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.

I have a FlatList in React Native with fullscreen image and video items (with pagingEnabled). I want to have a short descriptive touchable text floating on top of the FlatList, to open up a view with some information about the image/video when pressed.
To make the user experience nice, I'd like to be able to scroll the FlatList through the touchable text as well. I.e. if the user happen to start their scrolling motion on top of the text, the FlatList would scroll but if it is a simple press event I'd like to open the view with details about the image/video.
No mater what I try I end up with either the text being able to react to the press OR the FlatList being able to scroll. I have tried different configurations with a custom PanResponder and pointerEvents but seem to always end up with a state were one thing does not work. Do you guys have any smart ideas? I am probably just stuck in the wrong train of thought.
This is a simplified view of my component structure:
<View>
<View style={{ position: 'absolute', bottom: 100, zIndex: 10 }}>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => console.log('press')}>
<Text>Some Descriptive Text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
<FlatList pagingEnabled horizontal {...otherFlatListProps} />
</View>
I am having an issue with React Native, #react-navigation/stack and headerMode='screen'. I have a screen with the header hidden. On iOS, in that specific view, when I perform some scrolling or even do the "pull gesture" from top to bottom, an extra margin / padding appears on top of the view.
This is how I define my screen in the navigation:
<Stack.Screen
name="AddressInput"
component={AddressInput}
options={{
headerShown: false,
}}
/>
My AddressInput component is like:
<SafeAreaView sx={{ flexDirection: 'column', flex: 1 }}>
<KeyboardAwareScrollView
contentContainerStyle={{
padding: theme.space[3],
flexGrow: 1,
}}
ref={scrollRef}
keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
>
<Form
validationSchema={validationSchema}
initialValues={initialValues}
fields={fields}
>
<AddressFormFields/>
</Form>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
</SafeAreaView>
This works perfectly fine on Android. The header is hidden and the UI works as expected. But on iOS, when I perform scrolling on the view (or even pull down once from the top), an extra padding appears on top of the view and I have no idea why! I am not expecting this to happen.
I've tried dozens of various tricks and measures to find out the cause, but no success. Also referred to the official docs for hours. Any hints?
Attached images. On the second one you can see the text field has some padding compared to the other pic, but that only comes present after performing some scrolling.
(OK) after navigating to screen, but before scrolling
(NOT OK) after scrolling, some extra padding appears on top
Is it possible to extend the tab view (image) all the way to the top of the screen and have the tab bar overlay it? Tab bars' backgroundColor is "transparent". Using createMaterialTopTabNavigator from React Navigation v3. There seems to have been something along the lines of displayUnderTabBar option in the earlier versions but I can't seem to find it in the documentation anywhere.
What you do is create a custom component for the tabs and position it absolutely over the screens.
<Tab.Navigator tabBar={props => <MyCustomComponent {...props} />}>
{...}
</Tab.Navigator>
Check out the example of a custom tabBar component here.
In the above example, make the positioned absolutely to top. Note that if you do this, however, you will need to change TouchableOpacity to TouchableWithoutFeedback because of the problem noted in this question question.
In order to do this, following styles need to be applied to the custom Tab Bar component that's passed in to the createMaterialTopTabNavigator:
style={{
...
position: "absolute",
zIndex: 1,
width: '100%'
...
}}>
I'm new to React-native and I've a very simple(at least i think so) problem.
I've an ImageBackground with resizeMode='contain', now I would like to have the background positioned to the top of the container...
<ImageBackground style={styles.imageBackground} source={backgroundImage} resizeMode='contain'>
... some content
</ImageBackground>
The image is rendered in the right way, but the problem is that it is vertically centered, instead I would like to have it top aligned...
This is an example of the result of my ImageBackground
This is an example of the result with the bottom added to ImageStyle
In the ImageBackground component, the image isn't vertically centered, rather it is positioned absolutely to fill the container. You can check the source here. The reason it's appearing vertically centered is probably because of the resizeMode contain. To top align it, you can make user of the prop imageStyle that you can set to something like this:
<ImageBackground
imageStyle={{
bottom: 40 // Whatever offset you want from the bottom
}}
/>
I have TextInput at the bottom of the screen. When TextInput is focused then keyboard appears and due to this all the flex view gets shrink to the available screen. I want to achieve that page layout should not change and input should be visible to user.
<View style={MainView}>
<View style={subMain1}>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#add264'}}></View>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#b7d778'}}></View>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#c2dd8b'}}></View>
</View>
<View style={subMain2}>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#cce39f'}}></View>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#d6e9b3'}}></View>
<View style={{flex:1,backgroundColor:'#69ee9a'}}>
<TextInput placeholder="input field"/>
</View>
</View>
</View>
const Styles = {
MainView:{
flex:1,
backgroundColor:'green'
},
subMain1:{
flex:1,
backgroundColor:'blue'
},
subMain2:{
flex:1,
backgroundColor:'orange'
}
}
I just found an answer to this.
I just have to use fixed height for my main container and inside that I can use flex layout. And If keyboard is hiding the content then we can use Scrollview that will allow scrollable interface when user clicks on input.
This helped me hope it can help others. :)
I'm not quite sure I understand what the issue you're running into, but I recently struggled with keyboard avoiding views in my app - for some reason, the native component just wasn't working.
Check this package out - it did the trick for me, and offers some cool customization capabilities:
https://github.com/APSL/react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view
Use 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view' and keep this as parent view and put all view inside that view. This node module creates scrollview and it listens to keyboard show event and automatically scrolls your screen so user can see the input box without getting it hidden behind the soft keyboard.
