Accessibility #

Native App Accessibility (iOS and Android) #

Both iOS and Android provide APIs for making apps accessible to people with disabilities. In addition, both platforms provide bundled assistive technologies, like the screen readers VoiceOver (iOS) and TalkBack (Android) for the visually impaired. Similarly, in React Native we have included APIs designed to provide developers with support for making apps more accessible. Take note, iOS and Android differ slightly in their approaches, and thus the React Native implementations may vary by platform.

On Android, ‘accessible={true}’ property for a react-native View will be translated into native ‘focusable={true}’.

<View accessible={true}> <Text>text one</Text> <Text>text two</Text> </View>

In the above example, we can't get accessibility focus separately on 'text one' and 'text two'. Instead we get focus on a parent view with 'accessible' property.

accessibilityLabel (iOS, Android) #

When a view is marked as accessible, it is a good practice to set an accessibilityLabel on the view, so that people who use VoiceOver know what element they have selected. VoiceOver will read this string when a user selects the associated element.

To use, set the accessibilityLabel property to a custom string on your View:

Profiling Android UI Performance #

We try our best to deliver buttery-smooth UI performance by default, but sometimes that just isn't possible. Remember, Android supports 10k+ different phones and is generalized to support software rendering: the framework architecture and need to generalize across many hardware targets unfortunately means you get less for free relative to iOS. But sometimes, there are things you can improve (and many times it's not native code's fault at all!).

The first step for debugging this jank is to answer the fundamental question of where your time is being spent during each 16ms frame. For that, we'll be using a standard Android profiling tool called systrace. But first...

Make sure that JS dev mode is OFF!

You should see __DEV__ === false, development-level warning are OFF, performance optimizations are ON in your application logs (which you can view using adb logcat)

Profiling with Systrace #

Systrace is a standard Android marker-based profiling tool (and is installed when you install the Android platform-tools package). Profiled code blocks are surrounded by markers start/end markers which are then visualized in a colorful chart format. Both the Android SDK and React Native framework provide standard markers that you can visualize.

Collecting a trace #

NOTE:

Systrace support was added in react-native v0.15. You will need to build with that version to collect a trace.

First, connect a device that exhibits the stuttering you want to investigate to your computer via USB and get it to the point right before the navigation/animation you want to profile. Run systrace as follows

$ <path_to_android_sdk>/platform-tools/systrace/systrace.py --time=10 -o trace.html sched gfx view -a <your_package_name>

A quick breakdown of this command:

  • time is the length of time the trace will be collected in seconds
  • sched, gfx, and view are the android SDK tags (collections of markers) we care about: sched gives you information about what's running on each core of your phone, gfx gives you graphics info such as frame boundaries, and view gives you information about measure, layout, and draw passes
  • -a <your_package_name> enables app-specific markers, specifically the ones built into the React Native framework. your_package_name can be found in the AndroidManifest.xml of your app and looks like com.example.app

Once the trace starts collecting, perform the animation or interaction you care about. At the end of the trace, systrace will give you a link to the trace which you can open in your browser.

Reading the trace #

After opening the trace in your browser (preferably Chrome), you should see something like this:

Example

If your trace .html file isn't opening correctly, check your browser console for the following:

ObjectObserveError

Since Object.observe was deprecated in recent browsers, you may have to open the file from the Google Chrome Tracing tool. You can do so by:

  • Opening tab in chrome chrome://tracing
  • Selecting load
  • Selecting the html file generated from the previous command.

HINT: Use the WASD keys to strafe and zoom

Enable VSync highlighting #

The first thing you should do is highlight the 16ms frame boundaries if you haven't already done that. Check this checkbox at the top right of the screen:

Enable VSync Highlighting

You should see zebra stripes as in the screenshot above. If you don't, try profiling on a different device: Samsung has been known to have issues displaying vsyncs while the Nexus series is generally pretty reliable.

Find your process #

Scroll until you see (part of) the name of your package. In this case, I was profiling com.facebook.adsmanager, which shows up as book.adsmanager because of silly thread name limits in the kernel.

