Wish to auto open dropdown if on typing or input text focusing

[izzuddinraffar]

Hi, thanks for making this amazing stuff. Actually i'm working on react-native-paper and i'm like using react-native-paper-autocomplete in my project.

So just wish to auto open dropdown if on typing or input text focusing as my picture below.

Thanks!

+1, this library is basically unusable (from users perspective) because it just not behave correctly.

• if i click on the input i expect the list to appear
• i would appreciate more flexibility in customizing behavior
• list sometimes flashing over other components when opened

Agree! This is bad!

I was also thinking about opening a bottom sheet or something like that on smaller devices

But I'm a little short on time a.t.m. I'm hoping to have some time in the future to improve this. I'm building a new app where I want to use the autocomplete on the web version so I can also look if I can improve some native stuff while I'm at it

Hi @RichardLindhout,

Any news about this enhancement? Did you used it finally for the app you mentioned or did you end up using something else?

I'm considering using the component for a web/iOS app.
