Focus Picker component on react native












0















I have a Picker component as a part of a form on react native.

I want to focus the picker when the user click on the submit button on the keyboard just as I can focus the other text inputs, using the component's props:



onSubmitEditing={() => {this.nextTextInput.focus()}}
ref={ref => {this.thisTextInput = ref}}


Is this possible?

What picker method should I use?

It is ok if the picker open the popup on the focus event.



Thanks in advance!

          In the same way you can focus your components like this;



          constructor(props) {
          super(props);
          this.picker = React.createRef();
          this.focusPicker = this.focusPicker.bind(this);
          }

          focusPicker() {
          this.picker.current.focus();
          }

          render() {
          return (
          <View>
          <Picker ref={this.picker}>
          ........
          </Picker>
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={this.focusPicker}/>
          </View>
          );
          }

          • I tried all variants of your code and still getting "_this.picker.current.focus is not a function" error. It says that this.picker.current.focus is undefined. I also tried without the "current". Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'll revise my code and update the question with more details.
