React Native android TextInput fail to show keyboard

Question

I am facing some issue with react native textInput.

TextInput was working fine before I added createBottomTabNavigation. It worked fine on IOS but not the Android. I created a sample component and the issue persist. The issue here:

1. when TextInput field is clicked on at SamplePage Component, the page just kinda blink and the keyboard retreat.

Here is an image of the issue on my real android device: react-native android app

And here are my codes:

import React from 'react';
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  ScrollView,
  View,
  Text,
  StatusBar,
  TouchableOpacity,
  TextInput,
} from 'react-native';
import { NavigationContainer } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import Ionicons from 'react-native-vector-icons/Ionicons';
import ContextApp from '../../context/contextApp';
import PremiumScreen from './premiumScreen';
import SettingsPage from '../setting/settingsPage';
import ProfileContainer from '../profile/profileContainer';


  const MainPage = () => {

    const Pages = () => {
      return (
        <SafeAreaView>
        <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" 
        backgroundColor="white"/>
                <ScrollView
                contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
                alwaysBounceVertical={false}
                style={styles.scrollView}>
                <View style={styles.container}>
                  <View style={styles.partsView}>
                      <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Call Someone Today!</Text>
                      <View style={styles.switch}>
                          <Text style={styles.sectionDescription}>Go Online! </Text>
                          <Switch
                              style={styles.switchButton}
                              trackColor={{ false: "#767577", true: "#81b0ff" }}
                              thumbColor={isEnabled ? "#f5dd4b" : "#f4f3f4"}

                              onValueChange={toggleSwitch}
                              value={isEnabled}
                          />
                      </View>
                      <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>OR</Text>
                  </View>
                </View>

        )
      }
    const SamplePage = () => {

          }}></TextInput>
        </View>
      )
    }
      const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
    return (
    <NavigationContainer>
      <Tab.Navigator
        screenOptions={({ route }) => ({
          tabBarIcon: ({ focused, color, size }) => {
            let iconName: string;

            if (route.name === 'Home') {
              iconName = focused
                ? 'ios-people'
                : 'ios-people';

              iconName = focused ? 'ios-star' : 'ios-star-outline';
            }

            // You can return any component that you like here!
            return <Ionicons name={iconName} size={size} color={color} />;
          },
        })}
        tabBarOptions={{

    </NavigationContainer>
      );
  };

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    scrollView: {
      height: '100%',
    },
    // rest of styles
  });
  
  export default MainPage;

Answer 1

Found the solution to my answer. Writing it down just incase someone encounter what I did.

Go to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and change the following:

    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

to

    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan"

rebuild your android app.
