Summary: Adds zIndex support :) **Test Plan** Tested the following components by adding two of each, overlapping them, and setting a high zIndex on the first of the two: ActivityIndicator Image MapView Picker ScrollView Slider Switch Text TextInput View WebView Tested on Android 4.1 and iOS 8.4. Also tested updating zIndexes on Views in my own app. <img width="359" alt="ios activityindicator" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4349082/15633473/88f842cc-257b-11e6-8539-c41c0b179f80.png"> <img width="330" alt="android activityindicator" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4349082/15633475/88f95784-257b-11e6-80c0-2bf3ed836503.png"> <img width="357" alt="ios image" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4349082/15633474/88f93d80-257b-11e6-9e54-4ff8e4d25f71.png"> <img width="340" alt="android image" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/4349082/15633478/88fd2788-257b-11e6-8c80-29078e65e808.png"> <img width="342" alt="android picker" src="ht Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/7825 Differential Revision: D3469374 Pulled By: lexs fbshipit-source-id: b2b74b71d968ebf73ecfd457ace3f35f8f7c7658
UIExplorer
The UIExplorer is a sample app that showcases React Native views and modules.
Running this app
Before running the app, make sure you ran:
git clone https://github.com/facebook/react-native.git
cd react-native
npm install
Running on iOS
Mac OS and Xcode are required.
- Open
Examples/UIExplorer/UIExplorer.xcodeprojin Xcode - Hit the Run button
See Running on device if you want to use a physical device.
Running on Android
You'll need to have all the prerequisites (SDK, NDK) for Building React Native installed.
Start an Android emulator (Genymotion is recommended).
cd react-native
./gradlew :Examples:UIExplorer:android:app:installDebug
./packager/packager.sh
Note: Building for the first time can take a while.
Open the UIExplorer app in your emulator.
See Running on Device in case you want to use a physical device.
Running with Buck
Follow the same setup as running with gradle.
Install Buck from here.
Run the following commands from the react-native folder:
./gradlew :ReactAndroid:packageReactNdkLibsForBuck
buck fetch uiexplorer
buck install -r uiexplorer
./packager/packager.sh
Note: The native libs are still built using gradle. Full build with buck is coming soon(tm).
Built from source
Building the app on both iOS and Android means building the React Native framework from source. This way you're running the latest native and JS code the way you see it in your clone of the github repo.
This is different from apps created using react-native init which have a dependency on a specific version of React Native JS and native code, declared in a package.json file (and build.gradle for Android apps).
