TextInput field collapses on Android

[gmlion]

In InputComponent I see you're setting TextInput's width to this.state.width-this.state.labelWidth, but in Android label's width is the component total width, since the container defaults to { flexDirection: 'column', alignItems: 'stretch' }

I'm not sure if it is the intended behaviour, are you passing something to containerStyle or inputStyle to make it work?

I'm currently overriding the alignItems property to 'flex-start', so that label's width value is limited to its effective length.

Does my example works on your configuration? Which code are you using?

You should see the problem in this example form, unless I have something else interfering:

import React from 'react';

import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,ScrollView,
} from 'react-native';


import { Form,
  Separator,InputField, LinkField,
  SwitchField, PickerField,DatePickerField,TimePickerField
} from 'react-native-form-generator';

class EssentialForm extends React.Component {
    render() {
        return(
                <ScrollView>
                    <Form>
                        <InputField ref='memo' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                        <InputField ref='memo2' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                        <InputField ref='memo3' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                        <InputField ref='memo4' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                        <InputField ref='memo5' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                        <InputField ref='memo6' label='Memo' value={'value'} containerStyle={[{ paddingLeft: 7 }]} />
                    </Form>
                </ScrollView>
        );
    }
}

module.exports = EssentialForm;

In your example form, on Android, the first name field collapses, too, because of the label property being set.

Encountering the same problem on Android; if a label is set for the InputField, the input seems to be collapsed and you can't see what is being typed into the field.

I'm reinstalling a test environment to see if I can reproduce this error.

[florianbepunkt]

the problem appears also in your demo example. has anyone found a fix for this?

facing the same issue in android. The input field collapses to the almost the width of the cursor

[MichaelCereda]

I'm refactoring the whole package to make it compatible with the last version of react native (resolving also some deprecations). My suggestion by now is to create a custom field with the style you prefer. (it's very easy and painless) Once you have a custom field you can use it as any other standard field. Thank you and please let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you Michael. Quick question: I have a (multi) slider field component, supporting single and dual knob sliders. Any interest in this? It introduces a dependncy though

[MichaelCereda]

Yes we can be very interested.. Does it support both Android and ios? If you have the source code available please link it here. I'll take a look later today. Thanks

Sorry, was busy the last two days… can you please expose the Field class #80 ? And if you find time to respond to my issue regarding default values here #81 this would be appreciated. Especially with the slider IMO this poses a problem, as users probably won't change the default value. Anyway, here is my basic code for the slider, using @ptomasroos/react-native-multi-slider slider module

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import {
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View
} from 'react-native';

import MultiSlider from '@ptomasroos/react-native-multi-slider';

export class MultiSliderField extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      value: this.props.initialValue
    };
  }

  static defaultProps = {
    ...Component.defaultProps,
    label: '',
    unitLabel: '',
    dualKnob: false,
    sliderLength: 280
  }

  handleChange = (values) => {
    this.setState({
      value: values
    });

    if(this.props.onChange)      this.props.onChange(values);
    if(this.props.onValueChange) this.props.onValueChange(values);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Field>
        <View style={ComponentStyles.sliderLabelContainer}>
          <Text style={ComponentStyles.sliderLabel}>{this.props.label}</Text>
          <Text style={ComponentStyles.sliderValues}>{ this.props.dualKnob ?
            this.state.value[0] + ' - ' + this.state.value[1] + ' ' + this.props.unitLabel
            :
            this.state.value + ' ' + this.props.unitLabel
          }</Text>
          <MultiSlider
            style={[ComponentStyles.slider]}
            min={this.props.min}
            max={this.props.max}
            values={this.state.value}
            sliderLength={this.props.sliderLength}
            onValuesChange={this.handleChange.bind(this)}
            selectedStyle={ComponentStyles.sliderSelected}
            unselectedStyle={ComponentStyles.sliderUnselected}
          />
        </View>
      </Field>
    )
  }
}


const ComponentStyles = StyleSheet.create({
  sliderLabelContainer: {
    flex: 1,
    flexDirection: 'column',
    alignItems: 'center',
    paddingTop: 20
  },

  sliderLabel: {
    fontSize: 16,
    marginBottom: 20
  },

  sliderValues: {
    fontSize: 16,
    marginBottom: 30
  },

  slider: {
    paddingTop: 20
  },

  sliderSelected: {
    backgroundColor: '#C6CDE0'
  },

  sliderUnselected: {
    backgroundColor: '#D1D9ED'
  },

});

Usage would be like this

<MultiSliderField
    ref='lookingForAge'
    min={18}
    max={100}
    dualKnob={true}
    sliderLength={280}
    initialValue={[18,100]}
    unitLabel='years'
    label='I'm looking for this age range'
/>

<MultiSliderField
    ref='lookingForRadius'
    min={5}
    max={75}
    dualKnob={false}
    sliderLength={280}
    initialValue={[25]}
    value={[25]}
    unitLabel='miles'
    label='I'm looking in this radius'
/>
