how to add margin in header left or header right in react native?

Question

I am trying to do a Twitter clone to practice. I need to add some margin to the image on the left and the icon in right. This is the header right now.

The code I tried:

<BottomTab.Screen
  name="Home"
  component={TabOneScreen}
  options={({ navigation }: RootTabScreenProps<"TabOne">) => ({
    headerRightContainerStyle: {
      marginRight: 10,
    },
    tabBarIcon: ({ color }) => <TabBarIcon name="md-home" color={color} />,
    headerTitle: () => (
      <TabBarIcon name={"logo-twitter"} size={30} color={Colors.light.tint} />
    ),
    headerRight: () => (
      <MaterialCommunityIcons
        name={"star-four-points-outline"}
        size={30}
        color={Colors.light.tint}
      />
    ),
    headerLeft: () => (
      <ProfilePicture
        size={40}
        image={
          "https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1431295293564280838/25cTnq7B_400x400.jpg"
        }
      />
    ),
  })}
/>

It doesn't give an error but it doesn't add margin too.

Answer 1

Have you tried any of the following

• Adding the margin to the components instead of the container
• Using paddingRight instead of marginRight in the headerRightContainerStyle

Sometimes adding margins to containers that use flexbox (all components in the case of react native) causes bugs and inconsistencies that can be avoided by using padding instead
