React Native KeyboardAvoidingView not working properly

Question

I am trying to use the KeyboardAvoidingView with behavior="padding".

When I am trying to enter any text in TextInput, the TextInput field is not moving up. I have added a small view in the end which is moving up but the the view above it.

I have also with KeyboardAvoidingView height property with offset. It was working few components like 2 TextInputs. But when I add all the components the UI goes insane and behave jumbled up.

Any any idea whats happening over here?

Here the link of tutorial which I have followed.

render() {
    return (
        <View style={styles.backgroundContainer}>
            <Loader
                loading={this.state.isLoading} />
            <KeyboardAvoidingView
                keyboardVerticalOffset={10}
                style={styles.mainContainer}
                behavior='padding' >
                <View style={styles.formContainer}>

Answer 1

Keep in mind is always your top Parent with flex:1 then the child is then you text input container

    <KeyboardAvoidingView style={{  flex: 1 }}
        behavior={Platform.OS === "ios" ? "position" : null} enabled>
          <ScrollView>
            <View>
              <View >
                <Text maxFontSizeMultiplier={1.5} >
                  Sign in to your account{" "}
                </Text>
                 <View
                    behavior="padding"
                    enabled
                  >
                    <TextInput
                      placeholder="Email address"
                      placeholderTextColor={Colors.grey}
                      style={styles.textInput}
                      onChangeText={(e) => setEmail(e.trim())}
                      autoCapitalize="none"
                      returnKeyType={"done"}
                    />
                  </View>
            </View>
          </ScrollView>
    </KeyboardAvoidingView>

 // 2nd Solutions use this package 

npm i react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view --save

import { KeyboardAwareScrollView } from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view'

<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>

Answer 2

The way it worked for me was to use position as behavior and -70 as vertical offset. Any non negative integer was creating a huge unused space when the keyboard pops up.

<KeyboardAvoidingView
    style={styles.container}
    behavior={Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'position' : 'height'}
    keyboardVerticalOffset={Platform.OS === 'ios' ? -70 : 70}
    enabled>
     <ScrollView>
       ...
     </ScrollView>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>

Answer 3

I used KeyboardAvoidingView, it also doesn't work. I found this solution, You can take the base code.

Installation

npm i react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view --save

Usage

import { KeyboardAwareScrollView } from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view'

<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
  <View>
    <TextInput />
  </View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>

You can find it here

Answer 4

<KeyboardAvoidingView
  style={styles.mainContainer}
  behavior="padding"
  enabled
>
  <View>.......................</View>
</KeyboardAvoidingView>

'Enabled or disabled KeyboardAvoidingView' should be add.
