Keyboard automatically shown after open the screen-CodePudding

I am building the app in react native and expo. I want to make the screen that when I go to this screen the keyboard should be already opened without possibility to close it. I mean - the screen should look like in the photo below just after I open this

Is there any way to do this?

CodePudding user response：

You can use the autoFocus prop of the TextInput in order to open the keyboard on mount of the screen (e.g. it is triggered in the useEffect).

const [number, setNumber] = useState()

<View keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always'>
<TextInput
   autoFocus={true}
   onChangeText={x => setNumber(x)}
   value={number}
   blurOnSubmit={false}
/>
</View>

Use blurOnSubmit={false} in order to prevent keyboard dismis on enter and use keyboardShouldPersistTaps='always' on the parent view in order to prevent dismiss if tapping outside the screen.
