React-native-ui-kitten: Multiline autocomplete

[pasalino]

💬 Question

In AutoComplete component i've set multiline at true and numberOfRow at 4 .
The result is: the component growth till 4 lines, but if i have only 1 line the component show only one line:

But if i set the height atleast 200px if i have only one line, the component not show the gray square directly for 4 lines.

 <Autocomplete
          inputStyle={{
            color: 'black',
            height: 350,
            width: 250,
          }}

I do not understand what you expect to achieve by passing inputStyle prop. See api section for the component documentation. For the simple layout, I don't passing height to the style prop.

<Layout style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center' }}>
   <Autocomplete
      multiline={true}
      numberOfLines={4}
      value={value}
      data={data}
      onChangeText={onChangeText}
      onSelect={onSelect}
  />
</Layout>

My question means that i want input text directly with 4 line height when never are inserted in.

When the component is blank, the inputbox must have 4 line height instead of adapt when insert text

You may use style prop to set needed height

Not work! Produce only white space after component

<Autocomplete
          inputStyle={{
            color: 'black',
            height: 150,
            width: 250,
          }}
          style={{
            flexGrow: 2,
            width: '100%',
            minHeight: 200,
            color: 'black',
            height: 200,
          }}

@pasalino agreed. Thanks for posting this.
However, there is a workaround for this. You may pass height directly to Autocomplete without using style

<Autocomplete                
  height={200}               
  {...props}     
/>                           

Should work, but warn if you use typescript
