React Native "keyboardDismissMode" at FlatList

Is there any possibility to prevent the keyboard from dismissing when scrolling a FlatList?

When using a ScrollView setting the prop "keyboardDismissMode" to "none" is the solution to this problem, but this doesn't work for me at a FlatList...

I use the FlatList inside a self-made component, that is in a Stack-Navigator, while there is a focussed TextInput in its header. I render the FlatList like this:

<View style={{flex: 1}}>
  <FlatList 
    style={{flex: 1}}
    data={this.props.data}
    keyExtractor={(item, index) => item.id}
    renderItem={this.renderItem}
  />
</View>

The renderItem() function:

renderItem = ({item, index}) => (
  <TouchableHighlight
    style={{paddingVertical: 10}}
    onPress={() => {
      this.props.onChooseItem(item);
    }}
  >
    <Text numberOfLines={1} >
      {item.text}
    </Text>
  </TouchableHighlight>
)

You might think about to encapsulate your FlatList in a ScrollView?

Even if this seems to solve the issue, it's NOT a recommended way!

That's because if it force rerendering the whole flatlist, each time you scroll the screen.

You might better try a component like react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view

I've found this article with some alternate Ideas to fix it:
How to use KeyboardAvoidingView with FlatList?

No need of scrollview inside flatlist it will create performance issue.

just add onScrollBeginDrag={Keyboard.dismiss} in flatlist. it will work in android as well iOS while keyboardDismissMode='on-drag' will work only in iOS

The docs at the beginning of the reference section says that FlatList "Inherits ScrollView Props, unless it is nested in another FlatList of same orientation."
So I think you can just do use that keyboardDismissMode without encapsulation in a scrollview.
