I can't dismiss my keyboard in my react native app after an alert

Question

I'm currently trying to close the keyboard programmatically: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GfY7K.jpg

But it does not work. It actually closes, then reopens when the screen changes, whereas there is no input on the second screen.

I already tried to put Keyboard.dismiss() just before changing the screen and in the componentDidMount() of the second screen, without success.

This happens everytime you have an open Alert while trying to hide the Keyboard. It's quite hacky but you can try to wrap your Alert in a timeout.

setTimeout(() => {
   //... open your alert here
}, 50)
