Prevent Keyboard Dismiss in React Native Modals

If you're developing a React Native application, you may encounter a scenario where the keyboard dismisses unintentionally when interacting with components inside a modal. This can be frustrating, especially when you want to keep the keyboard open while selecting tags or options. In this guide, we'll address how to avoid this issue and provide a solution that ensures a smooth user experience.

The Problem

Imagine you have a text input at the bottom of your screen that expands into a section with pre-defined tags when activated. When the keyboard opens, you're faced with an unwanted issue: tapping on these tags dismisses the keyboard. This occurs even when you need to work with the suggestions without closing the keyboard. The situation is particularly challenging in a modal wrapped by SafeAreaView with no parent scrollable components like ScrollViews or FlatLists to manage the keyboard interactions.

Understanding Key Components

To find a solution, it’s important to understand the components involved:

TextInput: The input field where users type.

Modal: A component that presents content above an enclosing view, often requiring user interaction.

ScrollView: A component that allows for scrolling through items within it, useful to manage views when the keyboard opens.

KeyboardAvoidingView: This component automatically adjusts its dimensions based on the keyboard state.

Solution Breakdown

To prevent the keyboard from dismissing when tapping on a tag, applying the keyboardShouldPersistTaps and keyboardDismissMode properties correctly is essential. Here's how to implement the solution:

1. Set Up Your Components

Ensure that your Swiper component (or any parent container) is set up to manage keyboard interactions properly:

3. Ensure Correct Props are Passed Down

The following properties are crucial:

keyboardShouldPersistTaps: Set this to "always" to allow taps on the tags to maintain the keyboard open state.

keyboardDismissMode: The "on-drag" value should be used for preventing dismissal when interacting with tags.

4. Final Adjustments

Double-check that your FlatList inside the ScrollView also implements these required props:

Conclusion

By implementing the described changes and ensuring you set the keyboardShouldPersistTaps and keyboardDismissMode properly on the parent containers, you can prevent the keyboard from dismissing unexpectedly while interacting with tags in your React Native modal. This leads to a more intuitive and user-friendly interface, enhancing the overall experience of your application.

By understanding the intricacies of these components and their interactions, you'll be well on your way to creating seamless modal experiences in your React Native applications. If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out for guidance!