On the left side, you'll see a set of threads which correspond to the timeline rows on the right. There are three/four threads we care about for our purposes: the UI thread (which has your package name or the name UI Thread), mqt_js and mqt_native_modules. If you're running on Android 5+, we also care about the Render Thread.

UI Thread #

This is where standard android measure/layout/draw happens. The thread name on the right will be your package name (in my case book.adsmanager) or UI Thread. The events that you see on this thread should look something like this and have to do with Choreographer, traversals, and DispatchUI:

UI Thread Example

JS Thread #

This is where JS is executed. The thread name will be either mqt_js or <...> depending on how cooperative the kernel on your device is being. To identify it if it doesn't have a name, look for things like JSCall, Bridge.executeJSCall, etc:

JS Thread Example

Native Modules Thread #

This is where native module calls (e.g. the UIManager) are executed. The thread name will be either mqt_native_modules or <...>. To identify it in the latter case, look for things like NativeCall, callJavaModuleMethod, and onBatchComplete:

Native Modules Thread Example

Bonus: Render Thread #

If you're using Android L (5.0) and up, you will also have a render thread in your application. This thread generates the actual OpenGL commands used to draw your UI. The thread name will be either RenderThread or <...>. To identify it in the latter case, look for things like DrawFrame and queueBuffer:

Render Thread Example

Identifying a culprit #

A smooth animation should look something like the following:

Smooth Animation

Each change in color is a frame -- remember that in order to display a frame, all our UI work needs to be done by the end of that 16ms period. Notice that no thread is working close to the frame boundary. An application rendering like this is rendering at 60FPS.

If you noticed chop, however, you might see something like this:

Choppy Animation from JS

Notice that the JS thread is executing basically all the time, and across frame boundaries! This app is not rendering at 60FPS. In this case, the problem lies in JS.

You might also see something like this:

Choppy Animation from UI

In this case, the UI and render threads are the ones that have work crossing frame boundaries. The UI that we're trying to render on each frame is requiring too much work to be done. In this case, the problem lies in the native views being rendered.

At this point, you'll have some very helpful information to inform your next steps.

JS Issues #

If you identified a JS problem, look for clues in the specific JS that you're executing. In the scenario above, we see RCTEventEmitter being called multiple times per frame. Here's a zoom-in of the JS thread from the trace above:

Too much JS

This doesn't seem right. Why is it being called so often? Are they actually different events? The answers to these questions will probably depend on your product code. And many times, you'll want to look into shouldComponentUpdate.

TODO: Add more tools for profiling JS

Native UI Issues #

If you identified a native UI problem, there are usually two scenarios:

  1. the UI you're trying to draw each frame involves to much work on the GPU, or
  2. You're constructing new UI during the animation/interaction (e.g. loading in new content during a scroll).

Too much GPU work #

In the first scenario, you'll see a trace that has the UI thread and/or Render Thread looking like this:

Overloaded GPU

Notice the long amount of time spent in DrawFrame that crosses frame boundaries. This is time spent waiting for the GPU to drain its command buffer from the previous frame.

To mitigate this, you should:

  • investigate using renderToHardwareTextureAndroid for complex, static content that is being animated/transformed (e.g. the Navigator slide/alpha animations)
  • make sure that you are not using needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing, which is disabled by default, as it greatly increases the per-frame load on the GPU in most cases.

If these don't help and you want to dig deeper into what the GPU is actually doing, you can check out Tracer for OpenGL ES.

Creating new views on the UI thread #

In the second scenario, you'll see something more like this:

Creating Views

Notice that first the JS thread thinks for a bit, then you see some work done on the native modules thread, followed by an expensive traversal on the UI thread.

There isn't an easy way to mitigate this unless you're able to postpone creating new UI until after the interaction, or you are able to simplify the UI you're creating. The react native team is working on a infrastructure level solution for this that will allow new UI to be created and configured off the main thread, allowing the interaction to continue smoothly.

