I am using an Input component with "decimal" keyboard. Unfortunately this keyboard has no button to dismiss itself. My workaround is to show an icon on the right side with an appropriate action on it. However, this is of poor usability.
What is the best way to tackle this?
<Input
ref={purchasePriceInput}
placeholder="Enter purchase price"
returnKeyType={'next'}
keyboardType = 'decimal-pad'
onChangeText={value => setPurchasePrice(value)}
label={'Purchase Price'}
labelStyle={styles.label}
rightIcon={<Icon
name='check'
type='font-awesome-5'
color='gray'
onPress={()=>{purchasePriceInput.current.blur()}} //<-- my workaround
/>}
>
{purchasePrice.toLocaleString()}
</Input>
You only need to change returnKeyType="done"
returnKeyType determines how the return key should look.
The following values work across platforms:
done
go
next
search
send
These values are just appearance.
So in your case, next
works but it looks like a right arrow.
