Summary: This adds support for sticky headers on Android. The implementation if based primarily on the iOS one (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React/Views/RCTScrollView.m#L272) and adds some stuff that was missing to be able to handle z-index, view clipping, view hierarchy optimization and touch handling properly. Some notable changes: - Add `ChildDrawingOrderDelegate` interface to allow changing the `ViewGroup` drawing order using `ViewGroup#getChildDrawingOrder`. This is used to change the content view drawing order to make sure headers are drawn over the other cells. Right now I'm only reversing the drawing order as drawing only the header views last added a lot of complexity especially because of view clipping and I don't think it should cause issues. - Add `collapsableChildren` prop that works like `collapsable` but applies to every child of the view. This is needed to be able to reference sticky headers by their indices otherwise some subviews can get optimized out and break indexes.

UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeproj
in Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init
which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json
file (and build.gradle
for Android apps).
