I am trying to implement a UI layout similar to google maps "explore" on Android, (see gif) in React Native.
In my UI design I have app navigation tabs at the bottom of the screen, with a full page map background, overlaid with a "bottom sheet" coming from above the tabs, and a search box component at the top. See UI sketch below.
I have found various react-native ui components which look useful, but I can't figure out the styling to arrange them in the layout I want.
Several of the bottomsheet components I'm looking at, for example, rn-bottom-drawer show gifs similar to what I'm trying to create, e.g this animation, but I can't find an actual code example of how that UI was created. For example, the same library example just shows the bottom drawer over an empty screen.
What combination of wrapping elements and styles would allow me to create the layout described? I come from a XAML background and this kind of layout is very easy to create, but I can't get my head around how to do it in react native.
It is halfway possible with the component "react-native-swipe-up-down".
The swipe up above the App works, but it is really buggy. Had the same problem as you and couldn't find anything better than swipe-up-down til today.

First and most important: I am by no means a developer. We hired an agency to develop an APP for us, and i was given by a developed solution that i am not convinced if it is the best solution, So i would like to ask you guysfor advice.
Unfortunatelly i cannot put pictures nor links to code for the app, but i will do my best to explain myself:
The problems i encountered are mainly two:
All items appear to have fixed sizes applyed to them: When testing the app on different devices, the size of the elements is not responsive at all. In fact on small devices (Moto G5) There are elements that fall behind the bottom navigation bar making them unaccessible.
Lot of stuff fall below that said bottom navigation bar.
My question is the following:
Is react native responsive?
In web development there is a lot of flexibility when it comes to responsiveness with CSS and JS. Is React native any different? or there is a way to prepare the layout so it fits most of the common sizes without losing acces to interactions?
Hope i explained myself correctly. and again, sorry for not asking a technical specific question.
React Native is designed to be responsive, but it requires a different approach compared to web development. In web development, you can use CSS and JavaScript to make your website responsive, but in React Native, you use a different set of tools.
We have many ways to make the app responsive with the device's large screen and small screen.
Use the Dimensions API: React Native provides the Dimensions API, which allows you to get the dimensions of the screen at runtime. You can use this information to adjust the layout of your app based on the size of the screen.
Use third-party libraries ex: react-native-size-matters, react-native-responsive-screen, ...
Use Flexbox: React Native uses Flexbox for layout, just like web development. Flexbox is a powerful tool for creating responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes. You can use the flex property to adjust the size and position of elements on the screen.
In terms of your specific issue with elements falling behind the bottom navigation bar, it's likely that the layout is not taking the height of the navigation bar into account. You can use the Dimensions API to get the height of the navigation bar and adjust the layout accordingly.
I want to have a scrollable (with snap points) react native navigation stack screen(presentation: "modal") in my app. I don't want anything like "react-native-modal" library or official Modal from react native library. I want an actual screen with modal behaviour and I can achieve that with presentation: "modal" property but I want it to have snap points. Perfect example would be the iOS fitness app.
So this is the screen when you initially press upload button. As you can see it takes maybe 40% - 50% height of the screen
If you scroll down height expands and it acts as ordinary screen with presentation: "modal"
And lastly if you scroll back up it springs back to its original position and it acts as a modal(no gap at the top of the screen as in second image)
That is the behaviour I am looking for.
If it is possible I would like to get similar behaviour on android as well.
I tried to implement that behaviour with "react-native-modal" and official Modal from "react-native" components but I want to have it as a separate screen. I also want it to feel "native like" and with these stuff it doesn't feel that way.
You may try this library react-native-simple-bottom-sheet
I'm looking for a solution, if possible a library or a custom component, for React Native, without Expo.
I need to create a video frame that is movable in the screen, up and down, and cover the content. I also need to make it possible to click on the content behind it.
Another difficulty is that I need it to stay up on all screens during navigation.
I first tried to use reanimated-bottom-sheet with some increments, but the content behind the bottom is not clickable. Also, to make it available on all screens I needed to put in at the same level as React Navigation's BottomTabNavigator and it covers the tab bar too even with a zIndex.
I also tried to use modals, but I'm relatively new to React Native and couldn't find how to make the background touchable as well as making it movable.
I guess I need to make a view with absolute positionning and learn Reanimated, unless you have a simpler idea?
Thanks
The Yelp app for iOS is designed such that after you enter and send a search query, something like this comes up:
The screen consists of a map control in the background, with a screen on top displaying a list view that you can swipe up/down depending on whether you want to see the list/map (respectively).
How would something like this be accomplished using React Native? For example, would the React Navigation or React Native Swiper libraries help me superimpose a list view on top of the map control?
You can use PanResponder.

The Google Spaces app had a raised bump in its bottom navigation. I kinda liked the look but I'm not sure how best to recreate it using React Native.
I'm assuming it would be something like adding an image above the navbar to show the bump but that doesn't seem right since the actual button in the navbar wouldn't extend into the curved area.
Here's a link to an image of the navbar in question:
