SfChat editor not expandable on Android

When using a custom template for editor control, the editor expands vertical automatically as you input multi lines on iOS but NOT on Android. Please find the attached screenshot. Also sample project attached.

But with default SfChat editor I could not observe this issue.


SfChat: 19.4.0.53

X.Essentials: 1.7.1

X.Forms: 5.0.0.2337

Device: Android emulator Pixel 5 API 30

Hi Matt, 

You can resolve the reported scenario by setting AutoSize property with value TextChanges for the custom SfChat.Editor as like below code snippet. 
 
Code snippet: 
<Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2"> 
 <Grid.RowDefinitions> 
       <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/> 
 </Grid.RowDefinitions> 
 <sfChat:ChatEditorView AutoSize="TextChanges" x:Name="chatEditor" > 
<sfChat:ChatEditorView.Margin> 
     <OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="Thickness"> 
           <On Platform="Android" Value="0,11,0,0" /> 
           <On Platform="UWP" Value="0,11,0,0" /> 
           <On Platform="iOS" Value="0,5.5,0,5.5" /> 
     </OnPlatform> 
</sfChat:ChatEditorView.Margin> 
</sfChat:ChatEditorView> 
</Grid> 
 

We have attached a modified sample in the below sample link for your reference. 

Please let us know if you need further assistance. 

Regards, 
Suja

I tried AutoResize property as you suggested. That expands the chat editor but another issue came up. 

New issue was that keyboard covered the chat editor partially when showing/hiding the keyboard repeatly.

Hi Matt, 

We are able to reproduce the issue without SfChat control. We have reported the issue to the framework team. We will update you once we get the proper solution from the framework side.
