I am a iOS Developer trying to learn React Native. Currently I am trying to figure out how to create a layout like this with FlexBox:
I am not sure how to use relative values for with in react native. When I am trying to implement it I am getting this:
As you can see, the view in the middle cutting the views on the left and right at there center. Any ideas? Here's my code:
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', flex: 1}}>
<SafeAreaView>
<TouchableOpacity style={{left: 20, top: 24, height: 44, width: 44}}>
<Image
source={require('../../assets/images/backButton.png')}
style={{height: '100%', width: '100%'}}
/>
</TouchableOpacity>
</SafeAreaView>
<View style={{flex: 2, backgroundColor: '#FF2F2F'}}></View>
<SafeAreaView>
<Text
style={{
right: 20,
top: 24,
height: 44,
fontSize: 14,
}}>
1 / 6
</Text>
</SafeAreaView>
</View>
The issue here is that you have incorrectly ordered the classes(View, SafeView, etc) which are causing the layout to overlap and preventing you from getting the desired result.
Check my solution proposed below:
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', flex: 1, height: "100%"}}>
<TouchableOpacity style={{height: 44, width: 44, margin: 10}}>
<Image
source={require('../../assets/images/backButton.png')}
style={{height: '100%', width: '100%'}}
/>
</TouchableOpacity>
<View style={{flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#FF2F2F'}}></View>
<Text
style={{
padding: 14,
fontSize: 14,
}}>
1 / 6
</Text>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);

But in react-native, this is my code, the margin doesn't work:
(Allow me to put a picture because I am not very skilled at operating this code editor)
My other attempt:
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', flex: 1, flexWrap: 'wrap'}}>
<Text>12444444444444442222222222222222222222222222222</Text>
<Image source={{uri: url}} style={{width:20,height:20}} />
<Text>1244444444444444222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222</Text>
</View>
But it works very badly
Is this yellow image what you want to do?
You can use it in view
<Text> Your text
<View style={{
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
marginLeft: 5,
marginRight: 5
}}>
<Image source={{uri: url}} style={{width: 20, height: 20,}}/>
</View>
Your text
</Text>
without View use space in same line
<Text>asdasdad {space}<Image source={{uri: url}} style={{width: 20, height: 20,}}/>{space}hasgdjhasd</Text>
Change the rectangular view into quadrilateral view through style
I need to have the quadrilateral background in the view. If it can be done through style, it will be great. Otherwise I've use the image as its background. I dont want to do it however since it wil increase app size as well.
<View>
<Image source={{uri: 'https://previews.123rf.com/images/jaboy/jaboy1706/jaboy170600065/79609763-new-green-light-scenery-background.jpg'}}
style={{width:200, height: 70 }} />
<View style={{ backgroundColor: 'red', padding: 10, paddingTop: 25 }}>
<Text style={styles.red}>just red</Text>
<Text style={styles.bigBlue}>just bigBlue</Text>
<Text style={[styles.bigBlue, styles.red]}>bigBlue, then red</Text>
<Text style={[styles.red, styles.bigBlue]}>red, then bigBlue</Text>
</View>
</View>
how it looks now
how I want it to look like
You can achieve this by using 2 views.
<View>
<View
style={{
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
borderStyle: 'solid',
borderLeftWidth: 200,
borderTopWidth: 30,
borderLeftColor: 'red',
borderTopColor: 'transparent',
}}
/>
<View style={{ height: 70, width: 200, backgroundColor: 'red' }}>
<Text>A</Text>
</View>
</View>
I have been struggling to align two items in the following positions: the first one should be on the left side of the row and the second element needs to be in the center of the row.
The following code below does not fully center my second element:
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between'}}>
<View style={{ paddingLeft: 10 }}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 20, color: 'red', fontWeight: '200' }}>LEFT_ELEM</Text>
</View>
<View style={{paddingRight: 10 }}>
<Text>
CENTER
</Text>
</View>
{/* Empty view so that space-between works? */}
<View
style={{paddingRight: 10 }}>
</View>
</View>
This was the closest I could get to the result I wanted. However, it does not do the trick. Could anyone know the best way to implement this successfully?
You need to add flex: 1 to parent View and children Views (all children will have flex: 1 if you want them all to be of equal size, otherwise define width/flex for each child View individually).
Try this:
<View style={{ flex: 1, flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between' }}>
<View style={{ flex: 1, paddingLeft: 10 }}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 20, color: 'red', fontWeight: '200' }}>LEFT_ELEM</Text>
</View>
<View style={{ flex: 1, paddingRight: 10 }}>
<Text style={{ textAlign:'center' }}>CENTER</Text>
</View>
<View
style={{ flex: 1, paddingRight: 10 }}>
</View>
</View>
Added style={{ textAlign:'center' }} to Text in center View child to give you an idea of its centered position. You can modify/remove it.
When I learned Android, I was told not to use too many 'layers' of components. In that philosophy, I decided to use 'absolute' property to the left element to achieve a simpler result. In this scheme, the 'left' item is almost stick to the left wall.
<View
style={{
height: 50,
flexDirection: 'row', // a must
alignItems: 'center', // to make items center vertically.
justifyContent: 'center' // to make the second item center horizontally.
}}
>
<MaterialIcons
style={[styles.titleIcon, { position: 'absolute', left: 0 }]} // on left, still center vertically.
name='arrow-back'
onPress={() => {
navigation.goBack();
}}
/>
<Text style={styles.titleText}>{result.name}</Text> // on center automatically
</View>
<View style={{flex:1, flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-around'}}>
<View style={{width: 50, height: 50}}>
<Text style={{ fontSize: 20, color: 'red', fontWeight: '200' }}>LEFT_ELEM</Text>
</View>
<View style={{ width: 50, height: 50}}>
<Text>CENTER</Text>
</View>
<View style={{ width: 50, height: 50}}/>
</View>
Trying to replicate the below design but not able to. Will appreciate any help with this.
Code that I tried from my end is as below but the line overwrites the text.
<View>
<View style={{ alignSelf:'center', borderBottomColor:'black', borderBottomWidth:1,height:'50%', width:'90%' }}/>
<Text style={{ alignSelf:'center', paddingHorizontal:5 }}>Your class</Text>
</View>
Made it works this way:
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor: 'black', height: 2, flex: 1, alignSelf: 'center'}} />
<Text style={{ alignSelf:'center', paddingHorizontal:5, fontSize: 24 }}>Your class</Text>
<View style={{backgroundColor: 'black', height: 2, flex: 1, alignSelf: 'center'}} />
</View>
I'm new to react-native and I want to do a page that basically has 2 Views and between them has a rounded Image (like in the image) , i know how to do 2 Views but I don't know how to put the Image there correctly.
This should work:
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<View style={{height: 200, backgroundColor: 'grey'}}></View>
<View style={{flexGrow: 1, backgroundColor: 'black', alignItems: 'center'}}>
<Image
source={require('./icon.png')}
style={{
position: 'absolute',
top: -40,
height: 80,
width: 80}}
/>
</View>
</View>
