Keyboard aware scrollview with scroll position bug fixed

react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view

A ScrollView component that handles keyboard appearance and automatically scrolls to focused TextInput.

Supported versions

- v0.4.0 requires RN>=0.48
- v0.2.0 requires RN>=0.32.0.
- v0.1.2 requires RN>=0.27.2 but you should use 0.2.0 in order to make it work with multiple scroll views.
- v0.0.7 requires react-native>=0.25.0.
- Use v0.0.6 for older RN versions.

Installation

Installation can be done through npm or yarn:

``shell
npm i react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view --save
`

`shell
yarn add react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view
`

Usage

You can use the KeyboardAwareScrollView, KeyboardAwareSectionList or the KeyboardAwareFlatList
components. They accept ScrollView, SectionList and FlatList default props respectively and
implement a custom high order component called KeyboardAwareHOC to handle keyboard appearance.
The high order component is also available if you want to use it in any other component.

Import react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view and wrap your content inside
it:

`js
import { KeyboardAwareScrollView } from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view'
`

`jsx





`

Auto-scroll in TextInput fields

As of v0.1.0, the component auto scrolls to the focused TextInput 😎. For versions v0.0.7 and older you can do the following.

$3

In order to scroll to any TextInput field, you can use the built-in method scrollToFocusedInput. Example:

`js
_scrollToInput (reactNode: any) {
// Add a 'scroll' ref to your ScrollView
this.scroll.props.scrollToFocusedInput(reactNode)
}
`

`jsx
innerRef={ref => {
this.scroll = ref
}}>

onFocus={(event: Event) => {
// bind the function if you're using ES6 classes
this._scrollToInput(ReactNative.findNodeHandle(event.target))
}}
/>


`

$3

There's another built-in function that lets you programatically scroll to any position of the scroll view:

`js
this.scroll.props.scrollToPosition(0, 0)
`

Register to keyboard events

You can register to ScrollViewResponder events onKeyboardWillShow and onKeyboardWillHide:

`jsx
onKeyboardWillShow={(frames: Object) => {
console.log('Keyboard event', frames)
}}>




`

Android Support

First, Android natively has this feature, you can easily enable it by setting windowSoftInputMode in AndroidManifest.xml. Check here.

But if you want to use feature like extraHeight, you need to enable Android Support with the following steps:

- Make sure you are using react-native 0.46 or above.
- Set windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan in AndroidManifest.xml.
- Set enableOnAndroid property to true.

Android Support is not perfect, here is the supported list:

| Prop | Android Support |
| --------------------------- | ------------------- |
| viewIsInsideTabBar | Yes |
| resetScrollToCoords | Yes |
| enableAutomaticScroll | Yes |
| extraHeight | Yes |
| extraScrollHeight | Yes |
| enableResetScrollToCoords | Yes |
| keyboardOpeningTime | No |

API

$3

All the ScrollView/FlatList props will be passed.

| Prop | Type | Description |
| --------------------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| innerRef | Function | Catch the reference of the component. |
| viewIsInsideTabBar | boolean | Adds an extra offset that represents the TabBarIOS height. |
| resetScrollToCoords | Object: {x: number, y: number} | Coordinates that will be used to reset the scroll when the keyboard hides. |
| enableAutomaticScroll | boolean | When focus in TextInput will scroll the position, default is enabled. |
| extraHeight | number | Adds an extra offset when focusing the TextInputs. |
| extraScrollHeight | number | Adds an extra offset to the keyboard. Useful if you want to stick elements above the keyboard. |
| enableResetScrollToCoords | boolean | Lets the user enable or disable automatic resetScrollToCoords. |
| keyboardOpeningTime | number | Sets the delay time before scrolling to new position, default is 250 |
| enableOnAndroid | boolean | Enable Android Support |

$3

Use innerRef to get the component reference and use this.scrollRef.props to access these methods.

| Method | Parameter | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| getScrollResponder | void | Get ScrollResponder |
| scrollToPosition | x: number, y: number, animated: bool = true | Scroll to specific position with or without animation. |
| scrollToEnd | animated?: bool = true | Scroll to end with or without animation. |
| scrollIntoView | element: React.Element<*>, options: { getScrollPosition: ?(parentLayout, childLayout, contentOffset) => { x: number, y: number, animated: boolean } } | Scrolls an element inside a KeyboardAwareScrollView into view. |

Enabling any component to be keyboard-aware is very easy. Take a look at the code of KeyboardAwareFlatList:

`js
/ @flow /

import { FlatList } from 'react-native'
import listenToKeyboardEvents from './KeyboardAwareHOC'

export default listenToKeyboardEvents(FlatList)
`

The HOC can also be configured. Sometimes it's more convenient to provide a static config than configuring the behavior with props. This HOC config can be overriden with props.

`js
/ @flow /

import { FlatList } from 'react-native'
import listenToKeyboardEvents from './KeyboardAwareHOC'

const config = {
enableOnAndroid: true,
enableAutomaticScroll: true
}

export default listenToKeyboardEvents(config)(FlatList)
`

The available config options are:

`js
{
enableOnAndroid: boolean,
contentContainerStyle: ?Object,
enableAutomaticScroll: boolean,
extraHeight: number,
extraScrollHeight: number,
enableResetScrollToCoords: boolean,
keyboardOpeningTime: number,
viewIsInsideTabBar: boolean,
refPropName: string,
extractNativeRef: Function
}
`
