I'm currently trying to set a full background image on my login view.
I've used the following code to do so but noticed that Iphone 11 have like a white bar at the bottom and top of the phone. Is this something that can't be overlapped since it's like the navigation?
const Background = styled.ImageBackground`
padding:20px;
justify-content:center;
width:100%;
height:100%;
`
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
});
enter image description here
return <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}><Background source={require('../../assets/images/background-cover.jpg')}>
<CoverLogo width={100} height={100} color={Colors.White} />
<Introduction loop={false}>
<TextHeading text={`#test`} />
<TextPage text={`Btest2`} />
<TextPage text={`Ttest3`} />
<TextPage text={`test4 Sign up !`} />
</Background>
</SafeAreaView>
I'm not sure if this will help with the bottom of the screen, but for the top you can try and set your header style in navigationOptions like so if using react navigation
headerStyle: {
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
left: 0,
right: 0,
borderBottomWidth: 0 // removes the border on the bottom
}
If you follow the SafeArea advice also given in the other answer, then this may be of help too https://reactnavigation.org/docs/handling-safe-area/
Try using :
SafeArea as a parent view, with flex:1
Or maybe have a function to check for iPhone 11/ iPhoneX like that:
isIphoneX: () => {
const dimen = Dimensions.get('window');
const deviceModel = DeviceInfo.getModel();
return (
deviceModel === 'iPhone X' ||
(Platform.OS === 'ios' &&
!Platform.isPad &&
!Platform.isTVOS &&
(dimen.height === 812 ||
dimen.width === 812 ||
dimen.height === 896 ||
dimen.width === 896))
);
},
iPhones Specs
your issue lies in your use of
<SafeAreaView> tag which limits the use of the screen space in ios devices below the notch and just above the lower edge of the screen. The use of SafeAreaView is only visible in the effects only on ios devices.
To resolve your issue I would suggest using the tag <View> instead of <SafeAreaView>
Hi I know it's a known issue about the auto height of webview in react native,
and I have tried all the possibles solutions I've found on the internet such as :
https://gist.github.com/epeli/10c77c1710dd137a1335
https://github.com/danrigsby/react-native-web-container/blob/master/index.js
and all the solutions suggested in:
React native: Is it possible to have the height of a html content in a webview?
But unfortunately none of these seems to work for me,
I understand that the workaround they all suggest is to set the title to the height, but in my case it seems that the title always stays the same which is :
"text/html ...." and the rest of my html.
I get the html content from an API, it comes without a body, head or html tags, I've also tried adding these tags manually to the html and nothing seems to work.
I would love to hear if anyone else had that problem and how did it get fixed.
I wrap WebView inside a View, and set the height from the View.
<View style={{ height: 200 }}>
<WebView
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={false}
source={{uri: 'https://player.vimeo.com/video/24156534?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0'}}
/>
</View>
I just follow this guide: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-webview/blob/master/docs/Guide.md#communicating-between-js-and-native and succeeded in my work. Here is solution:
1. Define script to send document height to native env after loaded website.
2. Handle onMesssage of webview component and reset Height via state.
const webViewScript = `
setTimeout(function() {
window.postMessage(document.documentElement.scrollHeight);
}, 500);
true; // note: this is required, or you'll sometimes get silent failures
`;
...
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
webheight:100,
}
...
<WebView style={{height: this.state.webheight}}
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={false}
scrollEnabled={false}
source={{uri: "http://<your url>"}}
onMessage={event => {
this.setState({webheight: parseInt(event.nativeEvent.data)});
}}
javaScriptEnabled={true}
injectedJavaScript ={webViewScript}
domStorageEnabled={true}
></WebView>
Hope that help!
A reliable implementation of this behavior is with useAutoheight hook from #formidable-webview/webshell library.
The latter allows to inject "features" into WebViews, e.g. scripts and behaviors.
In this example, we will use 3 features + the aforementioned hook:
HandleHTMLDimensionsFeature which is required by useAutoheight hook to get document size updates;
ForceResponsiveViewportFeature to work around mobile virtual viewport;
ForceElementSizeFeature to work around cyclic size constraints
This component should work with any webpage.
import React from 'react';
import makeWebshell, {
HandleHTMLDimensionsFeature,
ForceResponsiveViewportFeature,
ForceElementSizeFeature,
useAutoheight
} from '#formidable-webview/webshell';
import WebView from 'react-native-webview';
const Webshell = makeWebshell(
WebView,
new HandleHTMLDimensionsFeature(),
new ForceResponsiveViewportFeature({ maxScale: 1 }),
new ForceElementSizeFeature({
target: 'body',
heightValue: 'auto',
widthValue: 'auto'
})
);
export default function ResilientAutoheightWebView(props) {
const { autoheightWebshellProps } = useAutoheight({
webshellProps: props
});
return <Webshell {...autoheightWebshellProps} />;
}

