I have been looking for react native modules in which indeterminate progress bars are implemented. I need it for when I show it as feedback when a user logs on to my application and the promise arrives. I have tried some but I would like to get one with a good design
for example https://github.com/naoufal/react-native-progress-hud
this is not maintainable
Maybe you need ActivityIndicator?

Also there are many community libraries.

In the image above, I would like to know which library I can use to achieve the stories on the first screen and also, which library can I use to switch between the Current News, World News, and Politics. Also is there a way to put the status progress bar on the third screen? Thanks in advance!
to achieve the news tabs, you can use react-native-tab-view, it is highly customizable and highly reliable, the second screen is what we call the Two Layered UI and can be easily achieved by using the react-native-panhandler. The third screen is an example of the react-native-pager-view. There are lot of examples of these libraries as well as extensive documentations, All the best!
first time asking here as i am looking for some guidance before i start coding.
I have been developing websites mostly in PHP/MySQL/Jquery for years. As I was requested to port a website to an app, I selected React Native in order not to learn 2 different languages for IOS-Android.
I subscribed to some react native lessons, as I found it very clear and fun to follow, and it indeed is.
But here I am finding that to replicate the website is a truly difficult task for me. A temporary version exists at https://app.thallo.care/app.php?language=en (view on mobile if you like). There are many fixed positioned things and floating menus that i cannot easily program on react native.
I tried webview, it works wonderfully, but i am not positive i will be able to implement notifications the way i want to, or custom app styling with inject javascript i am unsure it will work.
The only app difference comparing to the desktop version, is that the user will receive notifications. The website will have a calendar where he will add events, and i need to send notifications to the user device on the event datetime that he has set.
Now the question... Should i use webview and manage notifications on a third party app like amazon SNS or anything else, will i get per-user notifications on events with webview? (I dont need to open a specific page on the app, but it would be nice). Or should i insist on react native coding and try to replicate as much as possible, to be able to have proper notifications? Reminder - the events won't be sent by the app. they are stored in MySQL and should be stored on some other service as well (that i dont know of yet). I don't know also if the webview can handle the website programmed login-logout with $_SESSION php parameters.
I would really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance,
On Android, toast notifications work differently to UWP. It simply shows a little black popup message over the top of the app. In UWP, toast notifications are indistinguishable from push notifications from the user perspective. Is there a standardized way in UWP to simply show a quick notification inside the app that will disappear after a few seconds and not interfere with the user's experience? I mean without it looking like the user has received a push notification?
This article doesn't seem to hint at anything like what I am talking about.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/tiles-badges-notifications
The UWP Toolkit provides an InAppNotifications control for this.
http://www.uwpcommunitytoolkit.com/en/master/controls/InAppNotification/
In many cases, the Snackbar class supersedes Toast. While Toast is currently still supported, Snackbar is now the preferred way to display brief, transient messages to the user.
Take a look at Showing Pop-Up Messages to find out the most common use cases.
We ended up building something as part of our Xamarin UI library to handle this.
The code can be found here:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation/blob/master/Adapt.Presentation.UWP/Adapt/Presentation/UWP/InAppNotification.xaml.cs
There is a sample in this repo:
https://github.com/MelbourneDeveloper/Adapt.Presentation.git
Note: the same is for Xamarin Forms, but if you crack the code open, you'll be able to figure out how to use this for any UWP app.
As far as I've searched it appears to be impossible to load modules (=plugins/libraries?) dynamically (I'm very new to React Native..).
What I'd like to accomplish is to let the user of the app load additional functions as she/he desires.
Example:
A user wants to add a music plugin to the app.
Intuitively, I'd long for something like dynamic library loading. The user would fetch the library, it'll be loaded into the code and can then be executed. However, in React Native it seems like there are only modules that can be loaded?
Alternatively, I'd hope that auto-updating the app would allow to add modules "on-the-fly" ( https://github.com/aerofs/react-native-auto-updater or www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-hot-load ). But I fear that this is only for JS and data content?
The ability to dynamically add functionality to the app is an essential part of the app. I have no previous experience worth mentioning in mobile app development.
Question: Is it possible to dynamically add functionality (also native in nature) to React Native apps?
If not, would there be a workaround?
EDIT: I have found the following repository on github: https://github.com/yusefnapora/react-dynamic-linking-example .
Unfortunately, without any description. I have no idea about Objective-C, but the repo name sounds promising. Anybody knows what its purpose is?
I'm building in FlashDevlop as pure AS3.
I'm looking at building a kiosk that uses two screens. Its used to administer tests. So one screen has the test, second the controls for admin the test. I have played with wide app but its not very elegant and I really would like both screens to run full screen on each screen. Is it possible to have one air app spawn two native air windows? A secondary question is it possible to detect multiple screens and target a screen to full screen to? Even something as simple as checking the window size to detect would work, im just not sure I can move and if the low level api will fullscreen on that screen. I could not find any examples of this in the docs.
What docs did you look into? I found it right away.
You'll need the Screen class if you want information on the screens that are connected to the PC. And here's some documentation on using it.
To create new windows, just instantiate a new NativeWindow class and call activate() on it when you're done configuring.
There's a lot of other useful stuff for you in the flash.display package. All the AIR stuff is marked with a little AIR icon. I have to admit that it would have been easier to find if they had put these classes in a separate AIR package.
