Keyboard height is wrong on some android devices (causing the keyboard to show over text inputs) #26461
Description
When the keyboard is show, the 'keyboardDidShow' event is fired.
We listen to it like this:
Keyboard.addListener('keyboardDidShow', this.handleKeyboardDidShow)
When it's fired, we start an Animated.Value that goes from 0 to -keyboardHeight to move the main view up (there are better ways to handle it, but that's not the point, I'm just trying to keep it simple here)
handleKeyboardDidShow = (event) => {
Animated.timing(
this.state.moveUpValue,
{
toValue: -event.endCoordinates.height,
duration: 200,
easing: Easing.linear
}
).start();
}
The main view is like:
<Animated.View style={{ transform: [{ translateY: this.state.moveUpValue }] }}>
</Animated.View>
It works on all iOS devices and it works on most Android devices, but on some Android devices, the event.endCoordinates.height value is wrong, causing the text input to be partially hidden.

How are we supposed to deal with that?
