I am using React Navigation 5 for my React Native project. I have a drawer navigator nested in tab navigator.
It looks like this:
<Tab.Navigator>
<Tab.Screen name="DrawerStack" component={DrawerStack} />
<Tab.Screen name="Screen2" component={Screen2} />
<Tab.Screen name="Screen3Stack" component={Screen3Stack} />
</Tab.Navigator>
Where DrawerStack is just a Drawer Navigator with bunch of screens.
My question is, what is the simplest way to open the drawer with a button on Screen2 or Screen3?

I have a functional Drawer navigator that holds a Stack navigator as shown below:
function DrawerNavigator() {
return (
<Drawer.Navigator>
<Drawer.Screen
name="Categories"
component={CategoriesScreen}
... />
),
}}
/>
<Drawer.Screen
...
</Drawer.Navigator>
);
}
...
return (
<>
...
<NavigationContainer onReady={onLayoutRootView}>
...
<Stack.Screen
name="MealCategories"
component={DrawerNavigator}
options={{ headerShown: false }}
/>
While in the 'Favorites' screen, which is registered under the Drawer Navigator, when attempting to navigate to 'Categories' page which is registered under Stack navigator (but pointed to using Drawer navigator) using navigation.navigate(), there's no navigation animation.
const buttonPressHandler = () => {
navigation.navigate("Categories");
};
Yup it seems the drawer navigator has no support for screen animation. So it all looks great when using the drawer to navigate. But if navigating through links in the page or actions, theres no navigation animation between screens. Been hunting for hours now and I think its simply not implemented.
I have a Tab Navigator with 3 screens: Home, Camera, and Profile. I then have a stack navigator which references the tab navigator, and have a screen in this stack navigator called Camera2.
const Navigation = () => {
return (
<NavigationContainer>
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name="Home" component={TabNavigator} />
<Stack.Screen name="Camera2" component={Camera2Screen} />
</Stack.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
);
};
const TabNavigator = () => {
return (
<Tab.Navigator backBehavior="history" initialRouteName="Home">
<Tab.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
<Tab.Screen name="ToCamera" component={ToCameraScreen} />
<Tab.Screen name="Profile" component={ProfileScreen} />
</Tab.Navigator>
);
};
Suppose I start at the Home screen, then navigate to the Camera screen by selecting the camera tab. Then in the Camera screen I use navigation.replace("Camera2"). At this point, in the Camera2 screen I would want the navigation history to look like [Home, Camera2] since the Camera screen had been removed from history. However, what I end up seeing is [Camera2].
After doing some research I realized this was happening since the tab navigator acts as a single screen in the stack navigator, so seperate tabs show up as a single screen in navigation history. So if I remove the Camera screen from history it essentially removes all Tab Navigator screens (including the Home screen).
I realize this is the expected behaviour but I was wondering how I can get the desired behaviour.
I'm using React Navigation 5.
At the top I have a Drawer navigator, with the following screens:
<Drawer.Navigator>
<Drawer.Screen name="One" component={StackNavigatorOne} />
<Drawer.Screen name="Two" component={StackNavigatorTwo} />
<Drawer.Screen name="Three" component={StackNavigatorThree} />
<Drawer.Navigator/>
Within StackNavigatorOne, I have a stack navigator,
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen name="Screen1" component={Screen1} />
<Stack.Screen name="Screen2" component={Screen2} />
<Stack.Screen name="Screen2" component={Screen3} />
</Stack.Navigator>
In the StackNavigatorOne, the default order of screens is Screen1, Screen2, and Screen3, so that when this stack navigator is called, it shows Screen1 by default. I don't want to change this order.
However, from the Drawer Navigator, when a user clicks, DrawerScreen One, I want the user to go to Screen2 in StackNavigatorOne. Is it possible to do?
In React Navigation, you can check Nested Navigators.
Select your root component One first and then select the component inside the Stack Navigator.
navigation.navigate('One', {
screen: 'Screen2',
params: {
...
},
});
I assume, Clicking on back will go to your screen from where you navigated. If you want to go to Screen1, use lazy option as false. I've not tested this in drawerNavigator but for bottom navigator we used lazy option as false.
I am building a project in react native. I want to use a bottom tab navigator, but the problem i have is that it automatically shows all screens in the navigator.
I want to hide one of the screens from the bar on the bottom.
Try this on your screen that needs to be hidden
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
<Tab.Navigator>
...
<Tab.Screen
name="screen2"
component={screen2}
options={{ tabBarButton: () => null }}
/>
...
</Tab.Navigator>
I am having nested navigators as below. I am able to achieve the required output ,but the problem is, for each screen i have to add a stack navigator, which seems inefficient.
How to handle it efficiently in React Navigation.
<DrawerNav>
<BottomTabNav>
<StackNav>
<Screen1></Screen1> //Navigation b/w these screens should have a back button
<Screen2></Screen2>
</StackNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
</BottomTabNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
<StackNav></StackNav>
</DrawerNav>
You can create N screens inner DrawerNav or BottomTabNav without stackNavigator
<NavigationContainer>
<Drawer.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
<Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={HomeScreen} />
<Drawer.Screen name="Notifications" component={NotificationsScreen} />
</Drawer.Navigator>
</NavigationContainer>
