RN : Hide keyboard permanently

Question

There is a build-in function for hide keyboard in react-native call Keyboard.dismiss(), but what I wish is the native keyboard will disable during the app running.

**My app no have any TextInput, I using react-native-webview for entire layout

What I have try is add code below to AndroidManifest.xml

<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
  android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"  />

Does this answer your question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29685421/hide-keyboard-in-react-native — Shoaib Kakal, Jul 20 '20 at 04:26
@ShoaibK. nope, my question have mention i no using any RN build-in TextInput, so those answer doesn't work — FeelRightz, Jul 20 '20 at 04:28
@FeelRightz use "android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" " instead of android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" — pratik vekariya, Jul 20 '20 at 04:33

Try with this method....

   public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
    if (view == null) {
        view = new View(activity);
    }
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

put above method in common class like CommonUtils call method in your activity's onCreate method

CommonUtils.hideSoftKeyboard(your_activity.this)

Hope this will work for you(this working perfectly for me).

where is CommonUtils ? i not android native developer, not understand where to put, can you explain how to add into react-native android – FeelRightz Jul 20 '20 at 10:56
@FeelRightz its just for example, you can add this method in your activity too. Just copy it from here and paste in your activity – pratik vekariya Jul 20 '20 at 11:30
@FeelRightz add this method at end of your activity. before last "}" . Check my edited answer, i have added image. if you see red text as per image, click on that text, it will ask for import and do import, your issue will be fix. – pratik vekariya Jul 20 '20 at 11:52
i using visual studio code for develop the app, can you share with me what namespace have been import ? – FeelRightz Jul 20 '20 at 12:58
@FeelRightz for visual studio i don't know, in android imports are as follows (1).import android.view.View; (2). import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager; – pratik vekariya Jul 21 '20 at 03:36
