I am building a chat UI in react native and am having an issue with using KeyboardAvoidingView inside of a ScrollView. When selecting the TextInput the height between the input field and keyboard seems to vary based on the device I am using. How do I standardize this so that it works equally for all devices?
import React from 'react'
import { StyleSheet, View, Text, TextInput, ScrollView, KeyboardAvoidingView, Platform } from 'react-native'
import Message from './message'
export default class Messages extends React.Component {
static navigationOptions = ({ navigation }) => ({
headerTitle: 'Messages',
headerStyle: {
backgroundColor: 'rgb(0,0,0)',
},
headerTitleStyle: {
fontSize: 20,
color: 'rgb(255,255,255)'
},
headerTintColor: 'rgb(0,122,255)',
})
state = {
messages: [
{
message: 'yeah its not working',
userId: 1,
userName: 'Client'
},
{
message: 'what isnt working...',
userId: 2,
userName: 'Sean'
},
{
message: 'it, all of it',
userId: 1,
userName: 'Client'
},
{
message: 'were on it',
userId: 3,
userName: 'Matt'
},
{
message: 'fjdklsajfklsdjafkdjslkafjkdsjal;fdks;lajfdklsjldjskfja;sfjasdfjasdjlkfaj',
userId: 3,
userName: 'Matt'
},
{
message: 'great!',
userId: 1,
userName: 'Client'
},
{
message: 'blah',
userId: 1,
userName: 'Client'
},
{
message: 'derp',
userId: 2,
userName: 'Sean'
},
{
message: 'merh!',
userId: 2,
userName: 'Sean'
},
{
message: 'help pls',
userId: 2,
userName: 'Sean'
},
]
}
renderMessages = (messages) => {
return messages.map((data, i) => <Message data={data} key={i}/>)
}
render() {
return (
<ScrollView
style={styles.container}
ref={ref => this.scrollView = ref}
onContentSizeChange={(contentWidth, contentHeight)=> {this.scrollView.scrollToEnd({animated: true})}}
>
<KeyboardAvoidingView
behavior={Platform.OS == 'ios' ? "position" : null}
>
<View>
{this.renderMessages(this.state.messages)}
<View style={styles.textBox}>
<TextInput
style={styles.textInput}
placeholder='Reply...'
placeholderTextColor={'rgb(216,216,216)'}
returnKeyType='done'
autoCapitalize='none'
selectionColor='#3490dc'
multiline={true}
blurOnSubmit={true}
/>
</View>
</View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
</ScrollView>
)
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
//flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'rgb(0,0,0)'
},
textInput: {
color: 'rgb(255,255,255)',
fontSize: 18,
},
textBox: {
borderColor: '#242F39',
borderWidth: 2,
borderRadius: 2,
padding: 10,
paddingLeft: 16,
marginTop: 10,
backgroundColor: '#0A151F'
}
