as title description.

related issue: react/react-native#16826

Reproduce by code example:

// FromScreen.js: append `multiline={true}` to the last one of textinput
  ...
     <FormField index={4} style={styles.input}>
            {props => (
              <View style={styles.inputContainer}>
                <TextInput
                  ref={props.focusableRef}
                  onSubmitEditing={props.onSubmitEditing}
                  blurOnSubmit={props.blurOnSubmit}
                  multiline={true} <---- this line
                  placeholder="Input 5"
                />
              </View>
            )}
       </FormField>
  ...

Result:

The last textInput is focused, but it's behind keyboard.

I just tested and it works fine even for multiline TextInput. Have you set autoScrollToFocusedInput to true?

Meanwhile I make the example to reflect you should set autoScrollToFocusedInput to true.

<Form autoScrollToFocusedInput={true}>
  <FormField index={0} />
  <FormField index={1} />
</Form>

@cychiuae Any reason why we did not set autoScrollToFocusedInput to true by default?

Found on android it can work without this property, but it would do focus animation twice if it were enabled. So it's better to turn off if it's running on android platform.

Thanks for reporting the android issue.

@cychiuae Can you have a look when you have time?

It seems it will have scrolling twice even disable the option. Btw, you will lose ability to make the next input scroll to visible window automatically if you disable the option

It seems that it is not easy to prevent the scroll view from auto scrolling to just focused view https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6176391/stop-scrollview-from-auto-scrolling-to-an-edittext

There are many answers. Some say setting two focus related properties while some say change windowSoftInputMode.
