Keyboard

Keyboard module to control keyboard events.

Usage

The Keyboard module allows you to listen for native events and react to them, as well as make changes to the keyboard, like dismissing it.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Keyboard, TextInput } from 'react-native';

class Example extends Component {
  componentWillMount () {
    this.keyboardDidShowListener = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidShow', this._keyboardDidShow);
    this.keyboardDidHideListener = Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidHide', this._keyboardDidHide);
  }

  componentWillUnmount () {
    this.keyboardDidShowListener.remove();
    this.keyboardDidHideListener.remove();
  }

  _keyboardDidShow () {
    alert('Keyboard Shown');
  }

  _keyboardDidHide () {
    alert('Keyboard Hidden');
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <TextInput
        onSubmitEditing={Keyboard.dismiss}
      />
    );
  }
}
