React-native-gifted-chat: Fixed the keyboard issue on android without adjustResize on manifest

Created on 21 Dec 2018 · 7Comments · Source: FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-chat

There are a bunch of issues around keyboard pushing up the toolbar / not having to hardcode adjustResize on the manifest since other screens might need to have adjustPan etc.

I am finally able to crack it without updating manifest file or importing an outdated library.
@FaridSafi how can i incorporate my changes and contribute to this project? My changes include adding bridge code.

Hey there @jsochurek ,
I added a bridge method which can be called on every screen you want the soft input mode to be changed. That way you don't need to hardcode the resize option in the manifest file.

Something like this :

@ReactMethod
   public void setSoftInputMode(final int softInputMode) {
        final Activity activity = getCurrentActivity();
        if (activity == null) {
            return;
        }
        activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(softInputMode);
            }
        });
    }

        }
        activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(softInputMode);
            }
        });
    }

Same issues—are there plans to incorporate this into the library without having to eject from Expo?
