When stickyHeaderIndices is used, style of component changes - react-native

I've searched common problems and how to use stickyHeaderIndices and so on. But stuck with one point, and I didn't even find why this occurs, so couldn't search on the internet.
Everything works fine on web, but not on my phone when I use sticky.
My Scroll View Structure:
<ScrollView stickyHeaderIndices={[0]} style={styles.layout}>
<View style={styles.topBar}>
<Text style={styles.title}>Messages</Text>
<View style={styles.notificationIcon}>
<Text style={styles.notificationIconTxt}>{notificationCount}</Text>
</View>
</View>
<ChatItem pairingCategory={'Name'} />
</ScrollView>
View that I want to stick on top:
If I use the structure above, it sticks on top but style of the component changes (as in the picture below), I want that bubble to stay next to text.
Here's my styles:
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
layout: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: colors.lightBg
},
topBar: {
backgroundColor: colors.lightBg,
paddingVertical: 15,
paddingLeft: 24,
flexDirection: 'row',
flexWrap: 'nowrap',
alignItems: 'center',
},
title: {
fontSize: 32,
marginRight: 8,
},
notificationIcon: {
borderRadius: 15,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
width: 30,
height: 30,
backgroundColor: colors.mainBg,
padding: 5
},
notificationIconTxt: {
color: 'white',
fontWeight: "700"
}
})
Whenever I delete stickyHeaderIndices, topBar view seems the way I want, but not sticks to top.
Why it happens, and what can I do to solve it?

Solved!
I still don't know, what was the reason for it, but created new component called ChatListTopBar then wrapped my first children View.
function ChatListTopBar({notificationCount}) {
return (
<View style={styles.topBar}>
<Text lineBreakMode='false' style={styles.title}>Mesajlar</Text>
<View style={styles.notificationIcon}>
<Text style={styles.notificationIconTxt}>15</Text>
</View>
</View>
)
}
//ScrollView section seems so
<ScrollView stickyHeaderIndices={[0]} style={styles.layout}>
<ChatListTopBar notificationCount={notificationCount} />
<ChatItem pairingCategory={'Name'} />
</ScrollView>
Replacing like so, just fixed the issue!

wrap your View which you are trying to stick with <></>

Grid with floating number of elements ( depending on their size ) in the row

Trying to implement a thingy with no luck. Any help would be highly appreciated.
As much elements as possible should be displayed per row, but only if they fit. Elements might be with different width ( depending on a text ). Everything should be centered.
A picture is worth a thousands words:
Tried lots of things nothing worked..
Thanks in advance.
These are two useful links in your case https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/flexbox.html and https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/layout-props.html#flexwrap
That code works for me successfully on iOS
export default class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}><Text style={styles.buttonText}>Hello</Text></TouchableHighlight>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}><Text style={styles.buttonText}>Some app</Text></TouchableHighlight>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}><Text style={styles.buttonText}>TV&Internet</Text></TouchableHighlight>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}><Text style={styles.buttonText}>Remarkable</Text></TouchableHighlight>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}><Text style={styles.buttonText}>It works</Text></TouchableHighlight>

}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {

react native,child's width by percentage

Here is my code. I want the product view to take up 90% width of its parent. However, the settings below are not working.
...any idea how to achieve it without using dimensions?
return (
<LazyloadScrollView
style={styles.container}
contentContainerStyle={styles.content}
name="scrollImage" >
{list.map((product, i) => <View key={i} style={styles.product}>
<LazyloadImage
host="scrollImage"
style={styles.image}
source={image}
animation={false}>
<View style={styles.id}>
<Text style={styles.idText}>{product.id}</Text>
</View>
</LazyloadImage>
</View>)
}
</LazyloadScrollView>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: '#ffffff'
},
content: {
paddingTop: 20,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#eee'
},
product: {
flex: 0.9,
marginTop: 5,
flexDirection: 'row',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF'
},
Why not use Dimensions? It will enable your app to be responsive.
If you don't want to use dimensions, try some style settings in the container and it's children, for example, make it full width with padding
container: {
backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
alignSelf: 'stretch',
padding: 30
}
I don't know if it works because you would have to post the rest of the code to test it but keep playing with the style and flex properties until you make it work, shouldn't take long.
Btw, always good to revisit the official layout props docs from react native
And css tricks guide to flexbox

TouchOpacity does not cover whole menu link

I just started using react-native so sorry if it's a trivial question.
I'm trying to create a sidebar with multiple links in it. The sidebar works fine but the issue is with the links themselves. Below is the jsx for the link.
<TouchableOpacity style={MenuItemStyles.ItemWrapper} onPress={this.props.onPress}>
<View style={MenuItemStyles.itemIcon}>
<Icon
name={this.props.iconName}
size={this.props.size || 30}
color={Colours.LightGrey}
/>
</View>
<Text style={MenuItemStyles.itemLabel}>
{this.props.label}
</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
And the style:
const MenuItemStyles = StyleSheet.create({
ItemWrapper: {
flexDirection: 'row',
alignSelf: 'stretch',
marginTop: 10,
width: 100,
marginBottom: 10
},
itemIcon: {
alignItems: 'center',
alignSelf: 'center',
width: 80,
},
itemLabel: {
color: '#000000',
fontSize: 20,
fontFamily: 'sans-serif-light',
textAlign: 'center',
marginLeft: 5,
}
});
The link contains an icon(Material style), follows by the label. The onPress event is registered correctly. However the click area size is very small ie onPress only triggers when pressing on the icon, not the label. I would assume TouchableOpacity covers all nested component?Can I control how wide TouchableOpacity cover?
Thanks
Wrap your <TouchableOpacity/>component in view that has the style you are curenttly assigning on TouchableOpacity like this <View style={MenuItemStyles.ItemWrapper}>
and by adding flex:1 on the <TouchableOpacity/> component it will inherit the size of the <View>
heres a working example of what I think you are trying to accomplish with the solution above implemented:

