I implemented a bottom half modal view in react native, which is sliding in from the bottom . I set the background of the modal view to transparent so the previous view is still visible, but the modal view is in focus. This is working fine and once it is open it also looks how I want it to look. My problem is, that the transparent background is also sliding in from the background and this does not look like a native implementation at all. What I want to achieve is, that the transparent background just appears while the modal view slides in from the bottom. Any idea on how to solve this?
Note: Iam using Modal from inbuilt react native, hence not using any npm module or package.
My code:
import { View, Text, Modal } from 'react-native';
function DurationModal(props) {
<View>
<Modal
visible={props.isVisible}
transparent
animationType='slide'
statusBarTranslucent
>
<View>
<View style={{ backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.1)', height: hp('60%') }}></View>
<View style={{ backgroundColor: Colors.whiteBackgroundColor, height: hp('40%') }}>
<Text>Hello</Text>
</View>
</View>
</Modal>
</View>
);
}
I am not able to fill the status bar area with component. I tried to do it by hiding the status bar using <StatusBar hidden />. But this one leaves a white space there. For example I want to fill the green image the status bar.
TLDR: working project link
On the gist link (you've provided on the comment), I can see that you are using the following structure
<SafeAreaView>
<StatusBar ... />
<ImageBackground ...></ImageBackground>
</SafeAreaView>
If you want to hide the status bar and cover the whole screen with the image you need to change SafeAreaView to just View and also remove StatusBar component.
<View>
<ImageBackground ...></ImageBackground>
</View>
Cause SafeAreaView will dynamically put some padding at the top. So although you've put style={{ height: '100%', width: '100%' }} it will respect the padding of SafeAreaView cause it is the parent component here.
Also at this point, you do not need StatusBar, cause the StatusBas already has an image as background.
React Native's TextInput has a clearButtonMode property which would display a small x button on the right of the input area in iOS through which text can be cleared.
I am having issues with the hit slop of that button. I believe it is too small and easy to miss. I have to press multiple times in order to hit the right spot in order to activate it.
Is there a way to customize this clear button => change its hitSlop, color, etc?
What you could do, is to wrap your TextInput element with view and Animated.View, so you can add your own Clear Button with TouchableOpacity for example, and select an icon, colors, size, etc.
So, basically, it would be something like this:
<Animated.View style={...}>
<TextInput value={...} style={...} onChangeText={...} />
<TouchableOpacity>
{/* HERE GOES YOUR CLEAR BUTTON, FOR EXAMPLE: */}
<MaterialIcons size={24} color={'black'} name={'close'} />
</TouchableOpacity>
</Animated.View>
We have a SectionList with rows that are wrapped with the TouchableHighlight tag. When the user scrolls he is not able to click on a row until the SectionList comes to a full stop. This leads to a UX feeling of a delayed click. We would like to make the TouchableHighlight clickable even while scrolling. Any option to get around this?
<TouchableHighlight underlayColor={colors.rowClick}
onPress={props.onPress}>
<View style={styles.container}>
...
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
I'm new to React Native, so am probably asking something very obvious, but please help.
I have a view wrapped in a touchable, so that the whole area responds to tapping. Then have a ScrollView nested inside the view. The overall structure is something like this:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<Text>Hello, here is a very long text that needs scrolling.</Text>
<ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
When this compiles and runs, the tapping is detected, but the scroll view doesn't scroll at all. I made the above code short and simple, but each component has the proper styling and I can see everything rendering fine and the long text is cutoff at the bottom of the ScrollView. Please help.
Thank you!
This is what worked for me:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={...}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}>
// Scrollable content
</View>
</ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
The onStartShouldSetResponder prop stops the touch event propagation towards the TouchableWithoutFeedback element.
I'm using this structure it's working for me:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => {}}>
{other content}
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}>
<ScrollView>
{scrollable content}
</ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
You can have a scrollView or FlatList inside a TouchableWithoutFeedback. Tho you shouldn't but some times you have no other choice to go. Taking a good look at this questions and answer validates that.
close react native modal by clicking on overlay,
how to dismiss modal by tapping screen in react native.
For the Question, The only way you can make it work (atleast that i know of), or the simplest way is to add a TouchableOpacity around Text in your code like this,
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<TouchableOpacity>
<Text>Hello, here is a very long text that needs scrolling.</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
Note: TouchableOpacity is a wrapper for making Views respond properly to touches so automatically you can style it the way you would have styled your View Component then set some of its special props to whatever you want e.g activeOpacity etc. Moreso you can use TouchableHighlight it works, but it receives one child element i.e you enclose all your component inside a parent one.
I'm using this structure it's working for me:
<TouchableOpacity>
{other content}
<ScrollView>
<TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={1}>
{scrollable content}
</TouchableOpacity>
</ScrollView>
I found that for my situation the other examples did not work as they disabled the ability to click or disabled the ability to scroll. I instead used:
<FlatList
data={[{key: text1 }, { key: text2 } ...]}
renderItem={({ item }) => (
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.onPressContent}>
<Text style={styles.text}>{item.key}</Text>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
)}
/>
I happend to need to multiple chunks but you could use single element in the data array for one piece of text.
This let the press event to fire as well as let the text scroll.
Trying to use a ScrollView component inside a TouchableWithoutFeedback component can cause some unexpected behavior because the TouchableWithoutFeedback component is designed to capture user gestures and trigger an action, but the ScrollView component is designed to allow users to scroll through content.Here is what the official docs say
Do not use unless you have a very good reason. All elements that
respond to press should have a visual feedback when touched.
TouchableWithoutFeedback supports only one child. If you wish to have
several child components, wrap them in a View. Importantly,
TouchableWithoutFeedback works by cloning its child and applying
responder props to it. It is therefore required that any intermediary
components pass through those props to the underlying React Native
component.
Thats write , you cannot have a scroll view inside the TouchableWithoutFeedback, it the property of react native that it will disable it, you can instead have your scroll view outside the TouchableWithoutFeedback tab and add the other contents that you want upon the click inside a view tag.
You can also use the Touchable Highlights instead, if the TouchableWithoutFeedback does not works.
