Summary: This does fix the issue, however, another, perhaps related issue persists, the dialog/modal occasionally uses what would be the height of the app in non-immersive mode, in immersive mode. Meaning that the background, what ever it is set as, does not use the full available height. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/23207365 for more info. Known Problems: --------- * [Date/time picker](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/datepickerandroid) still brings app out of immersive mode - The date/time picker dialog needs the same treatment (this MR) as `RN Modal` using a wrapper. * Focusing on text input, which brings up keyboard, also brings app out of immersive mode. Sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently - Needs investigating. I have tried [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/25129542), unfortunately it doesn't work. **Workaround I'm using for this, is to call a native module method to re-apply immersive mode flags after `keyboardDidHide` on JS side.** Changelog: ---------- [Android] [Fixed] - Dialog (RN Modal) brings app permanently out of immersive mode Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/21078 Differential Revision: D14163127 Pulled By: cpojer fbshipit-source-id: e0b67c91fa81880b19438a939bca26c128309799
React Native ·

Learn once, write anywhere: Build mobile apps with React.
See the official React Native website for an introduction to React Native.
Requirements
Supported target operating systems are >= Android 4.1 (API 16) and >= iOS 9.0. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS by default (tools like Expo can be used to get around this).
Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
How React Native works
React Native lets you build mobile apps using JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.
With React Native, you don't build a "mobile web app", an "HTML5 app", or a "hybrid app". You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C, Java, Kotlin, or Swift. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
React Native lets you build your app faster. Instead of recompiling, you can reload your app instantly. With hot reloading, you can even run new code while retaining your application state.
React Native combines smoothly with components written in Objective-C, Java, Kotlin, or Swift. It's simple to drop down to native code if you need to optimize a few aspects of your application. It's also easy to build part of your app in React Native, and part of your app using native code directly - that's how the Facebook app works.
The focus of React Native is on developer efficiency across all the platforms you care about - learn once, write anywhere. Facebook uses React Native in multiple production apps and will continue investing in React Native. You can learn more about our open source roadmap in this blog post: Open Source Roadmap.
Full documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website. The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, https://github.com/facebook/react-native-website. Releases are discussed in the React Native Community, https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-releases, and larger discussions and proposals are in https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals.
The React Native documentation only discusses the components, APIs, and topics specific to React Native (React on iOS and Android). For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
