How to set auto height for View with Navigator inside? - react-native

Question

I use the default components View and Navigator. Wrapping the Navigator inside a View, I want it to automatically get the height of the content
(Navigator), but if I don't set an explicit height for the View component - the Navigator does not show, as if it had position: absolute.
If I add a Text component inside a View - the View automatically gets the height from the child Text component. But if I set 'height: auto' for View - this property doesn't work.
render() {
return (
<View style={{height: 'auto', backgroundColor: 'powderblue'}}>
<Navigator
initialRoute={{ title: 'My Initial Scene', index: 0 }}
renderScene={(route, navigator) => {
return (
<MyScene title={route.title} />
)
}}
/>
</View>
)
}

Answer 1

style={{height:'auto'}} will not work. You must use an integer or use flex. Here you can see an example of the options.

Your code will look like this:
render() {
return (
<View style={{flex:1, backgroundColor: 'powderblue'}}>
<Navigator
style={{flex:1}}
initialRoute={{ title: 'My Initial Scene', index: 0 }}
renderScene={(route, navigator) => {
return (
<MyScene
title={route.title}
/>
)
}
}
/>
</View>
)
}
