Installation

Via npm:

npm install react-native-keyboard-accessory --save

Via Yarn:

yarn add react-native-keyboard-accessory

Usage

You can use the KeyboardAccessoryView or the KeyboardAccessoryNavigation components.

Keyboard Accessory View

Import react-native-keyboard-accessory

import { KeyboardAccessoryView } from 'react-native-keyboard-accessory'

Use it inside your render() function:

<KeyboardAccessoryView>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAccessoryView>

Important: KeyboardAccessoryView should be positioned inside the Root Element which is covering the screen, mostly the top most view styled as { flex: 1 }.

Render Prop

Alternatively, you can also pass a function as the children prop of the component. This allows you to access an isKeyboardVisible prop which is useful to render things conditionally based on the visibility of the keyboard:

<KeyboardAccessoryView>
  {({ isKeyboardVisible }) => {
    return (
      <>
        <Text>Always visible</Text>
        {!isKeyboardVisible ? (
          <Text>Hidden when keyboard is visible</Text>
        ) : null}
      </>
    );
  }}
</KeyboardAccessoryView>

Keyboard Accessory Navigation

Import react-native-keyboard-accessory

import { KeyboardAccessoryNavigation } from 'react-native-keyboard-accessory'

And use it inside your render() function:

<KeyboardAccessoryNavigation />

Important: KeyboardAccessoryNavigation should be positioned inside the Root Element which is covering the screen, mostly the top most view styled as { flex: 1 }.

For Ejected Apps

For Android, make sure you have set android:windowSoftInputMode to adjustResize in android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

And set androidAdjustResize to true. For example,

<KeyboardAccessoryView androidAdjustResize />
// or
<KeyboardAccessoryNavigation androidAdjustResize />

To maintain KeyboardAvoidingView behavior

<KeyboardAccessoryNavigation avoidKeyboard />

API

KeyboardAccessoryView

Prop	Type	Default	Description
style	object	null	Style object or StyleSheet reference which will be applied to Accessory View
animateOn	enum:string	'ios'	Enables show/hide animation on given platform. Values: ['ios', 'android', 'all', 'none'].
animationConfig	function or object	null	For passing custom animations to show/hide. If given prop is function, duration and easing parameters from Keyboard event will be passed to the function, function should return LayoutAnimation compatible animation config. Or you can directly pass animation config object.

bumperHeight	number	15	Bumper height to prevent visual glitches if animation couldn't keep up with the keyboard animation.
visibleOpacity	number	1	Opacity of the Accessory when it is visible. Note: Opacity is used for hiding the accessory to prevent render delays.
