React-native-google-places-autocomplete: How can i get onChangeText event on the input text ?

Just found the answer to this - the component has an undocumented textInputProps prop that accepts an onChangeText handler

Use it like this:

textInputProps={{
    onChangeText: (text) => { console.log(text) }
}}

@se1exin ... I want to use "ref" and "onSubmitEditing" props ... I tried your method but getting an error "undefined is not an object (evaluating '_this2.refs.businessaddress.focus') ... any suggestions ? I am new to react native

You can try to add textInputProps on your googleMapAutocompleteInput with ref inside like this :

textInputProps={{
    onRef={(r) => this.googleMapInput = r}
}}

and in your TextInput before googleMapAutocompleteInput try to add this props :

              onSubmitEditing={() => this.googleMapInput.focus()}
              returnKeyType={ 'next' }
