Address data field automatically removes in text field in react native

Facing the issue where I enter data in the "Address" field where I want to get user’s home address and it automatically gets removed while the other fields work just fine i.e. the data entered stays in the field.

Apologies for bad variable naming as I’m still a beginner. Here’s the code:

import React, { useState } from "react";
import {
  View,
  Text,
  TextInput,
  StyleSheet,
  Pressable,
  Image,
  Alert,
} from "react-native";
import { useRoute, useNavigation } from "@react-navigation/native";

export default function AddressScreen() {
  const route = useRoute();
  const navigation = useNavigation();
  const { address: initialAddress, handleAddressChange } = route.params;
  const [address, setAddress] = useState(initialAddress);

  const handleDone = () => {
    if (Object.values(address).some((val) => val.trim() === "")) {
      Alert.alert("Error, Please fill in all fields.");
      return;
    }
    handleAddressChange(address);
    navigation.goBack();
  };

  const handleChange = (field, value) => {
    console.log(`Changing ${field} to ${value}`);
    setAddress((prev) => ({ ...prev, [field]: value }));
  };

  console.log("Rerendering AddressScreen");
  return (
    <View style={StyleSheet.container}>
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Full Name"
        value={address.fullName}
        onChangeText={(text) => handleChange("fullName", text)}
      />
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Address"
        value={address.addressLine}
        onChargeText={(text) => handleChange("addressLine", text)}
      />
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="City"
        value={address.city}
        onChangeText={(text) => handleChange("city", text)}
      />
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Email Address"
        value={address.emailAddress}
        onChangeText={(text) => handleChange("emailAddress", text)}
      />
      <TextInput
        style={styles.input}
        placeholder="Phone Number"
        value={address.phoneNumber}
        onChangeText={(text) => handleChange("phoneNumber", text)}
      />
      <Pressable style={styles.doneButton} onPress={handleDone}>
        <Text style={styles.doneButtonText}>DONE</Text>
      </Pressable>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({...})

handleAddressChange takes the data from all text fields and pass on to the another component so this shouldn’t be the problem. I did the logs and what I figured is that handleChange isn’t invoked whenever i enter data into the address field while it does for other fields and the data entered into address field only, automatically removes after a second while the other fields don’t exhibit the same behavior. Since the code is written the same for all fields (according to me) why is that happening and how to fix?

    To diagnose and resolve the issue with the "Address" field automatically clearing itself while other fields retain their data, follow these steps:

    HTML and Form Validation:

    Ensure there are no required attributes or other validation rules causing the field to reset.
    Check if the input type for the address field is correct. It should be .
    JavaScript or jQuery:

    If you are using JavaScript or jQuery to handle form data, ensure there are no scripts running that clear the "Address" field.
    Look for any event listeners (like onchange, oninput, or onsubmit) that might reset the field.
    Backend Processing:

    Ensure the backend is correctly handling the data sent from the form.
    Check if there is any server-side validation or processing that might clear the field if the data doesn’t meet certain criteria.
    Inspect Element:

    Use the browser’s developer tools (right-click on the address field and select "Inspect") to check for any console errors or issues with the field.
    Monitor network requests to see if the data is being sent and received correctly.
    Form Resetting:

    Ensure that the form is not being reset programmatically after submission. This might be done via JavaScript with form.reset() or similar.
    Check for Autocomplete:

    If you have autocomplete attributes, ensure they are correctly set. Incorrect autocomplete settings might interfere with the field’s behavior.

    There is a typo mistake in your code.

    Below is Your code (Typo mistake is onChargeText):

    <TextInput
  style={styles.input}
  placeholder="Address"
  value={address.addressLine}
  onChargeText={(text) => handleChange("addressLine", text)}
/>

    Change it with onChangeText:

    <TextInput
  style={styles.input}
  placeholder="Address"
  value={address.addressLine}
  onChangeText={(text) => handleChange("addressLine", text)}
/>
