React Native Splash Screen

Splash Screen is a view which contains Text or Images that shows when the app first starts. It is used when the mobile app requires essential information before its start. The application may load the information from some external API or local storage.
Without that information, the application may not be able to display the user interface. For example, the application requires checking whether the user is authorized and deciding which screen is to display.



The Splash Screen will automatically hide after a few seconds (3-5) from the screen and display when the application starts next time.

Splash Screen Example

  1. Import Platform, StyleSheet, View, Text, Image, TouchableOpacity, and Alert components in your project.
  2. Create constructor() in the project and make a Boolean type state named as isVisible and set its default value true. This state is used to show and hide the Splash screen.
  3. Create a function named as Hide_Splash_Screen(). It changes the state value as false.
  4. Create componentDidMount() method in your class. It is an inbuilt method and called when the app fully loaded. In the same method, we can use the setTimeout() JavaScript function to change the state after a given time.
App.js

  1. import React, { Component } from 'react';  
  2.  import { Platform, StyleSheet, View, Text,  
  3.  Image, TouchableOpacity, Alert } from 'react-native';  
  4.  export default class Myapp extends Component<{}>  
  5. {  
  6.    constructor(){  
  7.      super();  
  8.      this.state={  
  9.      isVisible : true,  
  10.     }  
  11.   }  
  12.    Hide_Splash_Screen=()=>{  
  13.     this.setState({   
  14.       isVisible : false   
  15.     });  
  16.   }  
  17.    
  18.   componentDidMount(){  
  19.     var that = this;  
  20.     setTimeout(function(){  
  21.       that.Hide_Splash_Screen();  
  22.     }, 5000);  
  23.    }  
  24.    
  25.     render()  
  26.     {  
  27.         let Splash_Screen = (  
  28.              <View style={styles.SplashScreen_RootView}>

  32.                 </View>  
  33.              </View> )  
  34.          return(  
  35.              <View style = { styles.MainContainer }>  
  36.                 <Text style={{textAlign: 'center'}}> Splash Screen Example</Text>  
  37.                  {  
  38.                   (this.state.isVisible === true) ? Splash_Screen : null  
  39.                 }  
  40.             </View>  
  41.               );  
  42.     }  
  43. }  
  44.  const styles = StyleSheet.create(  
  45. {  
  46.     MainContainer:  
  47.     {  
  48.         flex: 1,  
  49.         justifyContent: 'center',  
  50.         alignItems: 'center',  
  51.         paddingTop: ( Platform.OS === 'ios' ) ? 20 : 0  
  52.     },  
  53.    
  54.     SplashScreen_RootView:  
  55.     {  
  56.         justifyContent: 'center',  
  57.         flex:1,  
  58.         margin: 10,  
  59.         position: 'absolute',  
  60.         width: '100%',  
  61.         height: '100%',  
  62.       },  
  63.    
  64.     SplashScreen_ChildView:  
  65.     {  
  66.         justifyContent: 'center',  
  67.         alignItems: 'center',  
  68.         backgroundColor: '#00BCD4',  
  69.         flex:1,  
  70.     },  
  71. });

How I Reduced the Size of My React Native App by 85%

How and Why You Should Do It I borrowed 25$ from my friend to start a Play Store Developer account to put up my first app. I had already created the app, created the assets and published it in the store. Nobody wants to download a todo list app that costs 25mb of bandwidth and another 25 MB of storage space. So today I am going to share with you how I reduced the size of Tet from 25 MB to around 3.5 MB. Size Matters Like any beginner, I wrote my app using Expo, the awesome React Native platform that makes creating native apps a breeze. There is no native setup, you write javascript and Expo builds the binaries for you. I love everything about Expo except the size of the binaries. Each binary weighs around 25 MB regardless of your app. So the first thing I did was to migrate my existing Expo app to React Native. Migrating to React Native react-native init  a new project with the same name Copy the  source  files over from Expo project Install all de...

React Native - Text Input

In this chapter, we will show you how to work with  TextInput  elements in React Native. The Home component will import and render inputs. App.js import React from 'react' ; import Inputs from './inputs.js' const App = () => { return ( < Inputs /> ) } export default App Inputs We will define the initial state. After defining the initial state, we will create the  handleEmail  and the  handlePassword  functions. These functions are used for updating state. The  login()  function will just alert the current value of the state. We will also add some other properties to text inputs to disable auto capitalisation, remove the bottom border on Android devices and set a placeholder. inputs.js import React , { Component } from 'react' import { View , Text , TouchableOpacity , TextInput , StyleSheet } from 'react-native' class Inputs extends Component { state = { ...
