Janic Duplessis db061ea8c7 Don't wrap ListEmptyComponent in an extra view
Summary:
A common UI pattern for list empty states is some text/images centered inside the visible part of the list. This is pretty hard to do currently because we wrap ListEmptyComponent with an extra view with no way to style it so we cannot just use `flex: 1` to make it fill the available space.

- Added an example of ListEmptyComponent in the FlatList example in RNTester

Before (no way to make ListEmptyComponent fill the space):

- Tested some edge cases like returning null from the ListEmptyComponent

- Tested in an app that uses FlatList + ListEmptyComponent

[GENERAL] [MINOR] [VirtualizedList] - Don't wrap ListEmptyComponent in an extra view

RNTester

The RNTester 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 RNTester/RNTester.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 :RNTester:android:app:installDebug
./scripts/packager.sh

Note: Building for the first time can take a while.

Open the RNTester 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 rntester
buck install -r rntester
./scripts/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).
