Android Support

First, Android natively has this feature, you can easily enable it by setting windowSoftInputMode in AndroidManifest.xml. Check here.

But if you want to use feature like extraHeight, you need to enable Android Support with the following steps:

• Make sure you are using react-native 0.46 or above.
• Set windowSoftInputMode to adjustPan in AndroidManifest.xml.
• Set enableOnAndroid property to true.

Android Support is not perfect, here is the supported list:

Prop	Android Support
viewIsInsideTabBar	Yes
resetScrollToCoords	Yes
enableAutomaticScroll	Yes
extraHeight	Yes
extraScrollHeight	Yes
enableResetScrollToCoords	Yes
