react-native-keyboard-space

What is this?

• On iOS, the software keyboard covers the screen by default.
• This is not desirable if there are TextInput near the bottom of the screen - they would be covered by the keyboard and the user cannot see what they are typing.
• To get around this problem, place a <KeyboardSpace /> at the bottom of the screen, after your TextInput. The keyboard spacer has size 0 and when the keyboard is shown it will grow to the same size as the keyboard, shifting all views above it and therefore making them visible.

How is this different from KeyboardAvoidingView?

• The KeyboardAvoidingView doesn't work when used together with a ScrollView or ListView.

  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
  TextInput,

class MyExample extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <ScrollView>
          {[...Array(50)].map((_, index) => (
            <Text key={index}>
              {index} This is ScrollView
            </Text>
          ))}
        </ScrollView>
        <TextInput style={styles.textInput}/>
        <KeyboardSpace />
      </View>
    );
  }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    marginTop: 20,

  textInput: {

    backgroundColor: 'gray',
