I have read the docs but still don't understand how to make the text input scroll to an exact position. I want the text input to automatically scroll to the very top of the screen just below my Header component. Using the following code below, could anyone provide an example of how this is done? Thanks.
<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
<TextInput
style={{
fontSize: 18,
width: "100%",
textAlignVertical: "center",
}}
autoFocus={true}
blurOnSubmit={false}
value={name}
onChangeText={(text: string) => {
setName(text);
}}
/>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>

I'm having an issue when I try to custom my TextInput whereas the placeholder will have normal fontWeight and the textinput will be bold.
This is my code for that:
<TextInput
placeholder={'Input'}
style={{ width: '100%', fontWeight: this.state.text.length > 0 ? 'bold' : 'normal' }}
value={this.state.text}
onChangeText={(text) => {
this.setState({
text,
});
}}
/>
My issue is: Firstly, placeholder have normal fontWeight, i entered some randomly input and then delete all of it, the placeholder style is not change back to normal but still be bold.
How can I change the following button's font size? Using the style attribute with fontSize doesn't work.
<Button
style={{fontSize: 32}}
uppercase={false}
mode="contained">
Some text
</Button>
The React Native Button is very limited in what you can do, see; https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/button
It does not have a style prop, and you don't set fontSize.
If you want to have more control over the appearance you should use one of the TouchableXXXX' components like TouchableOpacity They are really easy to use :-)
I have make a button for you . hope it will useful for you
<TouchableOpacity style={{height:50,backgroundColor:"skyblue",alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
<Text style={{fontSize:32,}}>Some Text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
I use the Text component inside TouchableXXX for every button, it's more flexible and works fine, you can also try to make you own button component and passing props that you want to control (fontsize, colors ...):
<TouchableHighlight onPress={handelPress} style={styles.buttonStyle}>
<Text style={styles.buttonTextStyle}>Click here</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
If you are using 'react-native-elements' button, use titleStyle to set font size.
import {Input, Button} from 'react-native-elements';
<Button
titleStyle={{
color: "white",
fontSize: 16,
}}
buttonStyle={{
backgroundColor: "white",
borderRadius: 60,
flex: 1,
}}
title="Click here"
/>
For React-native Button, you can use use TouchableOpacity.
<TouchableOpacity style={{height:50}}>
<Text style={{fontSize:36}}>Click here</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
I've been tackling this issue for a few weeks, and it's driving me insane.
Basically, I have a Modal component that nests a form. The form is a bunch of TextInput components, at the heart of everything. One of the components in the form is an Autocomplete, from React Native Autocomplete Input. The problem is that I'm able to put the results list from Autocomplete in front of everything else, but my touches pass right through the container and focuses on the TextInput behind the results list. I'm not able to change the order of components, so I can't just put this one input after everything else.
The general setup of the form is below:
<Modal>
<TouchableWithoutFeedback>
<View style={containerStyle}>
<TouchableWithoutFeedback>
<View>
<CardSection style={sectionStyle}>
<Input
...props...
/>
</CardSection>
<CardSection style={acSectionStyle}>
<Text style={labelStyle}>Brand *</Text>
<View style={acContainerStyle}>
<Autocomplete
autoCapitalize='none'
autoCorrect={false}
listStyle={acListStyle}
data={brands.length === 1 && comp(query, brands[0]) ? [] : brands}
defaultValue={query}
onChangeText={text => this.setState({ query: text })}
renderItem={this.renderItem.bind(this)}
hideResults={this.state.hideResults ? this.state.hideResults : undefined}
onBlur={() => this.setState({ hideResults: true })}
onFocus={() => this.setState({ hideResults: false })}
/>
</View>
</CardSection>
<CardSection style={sectionStyle}>
<Input
...props...
/>
</CardSection>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
</Modal>
I had to stack the TouchableWithoutFeedback components in order to make the modal behave. There's more props in the components, but I only kept what was relevant.
