Keyboard Avoiding View
A View that adjusts itself to remain visible when the keyboard is open
This component will automatically adjust its height, position, or bottom padding based on the keyboard height to remain visible while the virtual keyboard is displayed.
How to use
- Select the Keyboard Avoiding View component from the Components drawer. You can open the list of components by clicking the
+button next to Components. - Add any components that you want to avoid being hidden by the virtual keyboard inside the Keyboard Avoiding View.
For example, a Login screen has two Text Input components and a Button. We want to make sure when one of the inputs are focused by the user that they aren't covered by the keyboard so we can wrap them inside the Keyboard Avoiding View in the Components tree.
Here is an example of it working on iOS.
Style Properties
Style properties allow you to customize the look and feel of the component. Combinations of styles applied to components can be saved as Stylesheets to easily reuse styles throughout your app. Styles can also be set dynamically using Variables. To learn more about all the different styling properties and how they work, take a look at Intro to Styling.
