Menu does not avoid intersecting keyboard on Android
See original GitHub issueCurrent behaviour
When a Menu is created near the bottom of the app, while the keyboard is expanded, the Menu opens behind the keyboard.
Expected behaviour
I expect the menu to open upwards instead.
Code sample
I don’t have one that’s easy to run, unfortunately 😦
Screenshots (if applicable)

What have you tried
I looked at the documented props, and did not find any that controlled the direction that the Menu attempts to open in.

I think there is a need to go through the
Menulayout’s calculation and take into account the height of the keyboard when it is opened.Any solution to this issue?
