[Android] onSubmitEditing is called twice when keyboard is dismissed in android

I want to get current text from TextInput when keyboard is dismissed by pressing search button. In order to get the text, I use onSubmitEditing but it is called twice only if I set returnKeyType to ‘search’. Here is a code snippet.

render() {
return (
<View style={{flex:1, justifyContent:'center'}}>
        <TextInput
          style={{alignSelf:'stretch'}}
          onChangeText={(searchInput) => this.setState({ searchInput }) }
          placeholder='Search'
          returnKeyType='search'
          onFocus={() => console.log('onFocus')}
          onBlur={() => console.log('onBlur')}
          onChange={(event) => console.log('onChange text: ' + event.nativeEvent.text)}
          onEndEditing={(event) => console.log('onEndEditing text: ' + event.nativeEvent.text)}
          onSubmitEditing={(event) => console.log('onSubmitEditing text: ' + event.nativeEvent.text)}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }

Confirming that this occurs on Android 6.0.1, both simulator and device. However it only happens when using certain returnKeyType values. If returnKeyType is omitted, the event only fires once as expected. When it’s set to go, search and a few others, it fires twice. Maybe the core problem lies somewhere deeper down in Android, but if React-Native wants to keep the promises the documentation makes it’ll have to be dealt with.

setting blurOnSubmit={false} worked for me on android
