I am new to react native and I am searching for a good component library, React Native Elements looked like a popular library but I can't get the image component working.
I have a really big image and it overflows the screen. I just added width: 100
and height: 100
with just 'react-native'
Image component and it worked fine but not so with @rneui/themed
, I am able to see only the top-left part of the image. I tried resizeMode: 'contain'
, there is no flex: 1
in the styles but still it doesn't work.
I am currently using Expo Go and testing in my android phone.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
import { Text, Card, Image } from '@rneui/themed';
function HomeScreen() {
return (
<View>
<Image
containerStyle={styles.imgStyle}
source={startingImage}
/>
</View>
)
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
imgStyle: {
width: 100,
height: 100,
borderRadius: 50,
resizeMode: 'contain'
},
})
It looks like the issue you are experiencing is due to the way you have set up your styles and perhaps also misunderstanding how resizeMode works with the Image component from @rneui/themed. In React Native Elements, the resizeMode should be applied directly to the Image component as a prop and not inside the containerStyle.
import { Text, Card, Image } from '@rneui/themed';
import { View, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';
function HomeScreen() {
return (
<View>
<Image
source={startingImage}
style={styles.imgStyle} // Apply styles here
resizeMode="contain" // Use resizeMode as a prop
/>
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
imgStyle: {
width: 100, // Set a fixed width
height: 100, // Set a fixed height
},
});
