Interactive Keyboard dismissing

[kirillzyusko]

It would be good to be able to close keyboard in interactive mode.

iOS already supports it via keyboardDismissMode="interactive" prop on ScrollView (though current implementation of this library is not updating animated values returned from the hook). On Android it can be implemented through WindowInsetsAnimationController.

Something similar was already implemented on iOS: https://github.com/wix/react-native-ui-lib/tree/master/lib/ios/reactnativeuilib/keyboardtrackingview

Hello @kirillzyusko, have you made any progress on that subject ?

I'm looking for a way to do an interactive keyboard dismiss for a chat app, and your library looks appealing, but useKeyboardHandler does not follow the interactive dismiss on ios for now.

Hi @arnaud9145
I'm currently working on it and experimenting with the API.
You can check the progress here: main...feature/interactive-keyboard-android
Android implementation is still buggy and not ready for production (it has flicks/jumps and other unpleasant UI things). iOS implementation is temporarily postponed, because I want to roll out Android first and stabilize API (after that I'll add iOS implementation).
