Once react is up and running `MainActivity` is **stopped** and another activity takes over to run our app: `NavigationActivity`. Due to this design, there's usually no point in overriding lifecycle callbacks in `MainActivity`. # Splash screen Override `getSplashLayout` or `createSplashLayout` in `MainActivity` to provide a splash layout which will be displayed while Js context initialises. # Collapsing React header - Android only A screen can have a header, either an image or a react component, that collapses as the screen is scrolled. ## Collapsing react view ```js export default class CollapsingReactViewScreen extends Component { static navigatorStyle = { navBarHideOnScroll: false, navBarBackgroundColor: '#4dbce9', // This will be the TitleBars color when the react view is hidden and collapsed collapsingToolBarComponent: 'example.header', navBarTranslucent: true // Optional, sets a translucent dark background to the TitleBar. Useful when displaying bright colored header to emphasize the title and buttons in the TitleBar }; } ``` ## Collapsing react view with top tabs **Note:** `example.header` represents a component that's registered as a screen: ```js import Header from './Header'; Navigation.registerComponent('example.header', () => Header); ``` ```js export default class CollapsingReactViewTopTabsScreen extends Component { static navigatorStyle = { navBarHideOnScroll: false, // false, since we collapse the TopBar and the TitleBar remains visible with the top tabs topBarCollapseOnScroll: true, navBarBackgroundColor: '#4dbce9', // This will be the TitleBar's color when the react view is hidden and collapsed collapsingToolBarComponent: 'example.header', // id used to register the component expendCollapsingToolBarOnTopTabChange: false, // Don't expend the TopBar when selected TopTab changes collapsingToolBarCollapsedColor: '#4dbce9' // Optional, use this property with navBarTranslucent: true to animate between translucent and solid color title bar color }; } ``` Specify `topTab` in the screen object you use when starting your app: ```js Navigation.startSingleScreenApp({ screen: { screen: 'example.collapsingReactViewTopTabsScreen', title: 'Collapsing React TopTabs View', topTabs: [ { screenId: 'example.ListScreen', icon: require('../img/list.png') }, { screenId: 'example.secondTabScreen', icon: require('../img/list.png') } ] }); ``` # Reloading from terminal You can easily reload your app from terminal using `adb shell am broadcast -a react.native.RELOAD`. This is particularly useful when debugging on device.
