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>

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>;
}
}
