useKeyboardController

useKeyboardController is a hook which gives an access to the state of the react-native-keyboard-controller library. It return two values:

• enabled - boolean value which indicates whether the library is enabled in app;
• setEnabled - function that changes state of enabled property.

This hook can be handy in situations when your app is relying on default window resizing behavior (adjustResize, for example) on Android. Once the module is enabled - it moves the app in edge-to-edge and with adjustResize mode it prevents a window from being resized (works as iOS). However if you need default Android adjustResize behavior - you can disable this module where needed and make a gradual integration of this library into your application.

Use it only when you really need it

Nonetheless that you can fallback to default Android behavior I still strongly recommend you not to go with this approach just because you'll loose all attractiveness of smooth animated keyboard transitions and your app will not look as great as it possibly can.

Consider to use KeyboardAvoidingView which also resize the window, but does it with beautiful animated transitions that makes your interactions with app smooth and pleasant.

Example

import { useKeyboardController } from "react-native-keyboard-controller";

const { enabled, setEnabled } = useKeyboardController();

setEnabled(false);

Also have a look on example app for more comprehensive usage.

Using with class component

import {
  KeyboardController,
  KeyboardContext,
  AndroidSoftInputModes,
} from "react-native-keyboard-controller";

class KeyboardAnimation extends React.PureComponent {
  // 1. use context value
  static contextType = KeyboardContext;

  componentDidMount() {
    // 2. get an access to `enabled` and `setEnabled` props
    const { enabled, setEnabled } = this.context;

    // 3. disable a module on demand in your app
    setEnabled(false);
  }
