I tested with m1 mac simulator,build in release mode, and the layout took about ~500-800 milliseconds to resize after keyboard showed

i see the log of metro and I see the screen re-render 4 times when keyboard show, i think better we need to use wix keyboard input

@hotaryuzaki unfortunately, I also did not find solutions to this problem, so I had to abandon the use of this library, but it did not turn out to be a big problem, since all the components were already custom (text, images, time, send/read tick marks, etc.). So I just use FlatList and it works fine

Yes maybe it is better to create the UI by ourselves.

I tried tricky fix with keyboard event but sadly android didn't have keyboardWillShow and keyboardWillHide. I think we can use keyboardWillHide to change windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan. But for temporary solution I create animation using scheduleLayoutAnimation in keyboardDidHide, it feels more convenient.

For more investigation, what I found this problem just occurred in Android 10 and below. Maybe it's android limitation I create temporary solution only for that versions.

And maybe next week I will create touch/scroll event outside the keyboard, for this I think I can set windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan then hide the keyboard by using keyboard.dismiss(). (I made backhandler event to do this trick but the event didn't called when keyboard is open)
