React native bottom navigation in main screen

I have 2 screens.
First one is Login screen(without header) where I have "createStackNavigation"
and second one is Main screen where I would like to have bottom navigation(2 tabs) with Header in each of these two tabs.
I did bottom navigation but custom header does not work at all...It's only basic header. Can anyone have some basic example of this? Or can help me with tutorial?
My code in app.js:
const RootStack = createStackNavigator(
{
Home: {
screen: Login,
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
header: null,
}),
},
Main: MainScreen,
},
{
initialRouteName: 'Home',
headerMode: 'screen',
}
);
My code in "Main" screen:
export default createBottomTabNavigator(
{
Domov: {
screen: HomeScreen,
},
Dnevnik: Diary,
},
{
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
const { routeName } = navigation.state;
let iconName;
if (routeName === 'Domov') {
iconName='home';
} else if (routeName === 'Dnevnik') {
iconName='ios-calendar';
}
return (
<Icon name={iconName} style={{fontSize: 20, color: '#FFF'}} />
);
},
}),
tabBarPosition: 'bottom',
tabBarOptions: {
activeTintColor: 'white',
showLabel: false,
inactiveTintColor: '#4C2601',
style: {
backgroundColor: '#033D51',
},
},
});
Thank you

Add header: null in your navigationOptions in Main screen. You'll be able to add your custom header.

Navigate to root tab screen inside a tabnavigator - React Navigation

I have been using react-navigation for a while now. When I tried referring to this Snack on Expo, I realised that if I navigate inside a tab, then I could not navigate back to Home Tab screen by pressing the Home button on the tabbar. I have to click on Back button that is present on the screen in order to navigate back to home.
Here is a piece of code:
const HomeStack = StackNavigator({
Home: { screen: HomeScreen },
Details: { screen: DetailsScreen },
});
const SettingsStack = StackNavigator({
Settings: { screen: SettingsScreen },
Details: { screen: DetailsScreen },
});
export default TabNavigator({
Home: { screen: HomeStack },
Settings: { screen: SettingsStack },
});
Referring to above code, if I click on Settings from the tabbar and then navigate to Details present inside that stack then I cant navigate back to Settings when I click on Settings again. I have to click on Back button that is present in the top section of the screen.
What is wrong here?

It would be a good idea to use unique names for every new route. React Navigation uses these names as unique keys to differentiate between routes. I see a Settings in your default TabNavigator, and also another Settings for your SettingsStack StackNavigator. Same for Details too. (Simply renaming might solve your issue too, not sure).
So taking your example (and renaming Settings to SettingsScreen),
const HomeStack = StackNavigator({
Home: { screen: HomeScreen },
Details: { screen: DetailsScreen },
});
const SettingsStack = StackNavigator({
SettingsScreen: { screen: SettingsScreen },
Details: { screen: DetailsScreen },
});
export default TabNavigator({
Home: { screen: HomeStack },
Settings: { screen: SettingsStack },
});
Now, to go back to SettingsScreen from Settings > Details, you might wanna try
dispatch(NavigationActions.navigate({
routeName: 'Settings',
action: NavigationActions.navigate({ routeName: 'SettingsScreen' })
}))
The idea is that in case of nested navigators, if you want to go back to another screen via the parent, you should call Navigations.navigate twice, in a nested manner.
It's in their docs somewhere. I'll try adding the link here for reference as soon as I find it.

