react-native-google-places-autocomplete: Not working with KeyboardAwareScrollView

I’m currently using KeyboardAwareScrollView with react-native-google-places-autocomplete and only when the auto-complete component is within KeyboardAwareScrollView, the drop-down suggested addresses from Google does not respond to presses. When the aut0-complete component is without KeyboardAwareScrollView, the component works as expected.

The expected behavior is that when the suggested addresses are clicked, the clicked addresses can be used in the onPress property of react-native-google-places-autocomplete, but when the component is placed within KeyboardAwareScrollView, the suggested list disappears as soon as the list is clicked, and no addresses are selected or retrieved.

const CreatePost = ({ navigation }) => {
    const [animation] = useState(new Animated.Value(0))
    useEffect(() => {
        Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillShow', keyboardWillShow)
        Keyboard.addListener('keyboardWillHide', keyboardWillHide)
        return () => {
            Keyboard.removeListener()
        }
    }, [])

    const keyboardWillShow = e => {
        Animated.timing(animation, {
            duration: e.duration,
            toValue: 1,
        }).start()
    }

    const keyboardWillHide = e => {
        Animated.timing(animation, {
            duration: e.duration,
            toValue: 0,
        }).start()
    }

    const opacityInterpolate = animation.interpolate({
        inputRange: [0, 1],
        outputRange: [1, 0]
    })

    const photoStyles = {
        opacity: opacityInterpolate
    }

    const submitHandler = async (value, action) => {}

    return (
        <KeyboardAwareScrollView>
            <Form submitHandler={submitHandler} />
        </KeyboardAwareScrollView>

    )
}

I placed react-native-google-places-autocomplete within Formik:

const Form = ({
    submitHandler,
}) => {
const [addressAnimation] = useState(new Animated.Value(0))
const [addressHeight, setAddressHeight] = useState()
const yCoordinate = heightPosition - addressHeight

const onFocusAddressAutoComplete = () => {
    // onFocus Animation
}
const onBlurAddressAutoComplete = () => {
    // onBlur Animation
}

const translateInterpolate = addressAnimation.interpolate({
    inputRange: [0, 1],
    outputRange: [0, !!yCoordinate && yCoordinate],
    extrapolate: "clamp",
})

const addressStyle = {
    transform: [
        {
            translateY: translateInterpolate
        }
    ]
}

const onFocusProps = () => {
    setHideList(true)
    onFocusAddressAutoComplete()
}

const onBlurProps = (param, callback) => {
    callback(param)
    onBlurAddressAutoComplete()
    setHideList(false)
}

return (
    <View style={styles.container} >
        <Formik
            initialValues={initialValues}
            onSubmit={(value, action) => submitHandler(value, action)}
            validationSchema={yup.object().shape({
                address: yup
                    .string()

                    .required(),
            })}
        >
            {({

                errors,
                setFieldTouched,
                touched,

                handleSubmit,
                resetForm,

                            onLayout={e => {
                                if (addressHeight !== e.nativeEvent.layout.y) {
                                    setAddressHeight(e.nativeEvent.layout.y)
                                }
                            }}

                                    onChangeText={handleChange('address')}
                                    onFocus={onFocusProps}
                                />

                )}
        </Formik>

@igibliss00 Have you tried to add keyboardShouldPersistTaps in all ancestor ScrollView?

<ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'handled'}>
     <ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'handled'}>
            <GooglePlacesAutocomplete ... >

I still see the warning when I click the suggested places, and I have added keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'handled'} to the <ScrollView/>

I have tried every option available here and it’s not working for me.

Sir you have to also add keyboardShouldPersistTaps in all direct scrollview parent and non direct scrollview parents also in the other files if exist.

I just did and everything is still the same. Still showing the VisualizedList error

It’s still not working on android. I too have added keyboardShouldPersistTaps={'handled'} on the parent <ScrollView> component.

For anyone who is having problems with this, I disabled the scroll inside GooglePlacesAutocomplete <ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled" contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1 }}> <GooglePlacesAutocomplete ref={ref} filterReverseGeocodingByTypes={['locality']} fetchDetails={true} debounce={500} placeholder='Search' disableScroll={true}

As per this issue (which does a good job explaining the reason) https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31697

When you do that, the ScrollView can do its job. Hope this helps anyone having issues with this in 2023!

did you find any solution ?

customized GooglePlaceAutoComplete.js replace touchable highlight with TouchableOpacity and works fine for me

<ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={‘handled’}> <ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={‘handled’}> <GooglePlacesAutocomplete … >

        not Working for me now

SAME. Not works for me. huhuhu

Lmao came back but my own solution doesn’t even work for me anymore XD @bell-steven any other suggestions or workarounds?

@bell-steven keyboardShouldPersistTaps not working for me. I’m still getting the same error.

@zainsolat God bless you man! you saved my day!

<ScrollView
      keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
      contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1 }}
    >
      <GooglePlacesAutocomplete
        GooglePlacesSearchQuery={{ fields: "geometry" }}
        disableScroll={true}
        placeholder="Search"
        fetchDetails={true}
        onPress={(data, details = null) => {
          console.log('details', details.geometry.viewport);
        }}
        query={{
          key: your_key,
          language: "en",
        }}
      />
    </ScrollView>

This is working for me

<ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={‘handled’}> <ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps={‘handled’}> <GooglePlacesAutocomplete … >

        not Working for me now

<ScrollView keyboardShouldPersistTaps=“handled” contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1 }}> <GooglePlacesAutocomplete … >

My issue resolve after Place Sim Card in Testing Device

Para mim funionou adiionar a propriedade keepResultsAfterBlur para manter a lista aberta e poder selecionar

yes because of this module is using scroll view into flatlist. so i found a solution to creating a new custom autocomplete list 😄

How did you create it?
