Identify Return Key action in React Native
I have a TextInput
which I have enabled multiline
as true. Thing is the Keyboard won't hide after Return is pressed. It goes to a new line. So I was hoping to use react-native-dismiss-keyboard. To exploit this I need to identify the Return key action. How to do this?
<TextInput
style={styles.additionalTextInput}
multiline={true}
autoCapitalize="sentences"
autoCorrect={true}
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({text})}
keyboardType="default"
returnKeyType="done"
onKeyPress={(keyPress) => console.log(keyPress)}
placeholder="Enter text here..."
/>
Solution 1:
What I used is onSubmitEditing
props. e.g.
<TextInput style={[styles.textInput]}
placeholder='搜索'
placeholderTextColor='#bbb'
onChange={(event) => {
this.searchChange(event.nativeEvent.text)
}}
returnKeyType='search'
autoFocus={true}
value={ this.props.searchName }
selectionColor={colors.orangeColor}
onSubmitEditing={this.searchSubmit}
clearButtonMode="while-editing"
/>
Solution 2:
Okay, found the solution.
<TextInput
style={styles.additionalTextInput}
multiline={true}
autoCapitalize="sentences"
autoCorrect={true}
onChangeText={(orderInstructions) => this.setState({orderInstructions})}
keyboardType="default"
returnKeyType="done"
onKeyPress={this.handleKeyDown}
placeholder="Enter text here..."
/>
handleKeyDown: function(e) {
if(e.nativeEvent.key == "Enter"){
dismissKeyboard();
}
},
The method dismissKeyboard is from react-native-dismiss-keyboard.
This works perfectly for me.
