To get started install via npm:
npm install react-native-screen-keyboard

Import:
import { VirtualKeyboard } from 'react-native-screen-keyboard';
Then add it to your code:
<VirtualKeyboard
onRef={ref => (this.keyboard = ref)}
keyDown={this.keyDown.bind(this)}
/>
// Callback function which receives the key pressed
keyDown(key) {
// Key pressed
}
The back and custom key will pass a string, either "back"

this will clear the keyboard message dialog.enable()
this will enable the keyboard for input.disable()
this will disable the keyboard.
