React Native - Scrollview scrolls up with many inputs [iOS] - ios

I have many inputs within ScrollView. Everytime I try to tap the Save button, if the last input focused is out of the screen view (where the Save button is), the screen scrolls automatically up to the input. However, if I scroll down again and press/tap the Save button again, it works. So I have to tap twice the button.
This only happens on iOS devices. On Android works perfectly.
Here is my code:
render() {
const keyboardVerticalOffset = Platform.OS === "ios" ? 40 : 0;
return (
<KeyboardAvoidingView
behavior={Platform.OS === "ios" ? "padding" : ""}
keyboardVerticalOffset={keyboardVerticalOffset}
style={styles.container}
>
<View
style={{
flexDirection: "column",
justifyContent: "space-between",
height: "100%",
backgroundColor: colors.white,
}}
>
<ScrollView
ref={(scroll) => (this.scroll = scroll)}
keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'handled'}
style={{
marginBottom: this.state.marginBottom,
paddingHorizontal: 20,
}}
>
<DateForm
onChangeDate={this.onChangeDate.bind(this)}
date={this.state.measureDate}
birthdate={this.state.baby.Birthdate}
/>
<MeasureForm
onChangeMeasure={this.onChangeValue.bind(this)}
value={this.state.value}
scrollTo={this.scrollTo.bind(this)}
/>
<ResultsForm
IC={this.state.indexes.IC}
IABC={this.state.indexes.IABC}
colorIC={this.state.indexes.colorIC}
colorIABC={this.state.indexes.colorIABC}
/>
<CBButton
title={global.loc.getTranslation("AddMeasureSaveButton")}
style={{
width: "100%",
marginHorizontal: 0,
flexGrow: 1,
marginTop: 20,
marginBottom: 50,
}}
disabled={!this.state.validForm}
onPress={() => this.disableButton()}
/>
</ScrollView>
</View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
});
UPDATE
Here is a minimal reproducible example on snack

KeyboardAvoidingView not working properly in iOS

I'm having trouble getting my KeyboardAvoidingView to register properly on the iOS version of my react-native app. It's nested within another view in my ListFooterComponent of a Flatlist. The behavior is relatively normal on Android, but is not working at all on iOS.
Things I've tried:
Changing the behavior prop (all 3 props didn't end up working)
Changing the keyboardVerticalOffset prop (no amount of offset managed to change anything, it just adds a bunch of padding to the bottom of the screen)
Moving my KeyboardAvoidingView tag to the outermost view in ListFooterComponent. No difference
Adding flex: 1 to inner and outer components
I have seen other posts recommending using other keyboard avoidance libraries, but since this is an Expo Managed project, I don't think these will work for me. Any advice for how to accomplish this using the KeyboardAvoidingView component only?
This is a screenshot of the screen without a keyboard on iOS: this
And this is a screenshot of with a keyboard on iOS: this
And here's the code:
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<FlatList
data={commentData}
style={{ flex: 1 }}
keyboardDismissMode={'on-drag'}
keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'always'}
keyExtractor={item => (item.id)}
renderItem={({ item }) => {
return (
<>
</>
)
}}
ListFooterComponent={() => {
return (
<>
<View style={{ borderColor: "#D6DCE8", marginBottom: 0, borderTopWidth: 2, marginTop: 25, shadowColor: "#000", shadowRadius: 2, shadowOpacity: 0.25, shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 }, elevation: 5 }} />
<View style={{ flex: 1, flexDirection: 'row', paddingTop: 15, paddingBottom: 15 }}>
<TouchableOpacity delayPressIn={20}>
<View style={styles.commentImage}>
<Image source={{ uri: myProfilePicture }} style={styles.image}></Image>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
<KeyboardAvoidingView
behavior={Platform.OS === "ios" ? "padding" : "height"}
keyboardVerticalOffset={Platform.select({ ios: 100, android: 500 })}
style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#ECECEC', borderRadius: 10, flex: 0.95, paddingVertical: 5, marginLeft: 10 }}>
<TextInput style={{
fontSize: 14,
fontWeight: '500',
paddingHorizontal: 10,
marginHorizontal: 10,
paddingVertical: 6,
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
flexWrap: 'wrap'
}}
ref={commentRef}
multiline={true}
blurOnSubmit={true}
numberOfLines={2}
onFocus={() => commentRef.current = true}
onBlur={() => commentRef.current = false}
placeholder="Leave a comment..."
defaultValue={comment}
onChangeText={(newValue) => { comment = newValue }}
onSubmitEditing={() => submitComment()} />
</KeyboardAvoidingView>
</View>
<View style={Platform.OS === 'android' ? { marginBottom: 200 } : { marginBottom: 100 }} />
</>
)
}}
ListHeaderComponent={() => {
return (
<>
</>
)
}}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
For the above layout, use KeyboardAvoidingView above FlatList in your hierarchy, and place the comment box not as the footer, but outside of the list component altogether.
Here's a snack with these changes (OP's code simplified for context): https://snack.expo.dev/#mlisik/thankful-tortilla
A few general notes:
padding behaviour should be what you want
keyboarVerticalOffset is useful if your view is nested inside a navigator (eg. from react-navigation), and navigation bar or tabbar are visible - you should then set the value to the height of those bars
disable it on Android (unless you have disabled keyboard/soft input handling in your manifest).

