onChangeText is too late?

[mehulmpt]

Hello,
I'm using <TextInput> component in my app with onChangeText event and I'm setting value attribute to this.state.inputText which I update myself in callback.

However, sometimes I try not to update the text, i.e. I'll not update the state and hence the text SHOULD NOT appear in the TextInput. But I see the text updated inside input field for a fraction of second and then it goes back to original.

Ex -

ABC______________ <-- textinput
My onChangeText={this.doSomething} function:

doSomething(text) {
if(text == 'ABCD') return;
this.setState({inputText: text});
}

Now when I enter D above, 'D' will appear in the input field for a fraction of second whereas ideally it should not. Why is onChangeText firing after the text has already been displayed inside TextInput?