Using postMessage and onMessage like below worked for me perfectly.

onWebViewMessage = (event: WebViewMessageEvent) => {
this.setState({webViewHeight: Number(event.nativeEvent.data)})
}
render() {
return (
<ScrollView>
<WebView

source={{html: '...'}}
onMessage={this.onWebViewMessage}
injectedJavaScript='window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(document.body.scrollHeight)'
/>
</ScrollView>
)
}
The WebView has default styles. If you want to set height, you also need to add flex: 0, as stated in the documentation:
Please note that there are default styles (example: you need to add flex: 0 to the style if you want to use height property).
I made a little component to make this functionality reusable if it helps anyone!
import React, { useState } from "react";
import WebView from "react-native-webview";
const DynamicHeightWebView = (props) => {
const [height, setHeight] = useState(0);
const webViewScript = `
setTimeout(function() {
window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(document.documentElement.scrollHeight);
}, 500);
true; // note: this is required, or you'll sometimes get silent failures
`;
return <WebView
{...props}
style={{
...props.style,
height: height,
}}
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={false}
scrollEnabled={false}
onMessage={event => {
setHeight(parseInt(event.nativeEvent.data));
}}
javaScriptEnabled={true}
injectedJavaScript ={webViewScript}
domStorageEnabled={true}
useWebKit={true}
/>
}
export default DynamicHeightWebView;
Apparently the problem was I had javaScriptEnabled={false}.
After enabling it everything worked.
I waste whole day to fix the height issue but in the end I had to shift to another library
This one is easy and good

You can get the content height by injecting the JS code as suggested by #ken-ratanachai-s. Although, You will experience certain irregularities in some devices (Extra height after the content). This is becuase the javascript returns the content height in pixels, but we need to use display points in react native. To fix this, Divide the height from javascript with the pixel ratio as follows.
import { WebView, PixelRatio } from 'react-native'
const [webviewHeight, setWebviewHeight] = useState(0)
const onProductDetailsWebViewMessage = event => {
setWebviewHeight(Number(event.nativeEvent.data)/PixelRatio.get())
}
return <WebView
originWhitelist={['*']}
style={{ height: productDetailsWebviewHeight }}
onMessage={onProductDetailsWebViewMessage}
injectedJavaScript='window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(document.body.scrollHeight)'
source={{ html: "..." }}
/>