TouchableOpacity is acting weird inside mapview in React Native

So i have 2 problems with TouchableOpacities inside my MapView:
The text and Icon inside my touchableopacities go outside of the touchableopacity, and in other components that doesn't happen.
One of the touchableopacities does nothing when clicked, it doesn't even change the opacity of the touchableopacity.
I haven't tried anything yet, except for revising my state and how it acts, and affects the elements, but nothing appears to be wrong.
this is my state:
this.state = {
lats: this.tempVars.homelat,
longs: this.tempVars.homelong,
latDs: [0.04],
longDs: [0.05],
numStores: this.tempVars.numStores,
StoreLats: this.tempVars.allLats,
StoreLongs: this.tempVars.allLongs,
StoreNames: this.tempVars.allNames,
createMarker: false,
placeMarker: false,
removeAmarker: false,
}
Helper Methods:
locChooser(){
if(this.state.createMarker){
console.log('Permanent Loc: '+JSON.stringify(this.MapLocs.permanentLoc));
return (
<Image style={{width: 65, height: 100, alignSelf: 'center', marginTop: Math.round(Dimensions.get('window').height/2)-150}} source={require('C:/Users/youse/FetcherApp/app/ping.png')}/>
);
}else if(this.state.placeMarker){
return (<Marker coordinate={this.MapLocs.permanentLoc} onPress={() => {if(this.state.removeAmarker){this.setState({placeMarker: false, removeAmarker: false})}}} image={{uri: 'https://i.pinimg.com/originals/30/98/49/309849c5815761081926477e5e872f1e.png'}}/>);
}else{
return null;
}
}
createHelpers(){
var bigarr = new Array(3);
if(this.state.createMarker){
bigarr[0] =
<View style={{flexDirection: 'column', justifyContent: 'space-between'}}>
<TouchableOpacity style={styles.DrawerOpener} onPress={() => this.props.navigation.dispatch(DrawerActions.openDrawer())}><Icon style={{marginTop: 20, marginLeft: 10}} name='reorder'/></TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity style={[styles.next, {borderColor: '#000000', backgroundColor: '#000000', marginLeft: 10}]} onPress={() => {this.setState({createMarker: false, placeMarker: true})}}><Text style={{color: '#fff', fontSize: 15}}>Select this Location</Text></TouchableOpacity>
</View>;
return bigarr[0];
}else{
bigarr[1] = <View key={0} style={{flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between'}}>
<TouchableOpacity style={styles.DrawerOpener} onPress={() => this.props.navigation.dispatch(DrawerActions.openDrawer())}><Icon style={{marginTop: 20, marginLeft: 10}} name='reorder'/></TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity style={[styles.next, {borderColor: '#000000', backgroundColor: '#000000', marginLeft: 10}]} onPress={() => {this.setState({createMarker: true})}}><Text style={{color: '#fff', fontSize: 15}}>Choose a location to order from</Text></TouchableOpacity>
</View>;
bigarr[2] =
<View key={1}>
<TouchableOpacity style={[styles.next, {borderColor: this.BtnColor(!this.state.placeMarker), backgroundColor: this.BtnColor(!this.state.placeMarker), marginLeft: 10}]} disabled={!this.state.placeMarker} onPress={() => {console.log('Placemarker: '+this.state.placeMarker+', removeMarker: '+this.state.removeAmarker+', createmarker: '+this.state.createMarker);this.setState({removeAmarker: true})}}><Text style={{color: '#fff', fontSize: 15}}>Remove a Marker</Text></TouchableOpacity>
</View>;
return [bigarr[1], bigarr[2]];
}
}
And the render method:
render(){
return (
<MapView style={{flex: 2}} onRegionChange={this.__ChangeRegion} showsUserLocation={true} style={{position: 'absolute', left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0, top: 0}} initialRegion={this.MapLocs.startloc}>
<View>
{this.createHelpers()}
</View>
{this.locChooser()}
{this.AllStores()}
<Marker image={require('C:/Users/youse/FetcherApp/app/home.png')} coordinate={this.MapLocs.homeLoc}/>
{this.displayCars(1)}
</MapView>
)
}
So I figured it out, it appears that components act very abnormally inside a Mapview, however when i nested it inside a View with a width and height of the screen dimensions, and put the components outside of the Mapview they acted normal again and they stayed in their styling and formatting.

FlatList onRefresh doesn't work with SafeAreaView

Pull to refresh causes endless spinner and don't calling onRefresh when app tested on iPhone. On Android and iOS devices with home button everything works as expected.
ReactNative version: 0.58.3
When flex:1 removed from container style, everything works fine but it ruins a markdown of screen. Using ScrollView causes same problem.
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<SafeAreaView style={styles.safeAreaView}>
<Toolbar
leftElement="menu"
centerElement="sometext"
style={{ container: { backgroundColor: '#ffa500' } }}
searchable={{
autoFocus: true,
placeholder: 'Search',
onChangeText: text => this.searchFilterFunction(text),
onSearchCloseRequested: () => this.resetSearchFilter()
}}
onLeftElementPress={() => this.props.navigation.openDrawer()}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
<FlatList
data={this.state.data}
keyExtractor={this.keyExtractor}
ItemSeparatorComponent={this.renderSeparator}
contentContainerStyle={{paddingLeft: '3%', paddingBottom: '4%'}}
refreshing={this.state.refreshing}
onRefresh={this.getData}
renderItem={({item}) =>
<PartnerCardComponent
partnerName={item.name}
discount={item.discount}
url={item.url}
image={item.image}
phone={item.telephones}
address={item.locations}
description={item.description}
navigation={this.props.navigation}
/>
}
/>
<SafeAreaView style={styles.bottomArea}/>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'white'
},
safeAreaView: {
backgroundColor: '#ffa500',
shadowColor: 'gray',
shadowOffset: {height: 1, width: 0},
shadowOpacity: 0.5,
},
bottomArea: {
backgroundColor: 'white',
shadowColor: 'white',
shadowOffset: {height: -5, width: 0},
shadowOpacity: 5,
}
});
Expected: updating FlatList data
Receiving: endless spinner rotation, onRefresh doesn't calling.
I had a similar situation (though my FlatList was inside a SafeAreaView, not surrounded by them). What worked for me was using a, in my opinion, vaguely described RefreshControl component rather than setting the onRefresh and refreshing props directly. Without seeing the rest of your code (and importing RefreshControl from react-native) I've just dropped it in:
...
<FlatList
data={this.state.data}
keyExtractor={this.keyExtractor}
ItemSeparatorComponent={this.renderSeparator}
contentContainerStyle={{paddingLeft: '3%', paddingBottom: '4%'}}
refreshControl={<RefreshControl
refreshing={this.state.refreshing}
onRefresh={this.getData}
/>}
renderItem={({item}) =>
<PartnerCardComponent
partnerName={item.name}
discount={item.discount}
url={item.url}
image={item.image}
phone={item.telephones}
address={item.locations}
description={item.description}
navigation={this.props.navigation}
/>
}
/>

