As you can see in the docs, the default positioning for the title in react-native-paper is left-aligned. I've seen multiple questions and answers about how to implement a centered title both for Android Native as well as React Native's StackNavigator, but I am having no luck pulling off the same effect with react-native-paper
.
So far I have tried using the style
parameter in Appbar.Header
to pass in { textAlign: 'center' }
or { flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'space-between' }
, but nothing seems to work. I'm not very impressed with react-native-paper's lack of documentation on overrides, but I still hope there's a way to do what I'm looking for.
const styles = { header: { textAlign: 'center' }}
<Appbar.Header style={styles.header}>
<Appbar.Action icon="close" onPress={() => this.close()} />
<Appbar.Content title={title} />
<Button mode="text" onPress={() => this.submit()}>
DONE
</Button>
</Appbar.Header>
Considering title
accept a node
, it can be used to display a react component.
How can I force center the title on all devices?
react-navigation
allows passing a component for title
instead of a string, so we can do the same thing here:
I wrote an example that accepts a custom title component and can be used wherever we want:
import * as React from 'react';
import { Appbar, Button, Text } from 'react-native-paper';
const ContentTitle = ({ title, style }) => (
<Appbar.Content
title={<Text style={style}> {title} </Text>}
style={{ alignItems: 'center' }}
/>
);
const App = () => (
<Appbar.Header>
<Appbar.Action icon="close" onPress={() => this.close()} />
<ContentTitle title={'Title'} style={{color:'white'}} />
<Button mode="text" onPress={() => this.submit()}>
DONE
</Button>
</Appbar.Header>
);
export default App;
