Summary:
We currently wait until after views have been updated on the main thread before sending layout events. This means that any code that relies on those events to update the UI will lag the atual layout by at least one frame.
This changes the RCTUIManager to send the event immediately after layout has occured on the shadow thread. This noticably improves the respinsiveness of the layout example in UIExplorer, which now updates the dimension labels immediately instead of waiting until after the layout animation has completed.
Summary:
Currently, the system for mapping JS event handlers to blocks is quite clean on the JS side, but is clunky on the native side. The event property is passed as a boolean, which can then be checked by the native side, and if true, the native side is supposed to send an event via the event dispatcher.
This diff adds the facility to declare the property as a block instead. This means that the event side can simply call the block, and it will automatically send the event. Because the blocks for bubbling and direct events are named differently, we can also use this to generate the event registration data and get rid of the arrays of event names.
The name of the event is inferred from the property name, which means that the property for an event called "load" must be called `onLoad` or the mapping won't work. This can be optionally remapped to a different property name on the view itself if necessary, e.g.
RCT_REMAP_VIEW_PROPERTY(onLoad, loadEventBlock, RCTDirectEventBlock)
If you don't want to use this mechanism then for now it is still possible to declare the property as a BOOL instead and use the old mechanism (this approach is now deprecated however, and may eventually be removed altogether).
Summary:
Supports `onLayout` for Touchable*` by piping onLayout
through to the native component inside since only native components support
it by default.
Summary:
TabBarItemIOS supports setting the scale for base64-encoded images using an optional scale parameter, however this was broken due to the JS code only passing the uri, not the whole source object, to the native side.
(See: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/2413)
Summary:
We want to be able to access the touch data within our components' event handlers, so we need to thread the event object all the way through to them.
Summary:
Added the ability to turn on and off the network activity indicator using:
```
StatusBarIOS.setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible(true)
```
and
```
StatusBarIOS.setNetworkActivityIndicatorVisible(false)
```
Also added an example to the UIExplorer example app.

Summary:
Some of the examples relied on the fact that TextInput wasn't a controlled
component before. This introduces a new `initialValue` prop which behaves the
way the `value` prop used to - that is, you could type without updating it and
it wouldn't get reset, thus acting as just an initial value - and switches the
examples to use it where appropriate.
