React native ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps not working Android

Question

I have the following code, which works on my iOS app and keeps the keyboard open when clicking anywhere on the screen, but on Android it still closes the keyboard, any ideas?

return (
            <ScrollView
                style={ styles.flex }
                automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={ false }
                keyboardShouldPersistTaps={ true }
                contentInset={{ 'bottom':20 }}
                keyboardDismissMode='on-drag'
                >
                <View>...</View>
            </ScrollView>
        );

Answer 1

if your ScrollView/FlatList is inside another ScrollView/Flatlist you have to set keyboardShouldPersistTaps to parent ScrollView/Flatlist as well as all nested ones

Answer 2

Can you please try this. keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
