<p>React Native is great when you are starting a new mobile app from scratch.
However, it also works well for adding a single view or user flow to existing
native applications. With a few steps, you can add new React Native based
features, screens, views, etc.</p>
<p>The specific steps are different depending on what platform you're targeting.</p>

Install JavaScript dependencies</h3>
<p>Go to the root directory for your project and create a new <code>package.json</code> file
with the following contents:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">{
<span class="hljs-attr">"name"</span>: <span class="hljs-string">"MyReactNativeApp"</span>,
<span class="hljs-attr">"version"</span>: <span class="hljs-string">"0.0.1"</span>,
<span class="hljs-attr">"private"</span>: <span class="hljs-literal">true</span>,
<span class="hljs-attr">"scripts"</span>: {
<span class="hljs-attr">"start"</span>: <span class="hljs-string">"node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start"</span>
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Next, you will install the <code>react</code> and <code>react-native</code> packages. Open a terminal
or command prompt, then navigate to the root directory for your project and type
the following commands:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">$ npm install --save react@<span class="hljs-number">16.0</span><span class="hljs-number">.0</span>-beta<span class="hljs-number">.5</span> react-native
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Make sure you use the same React version as specified in the
<a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/package.json">React Native package.json</a>
for your release. This will only be necessary as long as React Native depends
on a pre-release version of React.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This will create a new <code>/node_modules</code> folder in your project's root directory.
This folder stores all the JavaScript dependencies required to build your
project.</p>

Install CocoaPods</h3>
<p><a href="http://cocoapods.org">CocoaPods</a> is a package management tool for iOS and macOS
development. We use it to add the actual React Native framework code locally
into your current project.</p>
<p>We recommend installing CocoaPods using <a href="http://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a>.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">$ <span class="hljs-keyword">brew </span><span class="hljs-keyword">install </span>cocoapods

<p>It is technically possible not to use CocoaPods, but that would require manual

<p>Before you integrate React Native into your application, you will want to decide
what parts of the React Native framework you would like to integrate. We will
use CocoaPods to specify which of these &quot;subspecs&quot; your app will depend on.</p>
<p>The list of supported <code>subspec</code>s is available in
<a href="https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/React.podspec"><code>/node_modules/react-native/React.podspec</code></a>.
They are generally named by functionality. For example, you will generally
always want the <code>Core</code> <code>subspec</code>. That will get you the <code>AppRegistry</code>,
<code>StyleSheet</code>, <code>View</code> and other core React Native libraries. If you want to add
the React Native <code>Text</code> library (e.g., for <code>&lt;Text&gt;</code> elements), then you will
need the <code>RCTText</code> <code>subspec</code>. If you want the <code>Image</code> library (e.g., for
<code>&lt;Image&gt;</code> elements), then you will need the <code>RCTImage</code> <code>subspec</code>.</p>
<p>You can specify which <code>subspec</code>s your app will depend on in a <code>Podfile</code> file.
The easiest way to create a <code>Podfile</code> is by running the CocoaPods <code>init</code> command
in the <code>/ios</code> subfolder of your project:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs"><span class="hljs-meta">$</span><span class="bash"> pod init</span>
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>Podfile</code> will contain a boilerplate setup that you will tweak for your
integration purposes. In the end, <code>Podfile</code> should look something similar to
this:</p>
<p><block class="objc" /></p>

required. It can be a small file that <code>require</code>s other file that are part of

<p>Now that your React Native component is created via <code>index.js</code>, you need to add
that component to a new or existing <code>ViewController</code>. The easiest path to take
is to optionally create an event path to your component and then add that
component to an existing <code>ViewController</code>.</p>
<p>We will tie our React Native component with a new native view in the
<code>ViewController</code> that will actually host it called <code>RCTRootView</code> .</p>

Event Handler</h5>
<p>We will now add an event handler from the menu link. A method will be added to
the main <code>ViewController</code> of your application. This is where <code>RCTRootView</code> comes
into play.</p>
<p>When you build a React Native application, you use the React Native packager to
create an <code>index.bundle</code> that will be served by the React Native server. Inside
<code>index.bundle</code> will be our <code>RNHighScore</code> module. So, we need to point our
<code>RCTRootView</code> to the location of the <code>index.bundle</code> resource (via <code>NSURL</code>) and
tie it to the module.</p>
<p>We will, for debugging purposes, log that the event handler was invoked. Then,
we will create a string with the location of our React Native code that exists
inside the <code>index.bundle</code>. Finally, we will create the main <code>RCTRootView</code>.
Notice how we provide <code>RNHighScores</code> as the <code>moduleName</code> that we created
<a href="#the-react-native-component">above</a> when writing the code for our React Native
component.</p>
<p><block class="objc" /></p>