How to justify (left, right, center) each child independently?

In react native I have:
<View style={styles.navBar}>
<Text>{'<'}</Text>
<Text style={styles.navBarTitle}>
Fitness & Nutrition Tracking
</Text>
<Image source={icon} style={styles.icon}/>
</View>
with these styles:
{
navBar: {
height: 60,
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center',
},
navBarTitle: {
textAlign: 'center',
},
icon: {
height: 60,
resizeMode: 'contain',
},
}
This is the effect I get:
This is the effect I want:
In the first example, the spacing between items is equal.
In the second example, each item is justified differently. The first item is left-justified. The second item is center-justified. The third, right-justified.
This question is similar, but it looks like react native does not support margin: 'auto'. Furthermore, the other answers only work if you only care about left and right justification, but no one really addresses center justification without auto margin.
I am trying to make a navigation bar in react native. The vanilla ios version looks like this:
(source: apple.com)
How do I do something similar? I'm mainly concerned with centering.
One way is to use nested View (flex containers) for 3 different regions and set flex:1 to left and right region
<View style={styles.navBar}>
<View style={styles.leftContainer}>
<Text style={[styles.text, {textAlign: 'left'}]}>
{'<'}
</Text>
</View>
<Text style={styles.text}>
Fitness & Nutrition Tracking
</Text>
<View style={styles.rightContainer}>
<View style={styles.rightIcon}/>
</View>
</View>
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
navBar: {
height: 60,
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: 'blue',
},
leftContainer: {
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'flex-start',
backgroundColor: 'green'
},
rightContainer: {
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'flex-end',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: 'red',
},
rightIcon: {
height: 10,
width: 10,
resizeMode: 'contain',
backgroundColor: 'white',
}
});
You could also set marginLeft: 'auto' to the middle component. It should push it to the right. Also works for React Native

If you're using a NavigationBar from the Navigator module see my question: Changing the default style for a Navigator.NavigationBar (title)
use this
marginLeft: "auto",
marginRight: "auto"

Style width using flex in React Native

I'm working in react native and I'm trying to style a component. I have a view (black border) that wraps two views (A and B). I would like something that looks like this - where I the view that wraps A has a width of about 75% and the view that wraps B has a width of about 25%.
When this component is rendered out as a list, however, what I'm getting is something like this - where the width of the A view is dependent on how much text it holds.
I was able to set the width to a specific amount, but it always seems to change based on the device I test it on (different on iPhone 5, 6, 6 plus, etc.). Therefore I'm trying to use flex styling, but can't seem to get it right. Here is my code for my styling and component structure:
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
title: {
color: '#000',
textAlign: 'left',
fontSize: 80,
},
row: {
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
padding: 0,
height: 180,
borderBottomColor: '#888',
borderBottomWidth: 1,
alignItems: 'stretch'
},
innerContainer: {
flex: 1,
padding: 0,
flexDirection: 'row',
alignItems: 'stretch',
},
sideDivider: {
flex: 0.8,
padding: 0,
backgroundColor: '#cacaca',
justifyContent: 'center'
},
sideDividerArrow: {
flex: 0.2,
padding: 0,
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: 'cyan',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
});
...
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.row} ref={component => this._root = component}>
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this.handleClick.bind(this)}>
<View style={styles.innerContainer}>
<View style={styles.sideDivider}>
<Text style={styles.title}>
{this.state.routeData.busNumber}
</Text>
<Text>{this.state.routeData.fullRoute}</Text>
</View>
<View style={styles.sideDividerArrow}>
<Text>></Text>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
)
}
}
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!!
The flex attribute expects an integer. We cannot use fractions for it.
I guess rendering the following will help you achieve the desired look. You can then add your interactions and clean up the inline styles
<View style ={{flexDirection:'row',flex:1,borderColor:'black',borderWidth:1}}>
<View style ={{flex:3,backgroundColor:'blue',alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
<Text>A</Text>
</View>
<View style ={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'yellow',alignItems:'center',justifyContent:'center'}}>
<Text>B</Text>
</View>
</View>
Your picture has 3 components, but the code actually has more.
The code should work as intended if you do:
- row: flex: 1 (to make sure row is full width) + flexDirection: 'row' (so row children will be left to right).
- A container: flex: 3.
- B container: flex: 1.
At least one of the children of A or B should have a flex: 1 (or any other number) to ensure that children also stretch to fill the parent.
In your case, giving the title and the text components a flex: 1 property will probably do the trick.
Hope this helps!
