Summary: Hi, This PR Solves this issue #3083. This PR solves the problem of default color on TabBar being always grey. Which looks great if the barTintColor is unchanged. However if we set the barTintColor to something else (like blue in example) text and icons become quite unreadable. ![simulator screen shot 27 apr 2016 21 58 40](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12081272/14866402/e51c7120-0cc3-11e6-9570-097b686c160f.png) Commit (c206417) - Enable setting color of unselected tabs Solves this issue with a prop (unselectedTintColor) on TabBarIOS to which you just pass a color like you can for barTintColor and tintColor. This leaves us with a result that is on second picture. Notice the color of text on tabs. ![simulator screen shot 27 apr 2016 21 59 06](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12081272/14866419/f77aa7e2-0cc3-11e6-8c90-33209009bc09.png) Or change it to yellow for demonstrating purposes ![simulator screen shot 27 apr 2016 21 59 13](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1208 Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/7264 Differential Revision: D3240924 Pulled By: nicklockwood fb-gh-sync-id: 14a0de28abd064756320b7a74f128c255caa6b12 fbshipit-source-id: 14a0de28abd064756320b7a74f128c255caa6b12
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).
