic scrolling to TextInput to work is to set parameters as follows:
<KeyboardAwareScrollView
enableOnAndroid={true}
enableAutomaticScroll={(Platform.OS === 'ios')}
>
...
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
This is because enableAutomaticScroll is enabled by default and it mixes up with the native Android behaviour to give unexpected results. So set this field to false when Platform is Android.
And yes also set the following in app.json
without which it will not work.
"androidStatusBar": {
"backgroundColor": "#000000"
}
I tried the other solutions and they didn't work for me, but finally I manage to make it work by using the following code:
<KeyboardAwareScrollView enableOnAndroid={true} extraHeight={130} extraScrollHeight={130}>
...
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
