I have a textInput which always have to be focused (to scan bar codes) I enter bar codes to the textInput using scanner, so I do not need keyboard which appears any time textInput is focused

I tried Keyboard.dismiss() but in this case focus from textInput disappears
Is there any way to hide keyboard Maybe move it outside the screen somehow?

try to call this Keyboard.dismiss(); in onFocus callback – Taron Qalashyan Jun 07 '23 at 13:29
didn't help, on focus the keyboard disappeared but focus on the input also gone – Евгений Яковлев Jun 07 '23 at 13:37
did you try to call blur(); on the text input ref, instead of Keyboard.dismiss() – Taron Qalashyan Jun 07 '23 at 13:41
just tried but no effect since according to the doc blur Makes the native input lose focus. But I need to keep focus on the input and keyboard shouldn't appear – Евгений Яковлев Jun 07 '23 at 14:49
