How add custom value to textInput when press on cell

It seems that the getDefaultValue only runs once and it does not help me when I put my custom state on that property.

I’m test too with textInputProps sending onChangeText function, but it’s no good, because when the _onPress is executed it is forced to take the value of rowData.description and I lose control over that state. code here.

I would like to know if there is a way to achieve this and if it is not possible, then I would appreciate it being implemented for an upcoming version

I found the solution:

You can use setAddressText(“…”).

On your autocomplete component get a reference to the object: <GooglePlacesAutocomplete ref={(instance) => { this.locationRef = instance }} …/>

and then: this.locationRef.setAddressText(“New York, NY”) https://github.com/FaridSafi/react-native-google-places-autocomplete/issues/158#issuecomment-372740996
