ViewsTransparent overlay in React Native
I'm trying to get a transparent overlay sliding down in an app, pretty much like this here (all/filter-by):
So far I found react-native-slider and react-native-overlay. I modified the slider to work from top to bottom, but it always moves down the ListView as well. If using react-native-overlay, the overlay is static and I can't move it.
I added some demo code from the original react-native tutorial in this gist. When clicking the button, the content should stick, and the menu should overlay. The transparency is not that important right now but would be awesome.
What would be the smartest solution?

The key to your ListView not moving down, is to set the positioning of the overlay to absolute. By doing so, you can set the position and the width/height of the view manually and it doesn't follow the flexbox layout anymore. Check out the following short example. The height of the overlay is fixed to 360, but you can easily animate this or make it dynamic.
'use strict';
var React = require('react-native');
var Dimensions = require('Dimensions');
// We can use this to make the overlay fill the entire width
var { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');
var {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
Text,
View,
} = React;
var SampleApp = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.welcome}>
Welcome to the React Native Playground!
</Text>
<View style={[styles.overlay, { height: 360}]} />
</View>
);
}
});
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
},
welcome: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: 'center',
margin: 10,
},
// Flex to fill, position absolute,
// Fixed left/top, and the width set to the window width
overlay: {
flex: 1,
position: 'absolute',
left: 0,
top: 0,
opacity: 0.5,
backgroundColor: 'black',
width: width
}
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('SampleApp', () => SampleApp);
module.exports = SampleApp;

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Image, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
export default class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<Image source={{uri: 'http://i.imgur.com/IGlBYaC.jpg'}} style={s.backgroundImage}>
<View style={s.overlay}/>
</Image>
);
}
}
const s = StyleSheet.create({
backgroundImage: {
flex: 1,
width: null,
height: null,
},
overlay: {
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
right: 0,
bottom: 0,
left: 0,
backgroundColor: 'red',
opacity: 0.3
}
});

You can use this example for create overlay.You can change state for visible and invisible for overlay.
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from "react-native";
class Popup extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {
isPopupTrue: true
};
}
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
{ this.state.isPopupTrue &&
(<View style={styles.overlay}>
<View style={styles.popup}>
<Text style={styles.text}> Overlay </Text>
</View>
</View>)
}
</View>
);
}
}
export const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex:1,
backgroundColor: "#c0d6e4"
},
overlay: {
position: "absolute",
top: 0,
right: 0,
bottom: 0,
left: 0,
justifyContent: "center",
alignItems: "center",
backgroundColor: "gray",
opacity: 0.9,
},
text: {
width: "20%",
fontSize: 15,
color: "black",
fontWeight: "bold"
},
});