React Native WebView rendering unexpected border at bottom

This is a little tricky to describe. I'm using a react native WebView component to make a mini-browser. It's working ok, but there's a strange black border at the bottom of it which I didn't put in. It appears when scrolling to or beyond the bottom of the webpage.
You can see the thin black line above the "blah" text below. The reason for the blah text and the pink section at the bottom was to rule out a stray borderBottom* style on the WebView or its container.
Another thing to note is that the border briefly disappears when reloading the page, so it seems it's in the WebView's html. But I don't understand how or why, because a) it appears on all websites and b) it doesn't appear in other iOS browsers.
Am I doing something strange here?

Set the backgroundColor of the WebView to transparent and the "border" won't be rendered.

Content hidden behind TabBarIOS with React Native

I'm building an iOS app with React Native and am implementing a TabBarIOS. The content on the tabs seems to flow behind and be obscured by the bar. In xcode I would have just unchecked the "extend edges" boxes but am not sure how to do this with React Native.
Here's an abbreviated version of what I'm trying to do. The <View> from CreateUser flows behind the tab bar. Is there an easy way to make sure content doesn't get obscured by the tab bar?
import React from 'react'
import {
StyleSheet,
Text,
TextInput,
View,
TouchableHighlight,
} from 'react-native'
export default class TabBar extends React.Component {
state = {
selectedTab: 'list'
}
render() {
return (
<TabBarIOS selectedTab={this.state.selectedTab}
unselectedTintColor="#ffffff"
tintColor="#ffe429"
barTintColor="#294163">
<TabBarIOS.Item
title="My List"
systemIcon="bookmarks"
selected={this.state.selectedTab==='list'}
onPress={() => {
this.setState({
selectedTab: 'list',
});
}}
>
<CreateUser />
</TabBarIOS.Item>
</TabBarIOS>
);
}
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
tabContent: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
},
tabText: {
color: 'darkslategrey',
margin: 50,
},
});
export default class CreateUser extends React.Component{
render(){
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>LOG IN</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
)
}
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
flexDirection: "column",
justifyContent: "flex-end",
alignItems: 'center',
},
button: {
backgroundColor: "#ffe429",
borderRadius: 3,
height: 60,
width: 200,
margin: 7,
//flex: 1,
alignItems: "center",
justifyContent: "center",
},
buttonText: {
color: "#294163",
}
})
This was a problem for me when using a NavigatorIOS component that then rendered it's initialRoute component which contained a TabBarIOS component.
If this is the case for your scenario, you can fix it by using a ScrollView:
Add the flex layout style to your NavigatorIOS:
<NavigatorIOS
initialRoute={{
component: MyView,
title: 'My View',
}}
style={{flex: 1}}
/>
Use a ScrollView:
<TabBarIOS>
<TabBarIOS.Item
systemIcon="history"
title="A Tab">
<ScrollView>
<Text>
Hello World
</Text>
</ScrollView>
</TabBarIOS.Item>
</TabBarIOS>
In my case I needed to add flex: 1 to the style props for the top-level View of the screen.
RN Navigation docs
//MyScreen.tsx
export default () => (
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
...
</View>
)
