React-native: Height adjustment when keyboard appears is wrong

[kelvinaliyanto]

Hi, I am trying to shorten the screen when the keyboard is active. But it always adjust it weirdly in android, it works fine in iOS.

Before keyboard is active:

After keyboard is active:

I am using RN 0.37, this also happens when i am starting from scratch:

This is my code:

import React from 'react';

import {
  Keyboard,
  Dimensions,
  ScrollView,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  TextInput,
  AppRegistry
} from 'react-native';

var {height, width} = Dimensions.get('window');
var _keyboardWillShowSubscription;
var _keyboardWillHideSubscription;
height = height - 20;

class awesomeproject extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = {
            height: height,
        };
    }
    componentDidMount() {
        _keyboardWillShowSubscription = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidShow', (e) => this._keyboardWillShow(e));
        _keyboardWillHideSubscription = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidHide', (e) => this._keyboardWillHide(e));
    }
    componentWillUnmount() {
        _keyboardWillShowSubscription.remove();
        _keyboardWillHideSubscription.remove();
    }
    _keyboardWillShow(e) {
        this.setState({height: height - e.endCoordinates.height});
    }
    _keyboardWillHide(e) {
        this.setState({height: height});
    }
  render() {
    return (
        <View style={{height: this.state.height}}>  
            <View style={{backgroundColor: 'blue', flex: 1}} />
            <View style={styles.fieldBox}>
                <TextInput 
                    style={styles.field}
                    placeholder={'hello'}
                    autoCapitalize={'none'}
                    placeholderTextColor={'#afbccc'}
                    blurOnSubmit={false}
                    autoCorrect={false}
                    ref={'textinput'}
                    onChangeText={(data) => this.setState({message: data})} />
            </View>
        </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  field: {
        color:'black',
        fontWeight:'bold',
        fontSize:18,
        flex: 1,
        marginHorizontal: 10
    },
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent('awesomeproject', () => awesomeproject);

try the keyboardavoidingview

[kelvinaliyanto]

@vonovak I have tried using KeyboardAvoidingView, and it still failed. the problem is that the <View style={{backgroundColor: 'blue', flex: 1}} /> will be replaced with ScrollView component and I want the ScrollView container's height to be the one is adjusted, instead the whole main container to be shifted up. Can it be caused by my android sdk version? My build tools is v 23.0.3. Thanks.

I meet this problem too. It is not related to the android version.

[onepiece-dz]

please，you solved this problem?

[kelvinaliyanto]

@MingYe-dz try adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" to your Android Manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

[sood03]

Did you get any solution to this?

[agrcrobles]

Did you try KeyboardSpacer ?

Seeing the same behavior; there's a visible gap between the keyboard and the view. @vonovak KeyboardAvoidingView does not work for me either. There are numerous open issues describing the same bugs I'm having (padding not being removed after keyboard is dismissed, etc.)

It's quite frustrating when I can't build my own when the out-of-the-box solution doesn't work. You guys are really tying my hands here.

kelvinaliyanto's advice isn't too far off. If that doesn't work, try replacing

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

with

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"

in your android/app/src/main/Android.Manifest.xml.