Configure permissions for development error overlay</h5>
<p>If your app is targeting the Android <code>API level 23</code> or greater, make sure you
have the <code>overlay</code> permission enabled for the development build. You can check
it with <code>Settings.canDrawOverlays(this);</code>. This is required in dev builds
because react native development errors must be displayed above all the other
windows. Due to the new permissions system introduced in the API level 23, the
user needs to approve it. This can be achieved by adding the following code to
the Activity file in the onCreate() method. OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE is a
field of the class which would be responsible for passing the result back to the
Activity.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css java"><span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT &gt;= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
<span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (!Settings.canDrawOverlays(<span class="hljs-keyword">this</span>)) {
Intent intent = <span class="hljs-keyword">new</span> Intent(Settings.ACTION_MANAGE_OVERLAY_PERMISSION,
Uri.parse(<span class="hljs-string">"package:"</span> + getPackageName()));
startActivityForResult(intent, OVERLAY_PERMISSION_REQ_CODE);
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Finally, the <code>onActivityResult()</code> method (as shown in the code below) has to be
overridden to handle the permission Accepted or Denied cases for consistent UX.</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css java"><span class="hljs-meta">@Override</span>

get it to render something. To do this, we're going to create an <code>Activity</code> that
creates a <code>ReactRootView</code>, starts a React application inside it and sets it as
the main content view.</p>

mReactInstanceManager.onHostDestroy(<span class="hljs-keyword">this</span>);
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>We also need to pass back button events to React Native:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css java"><span class="hljs-meta">@Override</span>
<span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">public</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> <span class="hljs-title">onBackPressed</span><span class="hljs-params">()</span> </span>{
<span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (mReactInstanceManager != <span class="hljs-keyword">null</span>) {
mReactInstanceManager.onBackPressed();
} <span class="hljs-keyword">else</span> {
<span class="hljs-keyword">super</span>.onBackPressed();
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>This allows JavaScript to control what happens when the user presses the
hardware back button (e.g. to implement navigation). When JavaScript doesn't
handle a back press, your <code>invokeDefaultOnBackPressed</code> method will be called. By
default this simply finishes your <code>Activity</code>.</p>
<p>Finally, we need to hook up the dev menu. By default, this is activated by
(rage) shaking the device, but this is not very useful in emulators. So we make
it show when you press the hardware menu button (use <code>Ctrl + M</code> if you're using
Android Studio emulator):</p>
<pre><code class="hljs css java"><span class="hljs-meta">@Override</span>
<span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">public</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">boolean</span> <span class="hljs-title">onKeyUp</span><span class="hljs-params">(<span class="hljs-keyword">int</span> keyCode, KeyEvent event)</span> </span>{
<span class="hljs-keyword">if</span> (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU &amp;&amp; mReactInstanceManager != <span class="hljs-keyword">null</span>) {
mReactInstanceManager.showDevOptionsDialog();
<span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">true</span>;
}
<span class="hljs-keyword">return</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">super</span>.onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
}
</code></pre>
<p>Now your activity is ready to run some JavaScript code.</p>

<p>You have now done all the basic steps to integrate React Native with your
current application. Now we will start the React Native packager to build the
<code>index.bundle</code> package and the server running on localhost to serve it.</p>
<h5><a class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" name="1-run-the-packager"></a><a href="#1-run-the-packager" aria-hidden="true" class="hash-link" ><svg aria-hidden="true" height="16" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 16 16" width="16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z"></path></svg></a>1. Run the packager</h5>
<p>To run your app, you need to first start the development server. To do this,
simply run the following command in the root directory of your React Native
project:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs"><span class="hljs-meta">$</span><span class="bash"> npm start</span>
</code></pre>

Run the app</h5>
<p>Now build and run your Android app as normal.</p>
<p>Once you reach your React-powered activity inside the app, it should load the
JavaScript code from the development server and display:</p>

<p>You can use Android Studio to create your release builds too! It’s as easy as
creating release builds of your previously-existing native Android app. There’s
just one additional step, which you’ll have to do before every release build.
You need to execute the following to create a React Native bundle, which will be
included with your native Android app:</p>
<pre><code class="hljs">$ react-<span class="hljs-keyword">native</span> bundle --platform android --dev <span class="hljs-keyword">false</span> --entry-<span class="hljs-keyword">file</span> index.js --bundle-output android<span class="hljs-regexp">/com/y</span>our-company-name<span class="hljs-regexp">/app-package-name/</span>src<span class="hljs-regexp">/main/</span>assets<span class="hljs-regexp">/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/</span>com<span class="hljs-regexp">/your-company-name/</span>app-<span class="hljs-keyword">package</span>-name<span class="hljs-regexp">/src/m</span>ain<span class="hljs-regexp">/res/</span>
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Don’t forget to replace the paths with correct ones and create the assets
folder if it doesn’t exist.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now just create a release build of your native app from within Android Studio as
usual and you should be good to go!</p>
