It is a component to solve the common problem of views that need to move out of the way of the virtual keyboard. It can automatically adjust either its height, position, or bottom padding based on the keyboard height.

Example

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import { View, KeyboardAvoidingView, TextInput, StyleSheet, Text, Platform, TouchableWithoutFeedback, Button, Keyboard } from 'react-native';

const KeyboardAvoidingComponent = () => {

return (

<KeyboardAvoidingView

behavior={Platform.OS == "ios" ? "padding" : "height"}

style={styles.container}

>

<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={Keyboard.dismiss}>

<View style={styles.inner}>

<Text style={styles.header}>Header</Text>

<TextInput placeholder="Username" style={styles.textInput} />

<View style={styles.btnContainer}>

<Button title="Submit" onPress={() => null} />

</View>

</View>

</TouchableWithoutFeedback>

</KeyboardAvoidingView>

);

};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

container: {

flex: 1

},

inner: {

padding: 24,

flex: 1,

justifyContent: "space-around"

},

header: {

fontSize: 36,

marginBottom: 48

},

textInput: {

height: 40,

borderColor: "#000000",

borderBottomWidth: 1,

marginBottom: 36

},

btnContainer: {

backgroundColor: "white",

marginTop: 12

}

});

export default KeyboardAvoidingComponent;
