react-native : I have one View and the child of View is an Image , I applied opacity: 0.5 for View and opacity: 0.9 for an Image but it doesn't apply for Image ,the parent opacity is applying for child , the child doesn't take independent opacity
Use combination of 2 backgroundColor in order to imitate the opacity
After playing sometimes and be lost on the internet to find a simple solucion, I realized that at the current React-Native Version V 0.64 the opacity for the backgrounds, at least as it is commonly used for Web Dev just is not suited for React-Native.
import React from 'react';
import { ImageBackground, View, Text, StyleSheet, ScrollView} from 'react-native';
const App = () => {
return (
<ImageBackground style={ mainStyle.background } source={ { uri: "https://reactjs.org/logo-og.png" } } resizeMode="cover">
<ScrollView style={ mainStyle.overlay }> // Here its style will be used as opacity
<View style={ mainStyle.containerCenter}>
<View style={ mainStyle.homeTitleWraper}>
<Text style={ mainStyle.homeTitle }> Hello WOrld</Text>
</View>
</View>
</ScrollView>
</ImageBackground>
);};
export default App;
Style
Style, Here the First Child of the Background has to take the whole
screen size, with style overlay it will lay down like a thin blanket on top of the Background, imitating the opacity.
const mainStyle = StyleSheet.create({
background: {
width: "100%",
height: "100%",
},
overlay: {
backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, .5)' // HERE USE THE LAST DIGIT AS IF IT WERE OPACITY
},
containerCenter : {
flexDirection: "column",
justifyContent: "center",
alignItems: "center",
paddingHorizontal: 30,
marginVertical: 60,
},
homeTitleWraper: {
paddingHorizontal: 40,
paddingVertical: 100,
},
homeTitle: {
fontSize: 40,
fontWeight: "900",
textAlign: "center",
textTransform: "uppercase",
color: "white",
fontStyle: "italic",
},
containerSmall: {
marginVertical: 10,
width: "100%"
}
If you want to change the opacity of a view that doesn't recognize the opacity prop (such as a TouchableOpacity), wrap it in a View first and change the opacity prop of that.
