Android does not support overflows (#20), for that reason it is necessary to wrap the autocomplete into a absolute positioned view on Android. This will allow the suggestion list to overlap other views inside your component.

`javascript
function MyComponent() {
return (


your props /} />


Some content


);
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
autocompleteContainer: {
flex: 1,
left: 0,
position: 'absolute',
right: 0,
top: 0,
zIndex: 1
}
});

Known issues

* By default the autocomplete will not behave as expected inside a . Set the scroll view's prop to fix this: keyboardShouldPersistTaps={true} for RN <= 0.39, or keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always' for RN >= 0.40. (#5). Alternatively, you can use renderResultList to render a custom result list that does not use FlatList. See the tests for an example.
* If you want to test with Jest add `jest.mock('react-native-autocomplete-input', () => 'Autocomplete');` to your test.