My renderItem method is:
renderItem(brand) {
return (
<TouchableOpacity
style={{ width: '100%', height: 25 }}
onPress={() => {
this.setState({ pBrand: brand.trim(), query: brand.trim() });
}}
>
<Text style={styles.listItemStyle}>{brand}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
);
}
I don't believe it's a styling issue, but I've added the styles that deal with zIndex just in case:
containerStyle: {
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.75)',
position: 'relative',
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
zIndex: 1
},
acSectionStyle: {
justifyContent: 'center',
zIndex: 2,
height: 40
},
acContainerStyle: {
right: 0,
width: '75%',
flex: 1,
position: 'absolute',
zIndex: 2
}
The default keyboardShouldPersistTaps for Autocomplete is always. All of the questions I've seen suggest to set a higher zIndex (which isn't a problem - I can see the list, but if I tap on it, the tap goes through to the TextInput behind it), change the order of components (which I can't do), set onStartShouldSetResponderCapture to true (which didn't work), or mess with Pointer Events, none of which worked.
I'm using React Native V0.57.1, an actual Android device, and the project is built with Expo.
Finally, I've recorded a small demo for what my problem is. When the cursor re-appears, that's when I clicked on a result.
Is there just something I'm missing? I've only been writing in React Native for a few months so that's a definite possibility. I come from a web development background, so I thought that if a component was on top (thanks to zIndex), I'd be able to tap on it and not through it by default.
Edit: While messing around, if I change acSectionStyle to a height big enough for the dropdown, then the dropdown works how it should. The issue comes in when a sibling CardSection is being covered. The other CardSection takes precedence.
So, I finally found a workaround. Whether it's correct or not, which I feel like it isn't, at least it works!
I ended up taking the Autocomplete component (along with its' view) outside of the CardSection, but leaving the label in it, like so:
<CardSection style={acSectionStyle}>
<Text style={labelStyle}>Brand *</Text>
</CardSection>
<View style={acContainerStyle}>
<Autocomplete
autoCorrect={false}
listStyle={acListStyle}
// Text input container
inputContainerStyle={acTextContainerStyle}
style={acTextStyle}
placeholder='China Glaze'
data={brands.length === 1 && comp(query, brands[0]) ? [] : brands}
defaultValue={query}
onChangeText={text => this.setState({ query: text })}
renderItem={this.renderItem.bind(this)}
hideResults={this.state.hideResults ? this.state.hideResults : undefined}
onBlur={() => this.setState({ hideResults: true })}
onFocus={() => this.setState({ hideResults: false })}
/>
</View>
Then, and this is the part I think is wrong, I just played with the absolute-positioned view until I moved it far enough down to line up next to the label:
labelStyle: {
fontSize: 18,
paddingLeft: 20,
flex: 1
},
acContainerStyle: {
right: 0,
top: 102,
width: '72%',
flex: 1,
position: 'absolute',
zIndex: 10
}
I would love if someone has a better solution, but this is the best I could come up with. I try to avoid moving views with hard coded values just for scaling purposes, but it seems like this is the only option.
I'm trying to create an image with a text on it, and in order for the the text to be clearly seen I need to make the image darker.
Also (don't sure if it matters or not) I need the background image to be touchable.
This question was asked several times here and I've seen some answers, but none of them worked for me, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something more crucial here.
My code is the following:
<View style={postStyles.container}>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() =>
this.props.navigation.navigate('AnotherWindow')}>
<ImageBackground source={require('../../assets/images/my_img.jpg')}
style={{width: '100%', height: 150}}>
<Text style={postStyles.title} numberOfLines={2}>
My text
</Text>
</ImageBackground></TouchableOpacity>
From looking around here, I've tried the following solutions:
Tried to wrap the text element inside the imagebackground tag inside a
View element that has a style property of "backgroundColor" with value of 'rgba(255,0,0,0.5)' (also tried different values),
Tried to add this backgroundColor property to the styles of both the container itself, the TouchableOpacity element
Tried to above two solutions with the "elevation" property instead of backgroundColor (I work in Android).
