Google Address Autocomplete doesn't work with KeyboardAwareScrollView

[absenceofnunchi]

I'm currently using KeyboardAwareScrollView with react-native-google-places-autocomplete and only when the auto-complete component is within KeyboardAwareScrollView, the drop-down suggested addresses from Google does not respond to presses. When the aut0-complete component is without KeyboardAwareScrollView, the component works as expected.

The expected behavior is that when the suggested addresses are clicked, the clicked addresses can be used in the onPress property of react-native-google-places-autocomplete, but when the component is placed within KeyboardAwareScrollView, the suggested list disappears as soon as the list is clicked, and no addresses are selected or retrieved.

const CreatePost = ({ navigation }) => {
    const [animation] = useState(new Animated.Value(0))
    useEffect(() => {
        Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillShow', keyboardWillShow)
        Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillHide', keyboardWillHide)
        return () => {
            Keyboard.removeListener()
        }
    }, [])

    const keyboardWillShow = e => {
        Animated.timing(animation, {
            duration: e.duration,
            toValue: 1,
        }).start()
    }

    const keyboardWillHide = e => {
        Animated.timing(animation, {
            duration: e.duration,
            toValue: 0,
        }).start()
    }

    const opacityInterpolate = animation.interpolate({
        inputRange: [0, 1],
        outputRange: [1, 0]
    })

    const photoStyles = {
        opacity: opacityInterpolate
    }

    const submitHandler = async (value, action) => {}

    return (
        <KeyboardAwareScrollView>
            <Form submitHandler={submitHandler} />
        </KeyboardAwareScrollView>

    )
}

I placed react-native-google-places-autocomplete within Formik:

const Form = ({
    submitHandler,
}) => {
const [addressAnimation] = useState(new Animated.Value(0))
const [addressHeight, setAddressHeight] = useState()
const yCoordinate = heightPosition - addressHeight

const onFocusAddressAutoComplete = () => {
    // onFocus Animation
}
const onBlurAddressAutoComplete = () => {
    // onBlur Animation
}

const translateInterpolate = addressAnimation.interpolate({
    inputRange: [0, 1],
    outputRange: [0, !!yCoordinate && yCoordinate],
    extrapolate: "clamp",
})

const addressStyle = {
    transform: [
        {
            translateY: translateInterpolate
        }
    ]
}

const onFocusProps = () => {
    setHideList(true)
    onFocusAddressAutoComplete()
}

const onBlurProps = (param, callback) => {
    callback(param)
    onBlurAddressAutoComplete()
    setHideList(false)
}

return (
    <View style={styles.container} >
        <Formik
            initialValues={initialValues}
            onSubmit={(value, action) => submitHandler(value, action)}
            validationSchema={yup.object().shape({
                address: yup
                    .string()
                    .min(5)
                    .required(),
            })}
        >
            {({
                values,
                handleChange,
                errors,
                setFieldTouched,
                touched,
                isValid,
                handleSubmit,
                resetForm,
                isSubmitting,
                }) => (
                    <View style={styles.form}>
                        <Animated.View
                            style={[styles.fieldset, addressStyle]}
                            onLayout={e => {
                                if (addressHeight !== e.nativeEvent.layout.y) {
                                    setAddressHeight(e.nativeEvent.layout.y)
                                }
                            }}
                        >
                            <Text style={{ marginLeft: 40, marginVertical: 5 }}>

                                Address

                            <View style={styles.autoComplete}>
                                <GooglePlacesInput
                                    onBlur={() => onBlurProps('address', setFieldTouched)}
                                    onChangeText={handleChange('address')}
                                    onFocus={onFocusProps}
                                />
                            </View>
                        </Animated.View>
                        {touched.address && errors.address &&
                            <Animated.Text style={{ fontSize: 10, color: 'red' }}>{errors.address}</Animated.Text>
                        }
                        <TouchableOpacity
                            disabled={!isValid || loading || isSubmitting}

Hi, you can set keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled" for KeyboardAwareScrollView.

If this issue for android, you may set android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan" in AndroidManifest.xml ( activity tag )

@igibliss00 Stuck with the same Issue
I tried everything related to keyboardShouldPersistTaps ((see this issue comment))