I am working on tutorial for React Native navigation. I found out that all layout starts loading from top of screen instead of below of the status bar. This causes most layouts to overlap with the status bar. I can fix this by adding a padding to the view when loading them. Is this the actual way to do it? I don' think manually adding padding is an actual way to solve it. Is there a more elegant way to fix this?
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Navigator } from 'react-native';
export default class MyScene extends Component {
static get defaultProps() {
return {
title : 'MyScene'
};
}
render() {
return (
<View style={{padding: 20}}> //padding to prevent overlap
<Text>Hi! My name is {this.props.title}.</Text>
</View>
)
}
}
Below shows the screenshots before and after the padding is added.
Now you can use SafeAreaView which is included in React Navigation:
<SafeAreaView>
... your content ...
</SafeAreaView>
There is a very simple way to fix this. Make a component.
You can create a StatusBar component and call it first after the first view wrapper in your parent components.
Here is the code for the one I use:
'use strict'
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import {View, Text, StyleSheet, Platform} from 'react-native';
class StatusBarBackground extends Component{
render(){
return(
<View style={[styles.statusBarBackground, this.props.style || {}]}> //This part is just so you can change the color of the status bar from the parents by passing it as a prop
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
statusBarBackground: {
height: (Platform.OS === 'ios') ? 18 : 0, //this is just to test if the platform is iOS to give it a height of 18, else, no height (Android apps have their own status bar)
backgroundColor: "white",
}
})
module.exports= StatusBarBackground
After doing this and exporting it to your main component, call it like this:
import StatusBarBackground from './YourPath/StatusBarBackground'
export default class MyScene extends Component {
render(){
return(
<View>
<StatusBarBackground style={{backgroundColor:'midnightblue'}}/>
</View>
)
}
}
I tried a more simple way for this.
We can get the height of Status Bar on android and use SafeAreaView along with it to make the code work on both platforms.
import { SafeAreaView, StatusBar, Platform } from 'react-native';
If we log out Platform.OS and StatusBar.currentHeight we get the logs,
console.log('Height on: ', Platform.OS, StatusBar.currentHeight);
Height on: android 24 and
Height on: android 24
We can now optionally add margin/padding to our container view using
paddingTop: Platform.OS === "android" ? StatusBar.currentHeight : 0
The final code in App.js is below:
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: "#fff" }}>
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>Hello World</Text>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
backgroundColor: "#fff",
paddingTop: Platform.OS === "android" ? StatusBar.currentHeight : 0
}
});
#philipheinser solution does work indeed.
However, I would expect that React Native's StatusBar component will handle that for us.
It doesn't, unfortunately, but we can abstract that away quite easily by creating our own component around it:
./StatusBar.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, StatusBar, Platform } from 'react-native';
// here, we add the spacing for iOS
// and pass the rest of the props to React Native's StatusBar
export default function (props) {
const height = (Platform.OS === 'ios') ? 20 : 0;
const { backgroundColor } = props;
return (
<View style={{ height, backgroundColor }}>
<StatusBar { ...props } />
</View>
);
}
./index.js
import React from 'react';
import { View } from 'react-native';
import StatusBar from './StatusBar';
export default function App () {
return (
<View>
<StatusBar backgroundColor="#2EBD6B" barStyle="light-content" />
{ /* rest of our app */ }
</View>
)
}
Before:
After:
The react-navigation docs have a great solution for this. First off, they recommend not to use the SafeAreaView included with React Native because:
While React Native exports a SafeAreaView component, it has some
inherent issues, i.e. if a screen containing safe area is animating,
it causes jumpy behavior. In addition, this component only supports
iOS 10+ with no support for older iOS versions or Android. We
recommend to use the react-native-safe-area-context library to handle
safe areas in a more reliable way.
Instead, they recommend react-native-safe-area-context - with which it would look like this:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Navigator } from 'react-native';
import { useSafeArea } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
export default function MyScene({title = 'MyScene'}) {
const insets = useSafeArea();
return (
<View style={{paddingTop: insets.top}}>
<Text>Hi! My name is {title}.</Text>
</View>
)
}
I would like to note that it's probably a better idea to use the SafeAreaView that this library offers though, since phones these days may also have elements at the bottom that can overlap UI elements. It all depends on your app of course. (For more detail on that, see the react-navigation docs I linked to in the beginning.)
Here is a way that works for iOS:
<View style={{height: 20, backgroundColor: 'white', marginTop: -20, zIndex: 2}}>
<StatusBar barStyle="dark-content"/></View>
You can handle this by adding a padding to you navigation bar component or just ad a view that has the same hight as the statusbar at the top of your view tree with a backgroundcolor like the facebook app does this.
Just Simple User React native Default StatusBar to achieve this funcationality.
<View style={styles.container}>
<StatusBar backgroundColor={Color.TRANSPARENT} translucent={true} />
<MapView
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE} // remove if not using Google Maps
style={styles.map}
region={{
latitude: 37.78825,
longitude: -122.4324,
latitudeDelta: 0.015,
longitudeDelta: 0.0121,
}}
/>
</View>
If you combine SaveAreaView and StatusBar, you get it.
https://reactnative.dev/docs/statusbar
https://reactnative.dev/docs/safeareaview
Just do this:
<SafeAreaView>
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<StatusBar translucent={false} backgroundColor="#fff" />
// Your dark magic here
</View>
</SafeAreaView>

Hi, I have imported status bar from "react-native" and called it at the end of block with status bar style set to auto and it worked for me, the code below is for reference:
import { SafeAreaView,Button, StyleSheet, Text, TextInput, View } from 'react-native';
import { StatusBar } from 'react-native';
export default function App() {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.appContainer}>
<View >
<TextInput placeholder='Add your course goal' />
<Button title="Add Goals" />
</View>
<View>
<Text>List of goals..</Text>
</View>
<StatusBar style="auto" />
</SafeAreaView>
);
}
I have this issue in both iOS Simulator and in real device too.
I have a Listview with Touchablehighlight. When i press the list at first, it ignores. It only functions when it is double clicked.Can anyone help me out with this.
Here i have a piece of code, that is inside my render function
<ListView dataSource= {ds.cloneWithRows(this.state.searchedAdresses)}
renderRow={this.renderAdress}
renderSeparator={this._renderSeperator}
enableEmptySections={true}
automaticallyAdjustContentInsets={false}
/>
renderAdress = (rowData, sectionID, rowID) => {
return (
<TouchableHighlight onPress = {this._onPressAddressList.bind(this,rowData.place_id,rowData.description)}underlayColor = '#a9a9a9' >
<View shouldRasterizeIOS={true} renderToHardwareTextureAndroid={true}>
<Text style={ styles.listTextInput } >{rowData.description</Text>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
);};
Thank you
I can think of 2 cases:
You have TextInput gaining the focus and when you tap your list view item the first time it removes focus from the input and hides the keyboard. This is described here.
They reported that this is an issue with emulator.
