Custom input box styling in react-native-elements - react-native

Being new to react-native, I am trying to style my input fields using react-native-elements to look similar to their example ones (Example).
Even after going through the source code for the example I still can't seem to figure out where I would start when it comes to customizing these fields to that extent.

As a heads up for anyone else looking to do the same thing, I ended up using this library to make nicer looking animated input fields. It isn't quite the same as what I had originally planned, but if you're in the same scenario as I was, I definitely recommend taking a look.

rendering different screen based on input by the user React Native

Hello fellow programmers, i wanted to ask how can i achieve different screen rendering based on input by the user. I have done it in one way but i want to know is there any better way to do?
Attached is the link to snack on expo. You can run it and see the code of how i have done it.
If there are better alternates, please let me know.
Thankyou.
please dont mark the question as duplicate before going throught it.
For better choice you can using react-navigation https://reactnavigation.org/docs/auth-flow/ This package work in Expo
The example you posted looks mostly like something I would use conditional rendering techniques for like the && syntax
See here for more guidance:
https://reactjs.org/docs/conditional-rendering.html
If your pages are dramatically different though (not just options flipping on and off) then I would recommend react navigation as giri commented.

Running Text as Breaking News animation in React-Native?

I'm new in React-Native Animation.
I want to create Running Text like Running Text in Breaking News.
Appreciate for any help.
I don't know whether you want to create the animation on your own or just use existing components. If you just need the animation, try importing components like react-native-marquee or react-native-marquee-label.
If you want to understand how it's done and want to implement it yourself, just have a look at the source codes of those projects, e. g. this one.

How can I allow the user to style font in NSTextView using interface buttons in xcode?

In short:
I am trying to find information about text styling inside an NSTextView. Bold, italics, indentation, making a word completely uppercase and setting backdrop colors to certain lines.
Any and all info is welcome. I've been looking around the web for docs on the subject and only managed to find a few things that seem to be part of an iphone framework. I'm sure there must be something out there and that I'm just searching for the wrong words.
A few details:
I am not a developer. I am a motion graphics artist and screenwriter. I do know html, php, javascript, css and several scripting languages (all very similar to javascript) used by different graphics apps.
I am not very proficient in objective-c but I've taken up writing a screenwriting app as a bit of a side project. I've been teaching myself objective-c from a book call Cocoa Programming for Mac OSX and using the code I've created from the examples in the book to create my app using Xcode. Styling text was not covered and I am at a loss as to how to approach it.
Screenplays have very specific formats. Using css I could create this format easily so my first thought was to find out if text inside a NSTextview can have css applied to it. I've not found anything that could answer this. Of course I am probably way off with this approach.
Again, any help or anyone who can point me in the right direction would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks!

You can't do this because it only accept one style.
You have to deal with UIWebView Tutorial for this and use your CSS.
Or you can use some code like EGOTextView. I do not test this but I think it will be the easiest way for you.

Identify the Content Carousel

Can anybody identify the carousel used on this site? It seems to work seamlessly with responsive sites and would with little css changes suit my design perfectly. The source shows something called anchorScroll.js but a search comes up with nothing.
It's a custom solution and not a plugin. Look for Application_NewsSpinner in http://cdn12.grohe.com/application/resources/javascript/scripts/common.js at line :1072
But don't steal code! It's fine to get inspired but you should find your own solution or take an official plugin! Take a look at http://finnrudolph.de/ImageFlow or http://www.jcoverflip.com/demo

Very confused by a binding issue between a Cocoa app and a Movie Loader patch in Quartz Composer

I've been programming for a while, but just recently decided to start developing for Mac OS X. I feel like I've come to grips with the basics of Objective-C and Cocoa development over the past week. I'm planning on making graphics apps, and as such am currently in the process of learning how to control Quartz compositions through a Cocoa app. I went through the tutorial that apple offers (with the Mac Engravings composition), and was able to create that just fine. In order to make sure that I truly understood what I learned, I decided to create my own composition and link it to a slightly more complicated Cocoa application.
Essentially, I have a composition that loads a movie or image through a Movie Loader patch, at which point it applies various filters to the frames before outputting it. In my Cocoa app, I've written code (or rather copied and pasted from other apple examples) that lets a user pick a file using an NSOpenPanel object. The filepath of the file they pick gets placed in a text-box that I placed in the app's window using Interface Builder. I binded the value of said text-box to the "Movie_Location" key in my composition, which is a published input in the Movie Loader patch that I'm using. However, no matter what I do, movies and images aren't loaded into this composition no matter what I try. The only thing that gets displayed is the default image that I have saved in that input from Quartz Composer (or nothing if I leave it blank before publishing).
I've added a Clear Color patch to the composition and binded that to a colorwell in my UI, and that successfully changes the color in my display, so I know that the composition and my Cocoa app are communicating. I've spent numerous hours at this point trying to figure out what's going on, and I've just about given up. Does the Movie Loader have any weird behaviors that I'm not aware of, or is there something obvious that I seem to be missing? I'd really appreciate any help or advice from anybody.
Thanks for reading through this...
Best,
Sami
There are two things I can think of as reasons why it is doing this:
The file path isn't formatted incorrectly. Try checking backslashes, colons, etc.
The box isn't updating the value. Try literally clicking in the text field and hitting enter.
That's all I can think of without seeing your quartz composition and/or code.
EDIT:
Check the other continuous box, in the general properties.
I figured this out yesterday. spudwaffle's second idea is what was going on. If I were to type a filepath in and hit enter, it would work just fine. I got this to work properly by just removing the bind and instead using the setValue:keyInPath: function that a patch controller offers. That said, is there some way to force a text-box to update? I remember seeing a "continuously update" or something like that button within the bind sub-menu in the inspector, but my code didn't work with that checked either.
Thanks to those of you that tried to help me! I really appreciate it.
Best,
Sami
