Android Installation

!> Make sure you are using react-native version >= 0.43. We also recommend using npm version >= 3

1. Install react-native-navigation latest stable version.

   yarn add react-native-navigation@latest
   

2. Add the following in android/settings.gradle.

   include ':react-native-navigation'
   project(':react-native-navigation').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-navigation/android/app/')
   

3. Update project dependencies in android/app/build.gradle.

   android {
       compileSdkVersion 25
       buildToolsVersion "25.0.1"
       ...
   }
   
   dependencies {
       compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
       compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
       compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
       compile project(':react-native-navigation')
   }
   

4. In MainActivity.java it should extend com.reactnativenavigation.controllers.SplashActivity instead of ReactActivity.

   This file can be located in android/app/src/main/java/com/yourproject/.

   import com.reactnativenavigation.controllers.SplashActivity;
   
   public class MainActivity extends SplashActivity {
   
   }
   

   If you have any react-native related methods, you can safely delete them.

5. In MainApplication.java, add the following

   import com.reactnativenavigation.NavigationApplication;
   
   public class MainApplication extends NavigationApplication {
   
       @Override
       public boolean isDebug() {
           // Make sure you are using BuildConfig from your own application
           return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
       }
   
       protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
           // Add additional packages you require here
           // No need to add RnnPackage and MainReactPackage
           return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
               // eg. new VectorIconsPackage()
           );
       }
   
       @Override
       public List<ReactPackage> createAdditionalReactPackages() {
           return getPackages();
       }
   }
   

   Also, add the following

   @Override
   public String getJSMainModuleName() {
   	return "index";
   }

if you are using index.js as your entry point instead of index.ios.js and index.android.js (it is the default since React Native 0.49).

Make sure that `isDebug` and `createAdditionalReactPackages` methods are implemented.

1. Update AndroidManifest.xml and set android:name value to .MainApplication xml <application android:name=".MainApplication" ... />
