I have tried a lot of npm packages but it seems that none of them are compatible with Expo.
I am thinking of building a range slider by myself, but as far as I know, there is no range input component in react native.
What I need is something like this :

How can I achieve this ?
I am using expo version 5.4.12.
Try this
Here is an example of making custom range slider which is compatible with expo sdk
I think you can do this using a slider package (like react-native-multi-slider) and measure the location of the marker using React Native's measure. Combining these two tools you can create an element to be positioned above the marker every time the user interact with slider.

I would like to create a box to select the date as in the attached photo.
What do you recommend to create something similar in react native with expo?
I tried using MUI's Mobile DatePicker API, but it doesn't work, errors occur.
Update:
I created this box to select the date, but when I go to press it gives me an error.
The error is the following:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/#react-native-community/datetimepicker
Works with Expo. Static version set at 3.x.x (something version 3). So you won't have the full functionality that is described on their docs, but you'll have enough.
expo install #react-native-community/datetimepicker
instead of npm to ensure you get the compatible version.
This library can be a bit difficult to work with. The main suggestion I have for you is to create a custom component on your own that looks like your design. Then wrap it with a TouchableOpacity and onPress set the DateTimePicker to show its modal. Grab the value you need from the onChange result, and pass it to your local state. Dont try anything fancy after that because as I mentioned earlier, the library is difficult to work with and really fights hard against any customization. It works well though and will certainly solve your problem.
I'm creating a vue native app but the input text looks like an input text on HTML. I thought vue-native would create a native input with native styles per device.
Do I forget something?
I found https://nativebase.io/ which seems to be the solution I need. Since I'm new on this native apps, is this library the way to implement native styles per device?
While react-native renders native views, it doesn't take native (platform and os-version-specific) styles to apply to them. These would look different on each platform and version of the device, and also be impossible to style from react-native. There are some components that look like native ones (e.g. Button, Switch) but they are also styled from react-native so that you can override any styles you want
So yes, the only way to make react-native views look like native ones is to style them accordingly, and that's what libraries like nativebase do
I am not able to use google.maps.geometry.poly.isLocationOnEdge() in my react native project. Is there any other way to check whether a point lies on a route which I can use to react native?
I recently came across this problem while using react-native-maps.
You can use isPointInLine(point, lineStart, lineEnd) method by using geolib JS package. This package has many other useful methods.
I'm trying to understand how I can do a signature capture in React Native. My App is created with create-react-native-app and Expo and I'd prefer to not have to eject the app to get this functionality to work.
Would it be possible to wrap something like this in a webview? https://github.com/szimek/signature_pad
I've also looked at this project, https://github.com/RepairShopr/react-native-signature-capture but it requires me to eject the app and use react-native link.
Looking for any advice or suggestions on how to implement this feature while keeping my project as straightforward as possible (ideally, using create-react-native-app, but if this isn't possible could someone please explain to me why?)
The way React Native works is that each component available in React Native maps to a native component in the underlying platform.
ie. a <Image /> is an ImageView in Android and a UIImageView.h in iOS.
The Javascript code itself runs in a Javascript thread on each platform and as you use Components in React Native, there's a translation layer that passes information from JS into the React Native bridge that then results in corresponding native components being created.
By default, React Native has included the following components: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/components-and-apis.html#basic-components which means that only those components come out-of-the-box in React Native. If you want other components, then you have 2 options, either create a "composite" component in which your JS component is written into other JS components or, if your feature needs a native component not yet exposed by React Native, write your own "native" component to expose certain native functionality to your React Native code.
The way Expo works is that they have wrapped React Native and a handful of 3rd party components and built it within their application. The reason why you can't use a 3rd party native component they don't support is because when that component is used, the app itself doesn't have translation code to go from JS to a native Android/iOS view.
So, to do what you're asking, you'd need to find either a "native" drawing component that Expo has included in their platform/app. OR you need to find a "composite" drawing component that is built with other default React Native components (or other components Expo supports).
ie. On Android, I might build this with a Canvas view, but from what I can tell React Native doesn't support that object natively, so I would probably write this myself, etc.
It's hard for Expo to support every 3rd party "native" component out there because React Native is open source and it iterates so fast that most community-built components aren't always up to date or they might conflict with one another.
I am using react-native-signature-capture.
Working properly on both Android and iOS.
I know it's been a while, but there is an interesting article here: https://blog.expo.io/drawing-signatures-with-expo-25d1629ca1ac
Wait, but how?
Using “expo-pixi”, you can add a component that lets you choose your brush’s color, thickness, and opacity. Then when your user lifts her finger, you get a callback. From there you can take a screenshot of the transparent view or get the raw point data if that’s what you’re looking for.
We have started developing an iOS/Android app using React Native. We have automated a lot of our functionality so far using Appium, but have run into a problem with being able to set or select values in a picker (date or choice picker).
I am trying to find if we need to try to fix Appium or look into providing a solution in React Native. I know native iOS/Android apps have solved this issue in the past couple of years, so hoping someone might have an idea on how to solve it for ReactNative.
An example of what we tried to do with Appium (based on what we did with our old iOS Application).
To pick "Colorado" from a picker, we would do the following:
driver.getElementById("IdOfElementOnPage").sendKeys("Colorado");
The problem is that this does not work. Even though it can find the field by id, it cannot select the value from the picker.
Here is a screenshot from Appium of the issue. See how the picker options are just one big blob of text?
