I have this function which gets executed when a <TouchableWithoutFeedback>
area is pressed:
navigateToRentable = () => {
console.log('in navigateToRentable');
this.props
.navigation
.dispatch(StackActions.reset({
index: 0,
actions: [
NavigationActions.navigate({
routeName: 'Rent',
actions: [
NavigationActions.navigate({
routeName: 'Rentable',
}),
]
}),
],
}))
}
I see in navigateToRentable
in my console so I know the method is firing, but nothing else happens - there is no other output in the console.
Here is the structure of my Navigation:
CameraNavigator.js
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Alert, Permissions, Linking, TouchableOpacity, Platform, ImageStore, Dimensions } from 'react-native';
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import RentScreenNavigator from './RentScreenNavigator';
import RentScreen from '../pages/RentScreen';
import CameraScreen from '../pages/CameraScreen';
import RentableScreen from '../pages/RentableScreen';
export default CameraNavigator = createStackNavigator(
{
OpenCamera: {
screen: CameraScreen,
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
header: null
}),
},
RentDetails: {
screen: RentScreen,
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
header: null
}),
},
Rentable: {
screen: RentableScreen,
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
header: null
}),
}
},
{
initialRouteName: 'Rent',
},
);
CameraScreenNavigator.js
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Alert, Permissions, Linking, TouchableOpacity, Platform, ImageStore, Dimensions } from 'react-native';
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import CameraNavigator from './CameraNavigator';
export default class CameraScreenNavigator extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)
}
render() {
return (
<CameraNavigator/>
)
}
};
App.js
import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Platform, Image, Text, View, ScrollView } from 'react-native';
import Ionicons from 'react-native-vector-icons/Ionicons';
import { Icon } from 'react-native-elements';
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import firebase from 'react-native-firebase';
import { YellowBox } from 'react-native';
import HomeScreen from './pages/HomeScreen';
import ProfileScreen from './pages/ProfileScreen';
//import CameraScreen from './pages/CameraScreen';
import CameraScreenNavigator from './components/CameraScreenNavigator';
//import RentScreenNavigator from './components/RentScreenNavigator';
YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Class RCTCxxModule']);
YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Warning: isMounted(...) is deprecated', 'Module RCTImageLoader']);
YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['You should only render one navigator explicitly in your app, and other navigators should by rendered by including them in that navigator.']);
const AppNavigator = createBottomTabNavigator(
{
Home: HomeScreen,
Profile: ProfileScreen,
Rent: CameraScreenNavigator,
},
{
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
const { routeName } = navigation.state;
let iconName;
if (routeName === 'Home') {
iconName = 'home';
} else if (routeName === 'Profile') {
iconName = 'user';
} else if (routeName === 'Rent') {
iconName = 'plus-square';
}
// You can return any component that you like here! We usually use an
// icon component from react-native-vector-icons
return (
<Icon
name={iconName}
color={tintColor}
type='feather'
/>
)
}
}),
tabBarOptions: {
activeTintColor: '#fff',
inactiveTintColor: '#c9fffd',
activeBackgroundColor: '#6de3dc',
inactiveBackgroundColor: '#6de3dc'
},
},
);
export default class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<AppNavigator/>
)
}
}
As you can probably tell from the the StackActions.reset
, I am trying to navigate to the Rentable
route that is part of CameraNavigator
, which is a child navigator the main App
navigator. I am trying to execute the StackActions.reset
from the Home
route, which is part of the root App
navigator.
In summary, nothing happens when I press the area that should navigate
me to the Rentable
route.
UPDATE
I have tried:
this.props
.navigation
.dispatch(
NavigationActions.navigate({
routeName: 'Rent',
actions: [
NavigationActions.navigate({
routeName: 'Rentable',
}),
]
}),
)
The first Navigation.navigate
works, but the sub-action
navigation to Rentable
does not.
UPDATE
I am still seeking an answer as to why StackActions.reset isn't working - but for what I was trying to do (navigate to the page of a child navigator from the parent navigator)...I found a workaround/method proposed by @kashishgrover here: https://github.com/react-navigation/react-navigation/issues/2398
However it isn't a perfect workaround - it forces the app to go to an intermediary page, and then listen for a parameter, so for a split second - the intermediary page loads, and then it loads the intended page.
this.props.navigation.dispatch(StackActions.reset({
index: 0,
key: null,
actions: [NavigationActions.navigate({ routeName: 'OpenCamera' })],
}));
I needed the correct combination of index
, key
, and routeName
in actions
. I also didn't need to navigate all the way to the Home
page, only to the Rent
page with intersects with the main App
navigator.
