I have an app here where I need to put the logo in the navbar. That need to overflow the scene layout. Work well in Ios with no problem but in android seem like he not working. I put the code at the bottom of the images. As you can see I use EStyleSheet so that let me use %.
IOS
Android
import React from 'react';
import { Scene, Router } from 'react-native-router-flux';
import EStyleSheet from 'react-native-extended-stylesheet';
import { View, Platform } from 'react-native';
import { SmallLogo } from './components';
import { checkColor } from './helpers';
import {
HomeScreen,
ImagePickerScreen,
WaitingResponseScreen,
ResultsScreen
} from './modules';
import Colors from '../constants/Colors';
const styles = EStyleSheet.create({
navStyle: {
flex: 1,
marginTop: '5%',
alignItems: 'center',
},
logoCircle: {
backgroundColor: '$whiteColor',
height: 60,
width: 60,
borderRadius: 30,
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center'
}
});
const logoNav = result => (
<View style={styles.navStyle}>
<View style={styles.logoCircle}>
<SmallLogo color={checkColor(result)} />
</View>
</View>
);
const pdTop = Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 64 : 54;
export default () => (
<Router
sceneStyle={{ paddingTop: pdTop }}
navigationBarStyle={{ backgroundColor: Colors.greenColor }}
renderTitle={props => {
if (props.result) {
return logoNav(props.result);
}
return logoNav(null);
}}
backButtonTextStyle={{ color: Colors.whiteColor }}
leftButtonIconStyle={{ tintColor: Colors.whiteColor }}
>
<Scene
key="home"
component={HomeScreen}
/>
<Scene
key="imagesPicker"
hideBackImage
component={ImagePickerScreen}
/>
<Scene
key="waitingResponse"
backTitle="Back"
component={WaitingResponseScreen}
/>
<Scene
key="results"
backTitle="Back"
initial
component={ResultsScreen}
/>
</Router>
);
In Android you cannot draw outside of the component's boundaries, which is a very annoying thing. I usually do the following as a workaround: Wrap your component in a new <View> that wraps both the former container and the overflowing data. Set the view backgroundColor to 'transparent' so that it is invisible, and the pointerEvents prop to 'box-none', so that events get propagated to children. The dimensions of the view should be those of the former top component plus the overflow (in your case, it is just the height), but I think this should also work with Flexbox nicely in some circumstances.
This is as pretty epic known issue.
Following up on martinarroyo's answer.
Unfortunately he's right, currently there's no real better way, however, react-native 0.41 (not stable yet) promises to add android support for overflow: visible which is great news, because the workaround isn't all that fun...
