Is it possible to initially show a custom keyboard without having to toggle? #46

got the same question, would be great to show a custom keyboard as soon as it focusses on a text element

@deantes @gerbyzation Hi did you found solution I just kept the custom keyboard in onFocus method. Its Working fine for first time but second time when click on textinputs it shows the soft keyboard first and then custom keyboard.

How to solve this I need this functionality urgently

gerbyzation commented 5 years ago

@swaroopa94 On Android it seems to work OK to open it straight away, so we're using a custom keyboard on android and native one on iOS (else it would still flash the native keyboard first).

swaroopa94 commented 5 years ago

@gerbyzation Yes there is any other solution for displaying custom keyboard without getting the soft keyboard at flash

@swaroopa94 If I'd know I'd be using it instead of falling back on native keyboard. if you're desparate you could always build a separate keyboard component avoiding the build-in keyboard module (something like http://johncblandii.com/2017/05/react-native-pin-entry-view-with-a-custom-keyboard.html)

@gerbyzation Yes I referred this but if I do like this the cursor in the textInput does not appear and user cannot modify the text in it.