Profiling Android UI Performance #

We try our best to deliver buttery-smooth UI performance by default, but sometimes that just isn't possible. Remember, Android supports 10k+ different phones and is generalized to support software rendering: the framework architecture and need to generalize across many hardware targets unfortunately means you get less for free relative to iOS. But sometimes, there are things you can improve (and many times it's not native code's fault at all!).

The first step for debugging this jank is to answer the fundamental question of where your time is being spent during each 16ms frame. For that, we'll be using a standard Android profiling tool called systrace. But first...

Make sure that JS dev mode is OFF!

You should see __DEV__ === false, development-level warning are OFF, performance optimizations are ON in your application logs (which you can view using adb logcat)

Profiling with Systrace #

Systrace is a standard Android marker-based profiling tool (and is installed when you install the Android platform-tools package). Profiled code blocks are surrounded by markers start/end markers which are then visualized in a colorful chart format. Both the Android SDK and React Native framework provide standard markers that you can visualize.

Collecting a trace #

NOTE:

Systrace support was added in react-native v0.15. You will need to build with that version to collect a trace.

First, connect a device that exhibits the stuttering you want to investigate to your computer via USB and get it to the point right before the navigation/animation you want to profile. Run systrace as follows

$ <path_to_android_sdk>/platform-tools/systrace/systrace.py --time=10 -o trace.html sched gfx view -a <your_package_name>

A quick breakdown of this command:

  • time is the length of time the trace will be collected in seconds
  • sched, gfx, and view are the android SDK tags (collections of markers) we care about: sched gives you information about what's running on each core of your phone, gfx gives you graphics info such as frame boundaries, and view gives you information about measure, layout, and draw passes
  • -a <your_package_name> enables app-specific markers, specifically the ones built into the React Native framework. your_package_name can be found in the AndroidManifest.xml of your app and looks like com.example.app

Once the trace starts collecting, perform the animation or interaction you care about. At the end of the trace, systrace will give you a link to the trace which you can open in your browser.

Reading the trace #

After opening the trace in your browser (preferably Chrome), you should see something like this:

Example

If your trace .html file isn't opening correctly, check your browser console for the following:

ObjectObserveError

Since Object.observe was deprecated in recent browsers, you may have to open the file from the Google Chrome Tracing tool. You can do so by:

  • Opening tab in chrome chrome://tracing
  • Selecting load
  • Selecting the html file generated from the previous command.

HINT: Use the WASD keys to strafe and zoom

Enable VSync highlighting #

The first thing you should do is highlight the 16ms frame boundaries if you haven't already done that. Check this checkbox at the top right of the screen:

Enable VSync Highlighting

You should see zebra stripes as in the screenshot above. If you don't, try profiling on a different device: Samsung has been known to have issues displaying vsyncs while the Nexus series is generally pretty reliable.

Find your process #

Scroll until you see (part of) the name of your package. In this case, I was profiling com.facebook.adsmanager, which shows up as book.adsmanager because of silly thread name limits in the kernel.

On the left side, you'll see a set of threads which correspond to the timeline rows on the right. There are three/four threads we care about for our purposes: the UI thread (which has your package name or the name UI Thread), mqt_js and mqt_native_modules. If you're running on Android 5+, we also care about the Render Thread.

UI Thread #

This is where standard android measure/layout/draw happens. The thread name on the right will be your package name (in my case book.adsmanager) or UI Thread. The events that you see on this thread should look something like this and have to do with Choreographer, traversals, and DispatchUI:

UI Thread Example

JS Thread #

This is where JS is executed. The thread name will be either mqt_js or <...> depending on how cooperative the kernel on your device is being. To identify it if it doesn't have a name, look for things like JSCall, Bridge.executeJSCall, etc:

JS Thread Example

Native Modules Thread #

This is where native module calls (e.g. the UIManager) are executed. The thread name will be either mqt_native_modules or <...>. To identify it in the latter case, look for things like NativeCall, callJavaModuleMethod, and onBatchComplete:

Native Modules Thread Example

Bonus: Render Thread #

If you're using Android L (5.0) and up, you will also have a render thread in your application. This thread generates the actual OpenGL commands used to draw your UI. The thread name will be either RenderThread or <...>. To identify it in the latter case, look for things like DrawFrame and queueBuffer:

Render Thread Example

Identifying a culprit #

A smooth animation should look something like the following:

Smooth Animation

Each change in color is a frame -- remember that in order to display a frame, all our UI work needs to be done by the end of that 16ms period. Notice that no thread is working close to the frame boundary. An application rendering like this is rendering at 60FPS.

