Sheet, keyboard and safe areas

Closing the sheet

Action	Controlled by
Tap the backdrop	closeOnBackdropPress (default true)
Tap ✕	always available
Android back button	always
Swipe the handle or header down	swipeToClose (default true)

• Swipe rules: a drag closes the sheet past a quarter of its height or on a fast flick; anything shorter springs back. The list still scrolls normally, because only the handle and header respond to the swipe.
• Callbacks: onClose and onBlur fire on every close. onDismiss fires after the close animation, which is the safe point to open another modal on iOS.

Keyboard

The list stays above the keyboard on Android (including edge-to-edge Android 15+, where the window doesn't resize) and on iOS. While the keyboard is open, a searchable sheet grows to just below the status bar so more results fit, then returns to its normal height.

Safe areas

• With react-native-safe-area-context: the sheet pads itself for the home indicator or Android navigation bar, and fullscreen mode clears the notch or Dynamic Island. No SafeAreaProvider is needed inside the modal; the insets are read from your app's provider.
• Without it: pass the insets yourself. Explicit props always win:

<ActionSheetPicker bottomInset={34} topInset={47} … />

Presentation

<ActionSheetPicker presentation="fullscreen" … />

presentation="fullscreen"

Other behaviour

Prop	Default
autoScrollToSelected	true	Open scrolled to the selected row
stickyHeaders	false	Keep group headers pinned

Animations are skipped when the OS reduce motion setting is on.
