Question: Preventing sheet from closing when interacting with elements (Android)

[szheleshchenko]

Hey, I ran into an issue on Android where the sheet closes when interacting with elements inside it (like a DatePicker, but could be any interactive element). On iOS, the sheet stays open when using

<View
  onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}
  onResponderTerminationRequest={() => false}
/>

but on Android, these props don't work.

I tried to workaround it with adding a ScrollView and passing scrollRef to the sheet, but that was no use.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior on Android without disabling the sheet's movement altogether? It's a pretty common use case to have interactive elements inside the bottom sheet that shouldn’t trigger a close action when touched.

Would love some help or suggestions on how to handle this. Thanks! 🙌

Hey @szheleshchenko, do you have a reproducible example?

@lodev09 Yes, I created an example using DatePicker. https://github.com/szheleshchenko/true-sheet-reproduction/blob/master/app/index.tsx

Here's how it looks:
