focus about react-native-gifted-chat

Hello @siwymilek, which react-native version ?

[FaridSafi]

if you are talking about the keyboard return button, you need to use submitOnReturn={true}

[siwymilek]

I'm sorry i didn't explain my problem well enough. After sending message focus is lost and text input disappears, so I can't write next message. Look at my screen and note that there is no text input :/ Any clue?

[FaridSafi]

Normally it should work because of keyboardShouldPersistTaps={true} of the listView

Can you try to add at the begining of the onSend method please:
this.refs.textInput.focus();

[siwymilek]

This solving my problem partially. Still can't hide and open again keyboard.

[FaridSafi]

which RN version are you using ?

[siwymilek]

0.1.7

[FaridSafi]

Are you embedding the component inside a ScrollView ? If yes you can try to embed it inside a View instead

[siwymilek]

Nope, I embedded component inside TabBarIOS.Item and then inside View.

[siwymilek]

Ok I got it. Navigation Bar moves down Messenger and then a part of component was hidden.

Great, I close this issue then. Thank you
