"Terms of Service" is printed higher than "By continuing, you agree to our". How do I vertically align them?
Or more precisely - how do I get the Pressable Text to vertically align to the bottom?
This is a bug in React Native itself. There are several open reports of this bug on React Native's GitHub, but the chances of it being fixed don't look good:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/30375 - for the general problem of Views nested in Text being mis-aligned on Android, and a core contributor responded, but appeared to get derailed and stuck in some details specific to mimicking superscript and subscript.
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31955 - specific to Pressable and someone posted a PR to fix it, but Facebook closed it because no-one from Facebook got around to reviewing it before it became stale and out of date with the main branch.
There's also some discussion in this issue comment, but the issue got closed.
In React Native >= 0.65, if your inline pressable element uses only text styles, you can work around this issue by using <Text> with onPress (and onPressIn and onPressOut to style the pressed state). Crude example:
/**
* Like a simplified Pressable that doesn't look broken inline in `Text` on Android
*/
const TextButton = ({ children, onPress, style, ...rest } => {
const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(false)
const onPressIn = () => setPressed(true)
const onPressOut = () => setPressed(false)
return (
<Text
onPress={onPress}
onPressIn={onPressIn}
onPressOut={onPressOut}
style={typeof style === 'function' ? style({ pressed }) : style}
{...rest}
>
{typeof children === 'function' ? children({ pressed }) : children}
</Text>
)
}
Beware, however, that there are also bugs around selecting interactive elements nested inside text using accessibility tools. If you can simply avoid nesting the interactive element in text, and have it on its own line, that's probably better: link-like interactive nested text isn't well supported in React Native currently.
On older versions of React Native before 0.65, Text didn't support onPressIn or onPressOut:
If you don't need Pressable's pressed state, use Text instead of Pressable (as the asker did: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66590787/568458)
If you do need pressed state, Text doesn't support the required onPressIn/Out handlers. However, TouchableWithoutFeedback does support those, and works by injecting props into its child so the Text will remain Text with no wrapping View. Wrap a Text in TouchableWithoutFeedback and pass the touchable onPress with onPressIn and onPressOut handlers and store the pressed state yourself.
/**
* Like a simplified Pressable that doesn't look broken inline in `Text` on Android
*/
const TextButton = ({ children, onPress, style, ...rest } => {
const [pressed, setPressed] = useState(false)
const onPressIn = () => setPressed(true)
const onPressOut = () => setPressed(false)
// TouchableWithoutFeedback modifies and returns its child; this returns `Text`
// plus press in/out events attached that aren't supported by Text directly.
return (
<TouchableWithoutFeedback
onPress={onPress}
onPressIn={onPressIn}
onPressOut={onPressOut}
>
<Text
style={typeof style === 'function' ? style({ pressed }) : style}
{...rest}
>
{typeof children === 'function' ? children({ pressed }) : children}
</Text>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
)
}
Warning: if you're also using React Native Web and React Navigation, don't use the TouchableWithoutFeedback approach on Web, use pure Pressable on web, because React Navigation's navigate functions don't reliably work when passed to Touchable*s on Web due to a quirk of how the event handlers are set up (but they do work in Pressable), and this issue doesn't exist on Web.
Ended up doing this differently, using the onPress property of the <Text> component and finally wrapping all <Text> components in another <Text> component to have a proper line break:
<View>
<Text>
<Text>

The snippet below should work but hard to understand without giving a shot. If you can provide screenshots I can help more in sake of getting a more proper result.
<View>
<Text style={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center'

I found a very hackidy-hack solution...
<Text selectable={true}>
<Text>if you click</Text>
<TouchableOpacity
style={{flexDirection: 'row'}}
onPress={() => Linking.openURL("https://www.google.com")}
>
<Text
style={{
alignSelf: 'flex-end',
marginBottom: -4,
}}
>
here
</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<Text>, it will open google</Text>
</Text>
By default the flexDirection is column. Change it to flexDirection:"row"
I have an Input from react native elements which looks like this
<Input
placeholderTextColor={constants.inputPlaceholderFontColor}
inputContainerStyle={{marginTop: 30, borderBottomColor: constants.dimmedFontColor}}
placeholder='Spieleranzahl'
keyboardType='numeric'
leftIconContainerStyle={{marginRight: 10, marginBottom: 8}}
leftIcon={
<Icon
name='user'
size={ 24 }
color= {constants.iconColor}/>
}
onChangeText={input => this.setState({numberOfPlayers: input})}
I tried to set the color by
style={{color: 'white'}}
inputStyle={{color: 'white'}}
inputContainerStyle={{color: 'white'}}
The documentation says: "This component inherits all native TextInput props that come with a standard React Native TextInput element, along with the following..." so I dont understand why the style property doesn't work because it works with the standard TextInput component.
Also, the documentation says about inputStyle: "style that will be passed to the style props of the React Native TextInput" so that should also work because this is the way to set color on the standard Text component.
Am I missing something?
I've created an example on snack.expo and inputStyle works perfectly on both iOS and Android. Most probably there is another issue, that's why I would recommend to reimplement my simple example and see if it works.
Update: Maybe only your placeholdertext is shown. I can't see the place in your code, where you pass the value prop to your input.
Demo:
https://snack.expo.io/Yunjp2ozw
Output:
Code:
export default function App() {
const [text, setText] = React.useState('Test');
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Input
value={text}
onChangeText={(text) => setText(text)}
inputStyle={{'color': 'red'}}
/>
</View>
);
}
I need to pass a method from parent to child component via {this.props.children} in react native.
i tried
{React.cloneElement(this.props.children, { lang: "en" })}
but it just giving an error. any idea on how to do this in react native ?
export default function ComponentA(props){
return(
<View style={{backgroundColor: "red"}}>
{props.children}
</View>
);
};
<ComponentA>
<Text>THIS TEXT WILL HAVE A RED BACKGROUND</Text>
</ComponentA>
Hello i'm new on react native. I am using react native elements slider in my project but want to select range with two marker. It is working with one marker.
Here is my code :
<View style={{backgroundColor: "#fff"}}>
<Slider
style={{ width: '90%',marginLeft:20,marginRight:20 }}
minimumValue={0}
maximumValue={100}
step={1}
value={this.state.cost}
onValueChange={cost => console.log(cost)}
/>
<Text style={{marginLeft:20,marginRight:20}}>{this.state.cost}</Text>
</View>
React Native Elements slider doesn't support multiple marker. However you can use this library if you need multiple markers
Is there a way in React Native to set the style for standard elements without adding a style tag to each and every one? Like for example I want to alter the style for these:
<Text>This is test</Text>
<Text>This is also text</Text>
<Text>And so is this</Text>
As I understand it the only way to say a margin indent is to do this:
<Text style={styles.indentText}>This is test</Text>
<Text style={styles.indentText}>This is also text</Text>
<Text style={styles.indentText}>And so is this</Text>
In ordinary website CSS you can obviously just set some styles for all HTML elements without needing to add a class or ID to them. How is it done in React Native?
You can set an abstraction layer just for it:
IndentedText = React.createClass({
render: () {
<Text style={styles.indentText}>{this.props.text}</Text>
}
})
And then in your other components:
<IndentedText text={"This is a text"} />
<IndentedText text={"This is also a text"} />
<IndentedText text={"And so is this"} />
