react-native-screen-keyboard

Install

To get started install via npm:

 npm install react-native-screen-keyboard

Usage

Import:

 import { VirtualKeyboard } from 'react-native-screen-keyboard';

Then add it to your code:

<VirtualKeyboard
    onRef={ref => (this.keyboard = ref)}
    keyDown={this.keyDown.bind(this)}
/>

// Callback function which receives the key pressed
keyDown(key){
   // Key pressed
}

The back and custom key will pass a sting, either "back" or "custom" to the keyDown callback.

The <VirtualKeyboard /> also has a number of functions which can be triggered through refs.

• displayMessage(message) this will create a popup above the keyboard displaying the given a message. The style of the popup can be customized through props.
• clearMessage() this will clear the keyboard message dialog.
• enable() this will enable the keyboard for input.
• disable() this will disable the keyboard.
