Expo Android Keyboard Fix

An Expo Config Plugin that fixes an issue with KeyboardAvoidingView on Android 15 (SDK 35), where the keyboard covers input fields in Expo/React Native apps.

🚨 Why do I need this plugin?

Starting from Android 15 (API 35), the existing adjustResize behavior no longer automatically resizes the app window when the keyboard appears. As a result, React Native's KeyboardAvoidingView may fail to keep inputs visible, causing the keyboard to overlay text fields.

This plugin resolves the issue by automatically injecting the necessary native Android code into your Expo app.

📦 Installation

npm install expo-android-keyboard-fix
# or
yarn add expo-android-keyboard-fix

🛠️ Usage

Add the plugin to your app.json or app.config.js:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      "expo-android-keyboard-fix"
    ]
  }
}

By default, the fix is applied on Android 15 (SDK 35) and above.

If you need to apply the same IME inset handling on older Android versions, use the applyFromSdk option:

{
  "expo": {
    "plugins": [
      [
        "expo-android-keyboard-fix",
        {
          "applyFromSdk": 30
        }
      ]
    ]
  }
}

For example, applyFromSdk: 30 applies the fix from Android 11 and above. Keep the default value unless your app has keyboard overlap issues on older Android versions.

Then rebuild your Expo app:

npx expo prebuild --clean
# or using EAS Build
eas build -p android
