I'm trying to set a full background image on my login view.
I found that question here in Stackoverflow: What's the best way to add a full screen background image in React Native
So I did it like there, but it didn't work:
var login = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<View style={ styles.container }>
<Image source={require('../images/login_background.png')} style={styles.backgroundImage} />
<View style={ styles.loginForm }>
<Text>TEST</Text>
</View>
</View>
);
}
});
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
backgroundImage: {
flex: 1,
resizeMode: 'cover', // or 'stretch'
},
loginForm: {
},
});
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Here is the app, in case you guys want to take it a look -> Full size background image example on rnplay.org. I don't know how to do it editable :/
Thanks :)
Try either of these two methods:
The first is similar to yours except you have position: 'absolute'
on your login form:
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
},
backgroundImage: {
flex: 1,
resizeMode: 'cover', // or 'stretch'
},
loginForm: {
position: 'absolute',
top: 0,
bottom: 0,
left: 0,
right: 0
},
});
The second method involves using the ImageView as a container:
render: function() {
return (
<View style={ styles.container }>
<Image source={require('../images/login_background.png')} style={styles.backgroundImage}>
<View style={ styles.loginForm }>
<Text>TEST</Text>
</View>
</Image>
</View>
);
}
