<div><div><p>A wrapper for making views respond properly to touches (Android only).
On Android this component uses native state drawable to display touch
feedback.</p><p>At the moment it only supports having a single View instance as a child
node, as it's implemented by replacing that View with another instance of
RCTView node with some additional properties set.</p><p>Background drawable of native feedback touchable can be customized with
<code>background</code> property.</p><p>Example:</p><div class="prism language-javascript">renderButton<span class="token punctuation">:</span> <span class="token keyword">function</span><span class="token punctuation">(</span><span class="token punctuation">)</span> <span class="token punctuation">{</span>

display feedback. It takes an object with <code>type</code> property and extra data
depending on the <code>type</code>. It's recommended to use one of the static
methods to generate that dictionary.</p></div></div><div class="prop"><h4 class="propTitle"><a class="anchor" name="useforeground"></a>useForeground?: <span class="propType">bool</span> <a class="hash-link" href="docs/touchablenativefeedback.html#useforeground">#</a></h4><div><p>Set to true to add the ripple effect to the foreground of the view, instead of the
background. This is useful if one of your child views has a background of its own, or you're
e.g. displaying images, and you don't want the ripple to be covered by them.</p><p>Check TouchableNativeFeedback.canUseNativeForeground() first, as this is only available on
Android 6.0 and above. If you try to use this on older versions you will get a warning and
fallback to background.</p></div></div></div><span><h3><a class="anchor" name="methods"></a>Methods <a class="hash-link" href="docs/touchablenativefeedback.html#methods">#</a></h3><div class="props"><div class="prop"><h4 class="methodTitle"><a class="anchor" name="selectablebackground"></a><span class="methodType">static </span>SelectableBackground<span class="methodType">()</span> <a class="hash-link" href="docs/touchablenativefeedback.html#selectablebackground">#</a></h4><div><p>Creates an object that represents android theme's default background for