None of the above solutions worked, in a sense that the background image didn't change at all, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something more crucial.
Thanks!
If anyone still having problems with the ImageBackground component, this is how i solved it, basically i set a view inside the image background which has the backgroundColor that darkens the image.
<ImageBackground
source={Images.background}
style={styles.imageBackground}
>
<View style={styles.innerContainer}>
{content}
</View>
</ImageBackground>
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
imageBackground: {
height: '100%',
width: '100%'
},
innerContainer: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0, 0.60)'
},
});
if you want to make the image darker, you'll need the Image component and use the tintColor prop like:
<Image source={require('./your_image.png')} style={{ tintColor: 'cyan' }}>
this tintColor prop only works for Image component not ImageBackground, also if you want to add a text on the Image component, you'll need to positioning that text with position: 'absolute' or 'relative'
<View style={postStyles.container}>
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => his.props.navigation.navigate('AnotherWindow')}>}
>
<Image
source={require('./my_image.png')}
resizeMode="contain"
style={{ width: '100%', height: 150, tintColor: 'cyan' }}
/>
<Text style={postStyles.title} numberOfLines={2}>
My text
</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
Also, if you implement this approach you'll need to calculate the dimensions of the screen for each device, well you'll need to check this other component from react-native: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/dimensions
Please, let me know if this works :D
You should just add tintColor to ImageBackground imageStyle and you're done. easy peasy!
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('AnotherWindow')}>
<ImageBackground source={require('../../assets/images/my_img.jpg')}
style={{width: '100%', height: 150}}
imageStyle={{tintColor: 'rgba(255,0,0,0.5)'}}>
<Text style={postStyles.title} numberOfLines={2}>
My text
</Text>
</ImageBackground>
</TouchableOpacity>
Is there any built in text area component for react-native? I have tried to implement these ones:
https://github.com/buildo/react-autosize-textarea
https://github.com/andreypopp/react-textarea-autosize
but getting an error "Expected a component class got object object".
Yes there is. It's called TextInput, the normal TextInput Component supports multiple lines.
Just assign following properties to your TextInput Component
multiline = {true}
numberOfLines = {4}
At the end you should have this:
<TextInput
multiline={true}
numberOfLines={4}
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({text})}
value={this.state.text}/>
Source https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/textinput
If you want to see your TextInput component like a textarea, you will need to add this
<TextInput
multiline={true}
numberOfLines={10}
style={{ height:200, textAlignVertical: 'top',}}/>
I build text areas in react-native by wrapping a TextInput component into a View the following way:
<View style={styles.textAreaContainer} >
<TextInput
style={styles.textArea}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
placeholder="Type something"
placeholderTextColor="grey"
numberOfLines={10}
multiline={true}
/>
</View>
...
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
textAreaContainer: {
borderColor: COLORS.grey20,
borderWidth: 1,
padding: 5
},
textArea: {
height: 150,
justifyContent: "flex-start"
}
})
I am using this component:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-autogrow-textinput
It expands automatically on-text growth. I created my own reusable component with the autogrow-textinput as part of it, which inside the component looks like that:
<AutoGrowingTextInput
minHeight={40}
maxHeight={maxHeight} // this is a flexible value that I set in my
component, where I use this reusable component, same below, unless specified the other
onChangeText={onChangeText}
placeholder={placeholder}
placeholderTextColor='#C7C7CD'
style={inputStyle}
value={value}
/>
If you are using only react-native components your option is TextInput
As "funkysoul" explained:
Just assign following properties to your TextInput Component
multiline = {true}
numberOfLines = {4}
If you want to see this component as the classic textarea (bigger than an inline text-input), you usually will need to add the height style-property. See the following example:
<TextInput
multiline={true}
numberOfLines={10}
style={{ height:200, backgroundColor:'red'}}
/>
I added the backgroundColor for a better understanding of the height role. Please don't use it on your project ;)