If you noticed chop, however, you might see something like this:

Choppy Animation from JS

Notice that the JS thread is executing basically all the time, and across frame boundaries! This app is not rendering at 60FPS. In this case, the problem lies in JS.

You might also see something like this:

Choppy Animation from UI

In this case, the UI and render threads are the ones that have work crossing frame boundaries. The UI that we're trying to render on each frame is requiring too much work to be done. In this case, the problem lies in the native views being rendered.

At this point, you'll have some very helpful information to inform your next steps.

JS Issues #

If you identified a JS problem, look for clues in the specific JS that you're executing. In the scenario above, we see RCTEventEmitter being called multiple times per frame. Here's a zoom-in of the JS thread from the trace above:

Too much JS

This doesn't seem right. Why is it being called so often? Are they actually different events? The answers to these questions will probably depend on your product code. And many times, you'll want to look into shouldComponentUpdate.

TODO: Add more tools for profiling JS

Native UI Issues #

If you identified a native UI problem, there are usually two scenarios:

  1. the UI you're trying to draw each frame involves to much work on the GPU, or
  2. You're constructing new UI during the animation/interaction (e.g. loading in new content during a scroll).

Too much GPU work #

In the first scenario, you'll see a trace that has the UI thread and/or Render Thread looking like this:

Overloaded GPU

Notice the long amount of time spent in DrawFrame that crosses frame boundaries. This is time spent waiting for the GPU to drain its command buffer from the previous frame.

To mitigate this, you should:

  • investigate using renderToHardwareTextureAndroid for complex, static content that is being animated/transformed (e.g. the Navigator slide/alpha animations)
  • make sure that you are not using needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing, which is disabled by default, as it greatly increases the per-frame load on the GPU in most cases.

If these don't help and you want to dig deeper into what the GPU is actually doing, you can check out Tracer for OpenGL ES.

Creating new views on the UI thread #

In the second scenario, you'll see something more like this:

Creating Views

Notice that first the JS thread thinks for a bit, then you see some work done on the native modules thread, followed by an expensive traversal on the UI thread.

There isn't an easy way to mitigate this unless you're able to postpone creating new UI until after the interaction, or you are able to simplify the UI you're creating. The react native team is working on a infrastructure level solution for this that will allow new UI to be created and configured off the main thread, allowing the interaction to continue smoothly.

    Communication between native and React Native #

    In Integrating with Existing Apps guide and Native UI Components guide we learn how to embed React Native in a native component and vice versa. When we mix native and React Native components, we'll eventually find a need to communicate between these two worlds. Some ways to achieve that have been already mentioned in other guides. This article summarizes available techniques.

    Introduction #

    React Native is inspired by React, so the basic idea of the information flow is similar. The flow in React is one-directional. We maintain a hierarchy of components, in which each component depends only on its parent and own internal state. We do this with properties: data is passed from a parent to its children in a top-down manner. If we have an ancestor component that rely on the state of its descendant, the recommended solution would be to pass down a callback that would be used by the descendant to update the ancestor.

    The same concept applies to React Native. As long as we are building our application purely within the framework, we can drive our app with properties and callbacks. But, when we mix React Native and native components, we need some special, cross-language mechanisms that would allow us to pass information between them.

    Properties #

    Properties are the simplest way of cross-component communication. So we need a way to pass properties both from native to React Native, and from React Native to native.

