Keyboard Aware Scroll View
A component that allows solving the common problem of views that need to move out of the way of the virtual keyboard. It handles keyboard appearance and automatically scrolls to the focused Text Input component. With additional configuration, it will automatically adjust the position of the input fields on the screen for a better fit for a seamless user experience.
Adding a Keyboard Aware Scroll View
- Select the Keyboard Aware Scroll View component from the Components drawer. You can open the list of components by clicking the + button next to Components
- Add it as the top-level component on your screen. In other words, all other components that represent the content of the screen (such as Text Inputs and buttons) are wrapped inside it
For example, a Signup screen has three input fields and two buttons. These are the contents of the screen that need to be wrapped inside the Keyboard Aware Scroll View in the Components tree.

Once you've wrapped all other components:
- Select the Keyboard Aware Scroll View from the components tree
- Go to the Configs tab (second tab) in the Properties Panel
- Enable Automatic Scroll property. If you are building your application for Android, also Enable on Android property
- You can also use the Extra Scroll Height property to provide an offset between the input field and the keyboard on the device
