[Question / Feature Request] keyboardShouldPersistTaps to prevent need for double tapping

I’ve implemented this like your example but the main issue I am having is that it takes two taps to select the list item. The first tap dismisses the keyboard and then the second will select the row- which should happen on the first tap.

This sounds similar to this so I’m wondering if you could provide some insight on if it’s from the same issue, if everyone on this library is affected, and if it can be fixed. I tried adding the prop keyboardShouldPersistTaps={true} but it had no effect.

Thanks!

I was able to get persistent taps working. I have the auto complete component as a child of ScrollView

  <ScrollView
    keyboardShouldPersistTaps={"always"}
  >
    <GooglePlacesAutocomplete />
  </ScrollView>

I believe keyboardShouldPersistTaps={true} is deprecated. Hope this helps!

Make sure that any parent ScrollViews (or FlatList, etc.) of your GooglePlacesAutocomplete component have the prop keyboardShouldPersistTaps={‘always’}set. This resolved the problem for me. Good luck!