    Passing properties from native to React Native #

    In order to embed a React Native view in a native component, we use RCTRootView. RCTRootView is a UIView that holds a React Native app. It also provides an interface between native side and the hosted app.

    RCTRootView has an initializer that allows you to pass arbitrary properties down to the React Native app. The initialProperties parameter has to be an instance of NSDictionary. The dictionary is internally converted into a JSON object that the top-level JS component can reference.

    Debugging #

    Accessing the In-App Developer Menu #

    You can access the developer menu by shaking your device or by selecting "Shake Gesture" inside the Hardware menu in the iOS Simulator. You can also use the Command + D keyboard shortcut when your app is running in the iPhone Simulator, or Command + M when running in an Android emulator.

    The Developer Menu is disabled in release (production) builds.

    Reloading JavaScript #

    Instead of recompiling your app every time you make a change, you can reload your app's JavaScript code instantly. To do so, select "Reload" from the Developer Menu. You can also press Command + R in the iOS Simulator, or press R twice on Android emulators.

    If the Command + R keyboard shortcut does not seem to reload the iOS Simulator, go to the Hardware menu, select Keyboard, and make sure that "Connect Hardware Keyboard" is checked.

    Automatic reloading #

    You can speed up your development times by having your app reload automatically any time your code changes. Automatic reloading can be enabled by selecting "Enable Live Reload" from the Developer Menu.

    You may even go a step further and keep your app running as new versions of your files are injected into the JavaScript bundle automatically by enabling Hot Reloading from the Developer Menu. This will allow you to persist the app's state through reloads.

    There are some instances where hot reloading cannot be implemented perfectly. If you run into any issues, use a full reload to reset your app.

    You will need to rebuild your app for changes to take effect in certain situations:

    • You have added new resources to your native app's bundle, such as an image in Images.xcassets on iOS or the res/drawable folder on Android.
    • You have modified native code (Objective-C/Swift on iOS or Java/C++ on Android).

    In-app Errors and Warnings #

    Errors and warnings are displayed inside your app in development builds.

    Errors #

    In-app errors are displayed in a full screen alert with a red background inside your app. This screen is known as a RedBox. You can use console.error() to manually trigger one.

    Warnings #

    Warnings will be displayed on screen with a yellow background. These alerts are known as YellowBoxes. Click on the alerts to show more information or to dismiss them.

    As with a RedBox, you can use console.warn() to trigger a YellowBox.

    YellowBoxes can be disabled during development by using console.disableYellowBox = true;. Specific warnings can be ignored programmatically by setting an array of prefixes that should be ignored: console.ignoredYellowBox = ['Warning: ...'];

    RedBoxes and YellowBoxes are automatically disabled in release (production) builds.

    Accessing console logs #

    You can display the console logs for an iOS or Android app by using the following commands in a terminal while the app is running:

    $ react-native log-ios -$ react-native log-android

    You may also access these through Debug → Open System Log... in the iOS Simulator or by running adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V in a terminal while an Android app is running on a device or emulator.

    Chrome Developer Tools #

    To debug the JavaScript code in Chrome, select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu. This will open a new tab at http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui.

    Select Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome Menu to open the Developer Tools. You may also access the DevTools using keyboard shortcuts (Command + Option + I on Mac, Ctrl + Shift + I on Windows). You may also want to enable Pause On Caught Exceptions for a better debugging experience.

    It is currently not possible to use the "React" tab in the Chrome Developer Tools to inspect app widgets. You can use Nuclide's "React Native Inspector" as a workaround.

    Debugging on a device with Chrome Developer Tools #

    On iOS devices, open the file RCTWebSocketExecutor.m and change "localhost" to the IP address of your computer, then select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu.

    On Android 5.0+ devices connected via USB, you can use the adb command line tool to setup port forwarding from the device to your computer:

    adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

    Alternatively, select "Dev Settings" from the Developer Menu, then update the "Debug server host for device" setting to match the IP address of your computer.

    If you run into any issues, it may be possible that one of your Chrome extensions is interacting in unexpected ways with the debugger. Try disabling all of your extensions and re-enabling them one-by-one until you find the problematic extension.

