Android Keyboard events not working?

[niftylettuce]

Hey, had this issue last night I think... Here was my note:

Why is this still commented as is? Is it not working on RN v0.18+? It doesn't seem to work for me. https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-gifted-messenger/blob/master/GiftedMessenger.js#L441-L444

Oh, it's the onKeyboardWillHide and onKeyboardWillShow, those two events don't trigger on Android RN v0.18+. This is because it's now built in (see documentation update note here) https://github.com/johanneslumpe/react-native-keyboardevents#react-native-keyboardevents. Maybe we should be using this instead?

We can use onKeyboardDidShow and onKeyboardDidHide instead of onKeyboardWillShow and onKeyboardWillHide in Android isn't it?

@FaridSafi I basically took out all of the keyboard events in my package, and then used the the ref as this._GiftedMessenger to handle events. However I still have a weird state issue, where messages get hidden if I change view, like they don't get set in state.

fixed by using onKeyboardDidShow and onKeyboardDidHide instead of onKeyboardWillShow and onKeyboardWillHide in Android
