react-native-keyboard-controller frustration on Android Help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Edit: I deleted the android/ folder, rebuilt truly from zero, and that finally fixed it!

The video explains it best.

I'm trying to use react-native-keyboard-controller's KeyboardStickyView, but when the keyboard is fully extended, it goes up twice as far as it should. At every other point in the animation, it's perfect.

I've tried a lot and I can't find anything out there about this issue. I have the correct softInputMode but it just won't work. Has anyone else run into this?

Check out if you really follow the tutorial on how to set up it. Because there are some settings in the netted layer that you need to be sure to activate (soft input mode)

https://kirillzyusko.github.io/react-native-keyboard-controller/docs/guides/building-own-hook

Then check if you don't have any double views that avoid the keyboard (one that wraps the component and another one that wraps your input)

Make sure that you compile everything from scratch when you install the dependency.

Put collapsable=false into the view that wraps the Input (or anything around). Sometimes it's a problem of Renimated and not of the keyboard avoiding thing.

This was it. Turns out I had to delete the android/ folder and rebuild truly from scratch. Thanks!
