solve view overflow in android
npm install react-native-view-overflowThis library will be useful for React Native versions below v0.57. For v0.57 and beyond, React Native supports Android overflow natively from this commit.
The problem is that a parent View in Android will clip the content of children Views (react-native)
This solves the problem of Overflow on Android (check this https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/16951)
This could make code simpler, so you don't need to move some Components outside parents to make layout work
You can read more about the motivation and this package here https://medium.com/@sibelius/solving-view-overflow-in-android-reactnative-f961752a75cd
$ npm install react-native-view-overflow --save
#### Otherwise, if you are using react-native <0.60.0
$ npm install react-native-view-overflow --save
$ react-native link react-native-view-overflow
javascript
import ViewOverflow from 'react-native-view-overflow';
`Usage with Flatlist
To make this work with FlatList and related components you need to replace CellRendererComponent with ViewOverflow, for example:`jsx
data={this.state.data}
keyExtractor={item => item.id}
CellRendererComponent={ViewOverflow}
renderItem={({ item, index }) => (
// item....
)}
/>
`Usage with Animated Views
To make this work in place of an Animated.View, you need to use Animated.createAnimatedComponent to create an animatable version of ViewOverflow. For example:`
import ViewOverflow from 'react-native-view-overflow';
const AnimatedViewOverflow = Animated.createAnimatedComponent(ViewOverflow);
`You can then use
AnimatedViewOverflow in place of Animated.View.$3
1. Open up
android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java
- Add import com.entria.views.RNViewOverflowPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
- Add new RNViewOverflowPackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method
2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:
`
include ':react-native-view-overflow'
project(':react-native-view-overflow').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-view-overflow/android')
`
3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:
