React native check if event has been removed

Question

I am adding KeyboardEvent listeners to my react native code, like so:

keyboardListener = Keyboard.addListener("keyboardDidShow", onKeyboardShowed);

There are several places when I call keyboardListener.remove() and I would like to be able to re-add this listener ONLY if it has been removed.

Something like this:

if(keyboardListener.isRemoved){
    // Reattach the listener
    keyboardListener = Keyboard.addListener("keyboardDidShow", onKeyboardShowed);
}

Is there a way to check keyboardListener.remove() has been called?

Answer 1

Well as of this post the removeListener() has been deprecated (https://reactnative.dev/docs/keyboard#removelistener). There is a .remove() which should be appended to addEventListener().

Answer 2

There is no function .remove(), you might mean removeListener or removeAllListeners like described in the Documentation?!?
