HOW TO USE SAFE AREA VIEW ON ANDROID- REACT NATIVE.
To implement a safe area view for Android in React Native, you can make use of the react-native-safe-area-context
library. This library helps you handle safe area insets for different devices, ensuring that your content is properly displayed within the safe area boundaries.
To get started, follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the required dependencies.
// for npm users
npm install react-native-safe-area-context
npm install react-native-safe-area-view
// for yarn users
yarn add react-native-safe-area-context
yarn add install react-native-safe-area-view
Step 2: Link the library (for React Native versions below 0.60).
// NB : only for versions below 0.60
react-native link react-native-safe-area-context
Step 3: Import the necessary components in your code. Use SafeAreaView
component to wrap your content.
import { SafeAreaView } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';
const App = () => {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{ flex: 1 }}>
{/* Your content goes here */}
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
export default App;
