Backspace is not working in Android

[ksshanu]

Hi,

Android backspace button is not working as expected in this module.

[ttdung11t2]

Yes, on Android, InputText doesn't fire onKeyPress event, so backspace button is not working. you can tap on the letter/number to remove it

hopefully that will change after this is merged.

[ttdung11t2]

Yes, If the backspace event is working on Android, it will work as the same in IOS

@ttdung11t2 @raduflp, would you mind testing facebook/react-native#14720 to see if it works as you'd expect it to?

[joshjhargreaves]

It might be worth keeping open until this lands in react native!

[ttdung11t2]

yes, should keep it open

Any news on this issue?

[joshjhargreaves]

I implemented onKeyPress with backspace detection in this commit: facebook/react-native@c9ff0bc. It'll be released as part of react-native 0.53

edit: It'd be useful if anybody would be willing to test with the latest RC of react-native: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/v0.53.0-rc.0 :).

[KalebPortillo]

I will test and let you guys know

It worked on 0.53.0-rc.0, both Android and IOS
Thanks @joshyhargreaves