    Debugging using a custom JavaScript debugger #

    To use a custom JavaScript debugger in place of Chrome Developer Tools, set the REACT_DEBUGGER environment variable to a command that will start your custom debugger. You can then select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu to start debugging.

    The debugger will receive a list of all project roots, separated by a space. For example, if you set REACT_DEBUGGER="node /path/to/launchDebugger.js --port 2345 --type ReactNative", then the command node /path/to/launchDebugger.js --port 2345 --type ReactNative /path/to/reactNative/app will be used to start your debugger.

    Custom debugger commands executed this way should be short-lived processes, and they shouldn't produce more than 200 kilobytes of output.

        A component can specify the layout of its children using the flexbox algorithm. Flexbox is designed to provide a consistent layout on different screen sizes.

        Gesture Responder System #

        Gesture recognition on mobile devices is much more complicated than web. A touch can go through several phases as the app determines what the user's intention is. For example, the app needs to determine if the touch is scrolling, sliding on a widget, or tapping. This can even change during the duration of a touch. There can also be multiple simultaneous touches.

        The touch responder system is needed to allow components to negotiate these touch interactions without any additional knowledge about their parent or child components. This system is implemented in ResponderEventPlugin.js, which contains further details and documentation.

        Best Practices #

        Users can feel huge differences in the usability of web apps vs. native, and this is one of the big causes. Every action should have the following attributes:

        • Feedback/highlighting- show the user what is handling their touch, and what will happen when they release the gesture
        • Cancel-ability- when making an action, the user should be able to abort it mid-touch by dragging their finger away

        These features make users more comfortable while using an app, because it allows people to experiment and interact without fear of making mistakes.

        TouchableHighlight and Touchable* #

        The responder system can be complicated to use. So we have provided an abstract Touchable implementation for things that should be "tappable". This uses the responder system and allows you to easily configure tap interactions declaratively. Use TouchableHighlight anywhere where you would use a button or link on web.

        Responder Lifecycle #

        A view can become the touch responder by implementing the correct negotiation methods. There are two methods to ask the view if it wants to become responder:

        • View.props.onStartShouldSetResponder: (evt) => true, - Does this view want to become responder on the start of a touch?
        • View.props.onMoveShouldSetResponder: (evt) => true, - Called for every touch move on the View when it is not the responder: does this view want to "claim" touch responsiveness?

        If the View returns true and attempts to become the responder, one of the following will happen:

        • View.props.onResponderGrant: (evt) => {} - The View is now responding for touch events. This is the time to highlight and show the user what is happening
        • View.props.onResponderReject: (evt) => {} - Something else is the responder right now and will not release it

        If the view is responding, the following handlers can be called:

        • View.props.onResponderMove: (evt) => {} - The user is moving their finger
        • View.props.onResponderRelease: (evt) => {} - Fired at the end of the touch, ie "touchUp"
        • View.props.onResponderTerminationRequest: (evt) => true - Something else wants to become responder. Should this view release the responder? Returning true allows release
        • View.props.onResponderTerminate: (evt) => {} - The responder has been taken from the View. Might be taken by other views after a call to onResponderTerminationRequest, or might be taken by the OS without asking (happens with control center/ notification center on iOS)

        evt is a synthetic touch event with the following form:

        • nativeEvent
          • changedTouches - Array of all touch events that have changed since the last event
          • identifier - The ID of the touch
          • locationX - The X position of the touch, relative to the element
          • locationY - The Y position of the touch, relative to the element
          • pageX - The X position of the touch, relative to the root element
          • pageY - The Y position of the touch, relative to the root element
          • target - The node id of the element receiving the touch event
          • timestamp - A time identifier for the touch, useful for velocity calculation
          • touches - Array of all current touches on the screen

        Capture ShouldSet Handlers #

        onStartShouldSetResponder and onMoveShouldSetResponder are called with a bubbling pattern, where the deepest node is called first. That means that the deepest component will become responder when multiple Views return true for *ShouldSetResponder handlers. This is desirable in most cases, because it makes sure all controls and buttons are usable.

