Can't focus on Android

[ethanyuwang]

I initialized a fresh react native project ("react-native": "0.55.4",) and copied the example code. However on Android focusTitle and focusContent both don't work

---------------------------Update--------------------------------

focusContent would not work initially. However, after I actually tap the editor to focus and then programmatically blur it, focusContent would work as expected.

if your targetSDKVersion is greater than 24, seems like it wont work

Doesnt work for me even with targetSDKVersion = 24

[ethanyuwang]

@rasselll I have targetSdkVersion = 22 and it doesn't work

Any Updates?

Just a quick update I noticed that because of my other styles this was not working properly. I made changes to them and it worked. Hint: Check your styling.

@saurabhabh what styling changes did you make?

https://github.com/wix/react-native-zss-rich-text-editor/issues/138#issuecomment-441521534 - @ethanyuwang Check this comment. Check your flex direction. It only works for me if the parent container's flex direction is set to column.

Here is our solution: @ethanyuwang

• Change this in your package.json "react-native-zss-rich-text-editor": "github:honeybook/react-native-zss-rich-text-editor.git#master",
• Create a native module that does this
• Add this property to the RTE
• Call these 2 on Editor Initialisation

@eladgel Can I ask you what changes you made in your fork?

[eladgel]

@ethanyuwang just go to the fork and view the changed files

@eladgel Thanks a lot I have made mine working, but it seems like you only need to change WebViewBridgeManager.java in react-native-webview-bridge though? This is what I did:

1. Add new prop requestFocus in react-native-webview-bridge:

   

2. Add the prop in where you render RichTextEditor as you mentioned:

@eladgel I have added the RNKeyboard module from your reply but I found having it or not, focusing works properly on Android with just the two steps in my previous post.
