Searchbar clear press does not trigger onChangeText

Current behaviour

Create a Searchbar component with an onChangeText prop. Enter text. Use clear button to clear the text. onChangeText not called with empty value - so no way to know it occured.

Expected behaviour

This should trigger onChangeText with an empty string ''. Alternatively, provide onClearText and we’ll do it ourselves.

Code sample

        <Searchbar
          style={styles.searchBar}
          placeholder="Search"
          value={query}
          onChangeText={(q) => setQuery(q)} />

Your Environment

software	version

react-native	0.63

I am aware I am on an outdated version of this library. Will be updating later but currently in the middle of a workaround:

        <Searchbar
          style={styles.searchBar}
          placeholder="Search"
          value={query}
          onChangeText={(q) => setQuery(q)}
          clearIcon={(props) => (
            <Icon name="close" onPress={handleSearchClear} {...props} />
          )}
        />

For anyone still struggling with this issue,

make sure you use the Searchbar prop: onChangeText. Do not use onChange.

onChangeText does indeed get called with an empty string when the clear button is pressed.
