How to deal with safeAreaView + React Navigation?

As shown clearly that Stack header seems bulky as compare to previously. Is there anyway where we can apply SafeAreaView to only bottom part?

Solution

  • Instead of using SafeAreaView from React-Native, use SafeAreaView from react-navigation as below:

    import { SafeAreaView } from 'react-navigation';

    Then you can use prop forceInset to customize the padding, which in your case,

    <SafeAreaView style={styles.safeArea} forceInset={{ top: 'never' }}>
