Possible regression on #29292

[andres-torres-marroquin]

Description

The issue #29292 makes a regression on the keyboardDidHide behavior for the
Android platform, if it happens that you have multiple ReactRootViews on the
same application at once, the keyboardDidHide event happens for every ReactRootView
and the last event data will prevail.

Steps To Reproduce

Having multiple ReactRootViews is specially common using react-native-navigation,
in this example we provide two ReactRootView, one as main canvas (in red) and one on the
top right screen border (in blue), the event keyboardDidHide is triggered twice,
where in the first trigger it sends the "right" value, because it is being triggered
by the main canvas (in red), and on the second trigger it sends the "wrong" value, since
it is being triggered by the top right screen view (in blue).

Comparing this behavior with the iOS counterpart the event is triggered only once
and it sends the right value, for this exact same code.

@fabriziobertoglio1987 could you take a look at this? The issue is referencing a PR you a made a while ago.

@safaiyeh thanks. Yes, I will reproduce the issue and try to find a solution during the weekend. Thanks a lot 🙏 ☮️

Hopefully I'll find an android method to get the correct height as some libraries like react-native-navigation use ReactRootView

Thanks a lot @andres-torres-marroquin
My observations are the following

• my commit was introduced in 0.63.3
• I tested your example on both 0.63.4 and 0.63.2 and can not see any (visual) difference in behaviour in the KeyboardDidHide functionality
• Unluckily I do not know or contribute to react-native-navigation
• Seems to me that the functionality behaves in the same way with/out react-native-navigation

I tested in my repo with react-native 0.63.2. My commit was introduced with 0.63.3

I remain available and I'm sorry if I misunderstood or ignore this issue. I am willing to work during the weekends to fix this regression. Thanks a lot 🙏 Fabrizio

Hi @fabriziobertoglio1987, thanks for you reply.

Unfortunately, both examples don't show keyboardDidHide, they do show keyboardDidShow.

I also emphasize that it happens when you have more than one ReactRootView on Android, on my repo there are two, the red one and the blue one. It won't happen on your repo since there you have only one ReactRootView.

Thanks @andres-torres-marroquin

can you override in the 2nd child ReactRootView?

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/41b6884a1bdfceddb04c43c55714c04578c351ac/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/ReactRootView.java#L755-L785

with

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/98309fa7fce9e7d72416c76a25dc0f759f46c3e8/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/ReactRootView.java#L667-L697

like something (sorry if it not correct java logic):

class ChildRootView extends ReactRootView {
   @override
   private void checkForKeyboardEvents() {
       // copy paste and change the logic
   }
}

[andres-torres-marroquin]

I cannot override that 2nd view, that is handled by react-native-navigation under the hood.

P.S. If I were able to do it, for sure it would work.

[fabOnReact]

I'll send pr to react-native-navigation to override checkForKeyboardEvents in ReactView, if those are the views used for this scenario.

public class ReactView extends ReactRootView implements IReactView, Renderable {
    @Override
    protected void checkForKeyboardEvents() {
        super.checkForKeyboardEvents();
        // copy below logic
    }
 }

onMeasure should look like this

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/98309fa7fce9e7d72416c76a25dc0f759f46c3e8/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/ReactRootView.java#L667-L697

hopefully it will work, otherwise will think about something else. Thanks

@fabriziobertoglio1987 I wonder about the behavior parity between iOS and Android, since on Android you could get multiple calls from keyboard events, if happens that you have more than one ReactRootView, I wonder if there is a way to do it as it is done on iOS, where you get the event triggered just once. (therefore depending of the app, might be a performance hit on Android)

[andres-torres-marroquin]

@fabriziobertoglio1987 this has become suddenly really important, since there is a bug for uploading files in 0.63.2 for iOS, so we either downgrade even further than 0.62.2, or compile the iOS app with 0.63.4 and the Android app with 0.63.2.

How can this issue get more attention?