        However, sometimes a parent will want to make sure that it becomes responder. This can be handled by using the capture phase. Before the responder system bubbles up from the deepest component, it will do a capture phase, firing on*ShouldSetResponderCapture. So if a parent View wants to prevent the child from becoming responder on a touch start, it should have a onStartShouldSetResponderCapture handler which returns true.

        • View.props.onStartShouldSetResponderCapture: (evt) => true,
        • View.props.onMoveShouldSetResponderCapture: (evt) => true,

        As of 0.14 release, React Native provides a unified way of managing images in your iOS and Android apps. To add a static image to your app, place it somewhere in your source code tree and reference it like this:

        <Image source={require('./my-icon.png')} />

        The image name is resolved the same way JS modules are resolved. In the example above the packager will look for my-icon.png in the same folder as the component that requires it. Also if you have my-icon.ios.png and my-icon.android.png, the packager will pick the file depending on the platform you are running on.

        You can also use @2x, @3x, etc. suffix in the file name to provide images for different screen densities. For example, if you have the following file structure:

        As of 0.14 release, React Native provides a unified way of managing images in your iOS and Android apps. To add a static image to your app, place it somewhere in your source code tree and reference it like this:

        <Image source={require('./my-icon.png')} />

        The image name is resolved the same way JS modules are resolved. In the example above the packager will look for my-icon.png in the same folder as the component that requires it. Also if you have my-icon.ios.png and my-icon.android.png, the packager will pick the file depending on the platform you are running on.

        You can also use @2x, @3x, etc. suffix in the file name to provide images for different screen densities. For example, if you have the following file structure:

        . ├── button.js └── img ├── check@2x.png @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ // BAD <Image source={{uri: 'https://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}} />

        Best Camera Roll Image #

        iOS saves multiple sizes for the same image in your Camera Roll, it is very important to pick the one that's as close as possible for performance reasons. You wouldn't want to use the full quality 3264x2448 image as source when displaying a 200x200 thumbnail. If there's an exact match, React Native will pick it, otherwise it's going to use the first one that's at least 50% bigger in order to avoid blur when resizing from a close size. All of this is done by default so you don't have to worry about writing the tedious (and error prone) code to do it yourself.

        Why Not Automatically Size Everything? #

        In the browser if you don't give a size to an image, the browser is going to render a 0x0 element, download the image, and then render the image based with the correct size. The big issue with this behavior is that your UI is going to jump all around as images load, this makes for a very bad user experience.

        In React Native this behavior is intentionally not implemented. It is more work for the developer to know the dimensions (or aspect ratio) of the remote image in advance, but we believe that it leads to a better user experience. Static images loaded from the app bundle via the require('./my-icon.png') syntax can be automatically sized because their dimensions are available immediately at the time of mounting.

        For example, the result of require('./my-icon.png') might be:

        {"__packager_asset":true,"path":"/Users/react/HelloWorld/my-icon.png","uri":"my-icon.png","width":591,"height":573}

        Source as an object #

        In React Native, one interesting decision is that the src attribute is named source and doesn't take a string but an object with a uri attribute.

        <Image source={{uri: 'something.jpg'}} />

        On the infrastructure side, the reason is that it allows us to attach metadata to this object. For example if you are using require('./my-icon.png'), then we add information about its actual location and size (don't rely on this fact, it might change in the future!). This is also future proofing, for example we may want to support sprites at some point, instead of outputting {uri: ...}, we can output {uri: ..., crop: {left: 10, top: 50, width: 20, height: 40}} and transparently support spriting on all the existing call sites.

        On the user side, this lets you annotate the object with useful attributes such as the dimension of the image in order to compute the size it's going to be displayed in. Feel free to use it as your data structure to store more information about your image.

        Background Image via Nesting #

        A common feature request from developers familiar with the web is background-image. To handle this use case, simply create a normal <Image> component and add whatever children to it you would like to layer on top of it.