The tab navigator buttons only switch between the shown views. Since you navigated within your stack navigator, that's what you're seeing.
If you want to add the functionality that the stack is reset every time the tab button is pressed, you can do that by providing your own tab component and then calling reset on the stack navigator.

createTopTabs = () => {
return(
<MaterialTopTabs.Navigator initialRouteName="Tab_Daily"
tabBarOptions={{
showIcon: true,
style: { backgroundColor: '#C4e672' },
labelStyle: { fontSize: 12, fontWeight: 'bold' },
/* tabStyle: { width: 100 }, */
tabStyle: { height: 50 },
}}>
<MaterialTopTabs.Screen
name="Tab_ToDoNote"
component={TabToDoNote}
options={
{
title: '',
/* tabBarLabel: "Daily", */
tabBarIcon: () =>
(
<Icons_SimpleLine
style={
[
{
color: 'red',
}
]
}
size={25}
name={'note'}
/>
)
}
}
/>
<MaterialTopTabs.Screen
name="Tab_Daily"
component={TabDaily}
options={
{
title: '',
tabBarLabel: "Daily",
tabBarIcon: () =>
(
<Icons_MaterialCommunity
style={
[
{
color: 'red'
}
]
}
size={18}
name={'calendar-today'}
/>
)
}
}
/>
<MaterialTopTabs.Screen
name="Tab_Monthly"
component={TabMonthly}
options={
{
tabBarLabel: "Monthly",
tabBarIcon: () =>
(
<Icons_MaterialCommunity

[
{
color: 'red'
}
]
}
size={18}
name={'calendar-month-outline'}
/>
)
}
}
/>

tabBarLabel: "Yearly",

<Icons_MaterialCommunity

How to reset from drawer navigator to tab navigator in react native?

This is my current navigation
const MainNavigator = TabNavigator(
{
SignIn: {
screen: SignInScreen,
},
Home: {
screen: SubNavigator,
}
},
{
navigationOptions: {
tabBarVisible: false,
swipeEnabled: false
},
initialRouteName: 'SignIn',
lazy: true
}
);
const SubNavigator = DrawerNavigator(
{
Page1: {
screen: StackNavigator(
{
pageOne: {
screen: ScreenOne,
navigationOptions: ({ navigation }) => ({
title: 'One',
headerLeft: (
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => navigation.navigate('DrawerOpen')}>
<IOSIcon name="ios-menu" size={30} />
</TouchableOpacity>
),
headerStyle: { paddingRight: 10, paddingLeft: 10 },
})
},
pageTwo: { screen: ScreenTwo },
camera: {
screen: CameraScreen,
navigationOptions: {
title: 'Camera'
}
},
qrscanner: {
screen: QRScanner,
navigationOptions: {
title: 'QR Scanner'
}
},
},
)
},
Profile: {
screen: ProfileScreen, // log out from here
},
},
{
contentComponent: SideMenu,
initialRouteName: 'Driver',
contentOptions: {
activeTintColor: '#e91e63'
}
}
);
I want to log out from Profile and reset it to SignIn. It is triggered by onPress.
Inside code for Profile I put function and render a text like this
/*.......*/
navigateToReset(route) {
const navigateReset = NavigationActions.reset({
index: 0, key: null, actions: [NavigationActions.navigate({ routeName: route })],
});
this.props.navigation.dispatch(navigateReset);
}
onButtonPressSignOut = () => {
this.navigateToReset('SignIn');
}
/*....*/
render () {
return(
<View>
<Text onPress={this.onButtonPressSignOut}>
Sign Out
</Text>
</View>
);
}
But this gave me error:
Error: There is no route defined for key SignIn.
Must be one of: 'pageOne', 'pageTwo', 'camera', 'qrscanner'
I have searched online and found several issue like this.
This is some of the issue I found : Issue1, Issue2 but it does not work for me.
Did I miss something in the above code?
Thank you for your help and suggestion.

Side menu not covering all screen (DrawerNavigator - React Native)

I adding image of screen, this work in part of screen.
The Contacts screen need to be main page and not screen1 but its didn't work if i replace between them.
I adding the code, in 'LogedInNavigator' have there TabNavigator and DrawerNavigator - the 'Contants' page initializing from TabNavigator and part two - Screen1 with the side menu it's from DrawerNavigator - maybe it's doing the problem?
LogedInNavigator.js
import.......
styles......
const LoggedInNavigator = TabNavigator(
{
Contacts: {screen: ContactScreen,},
Chat: {screen: ChatScreen,},
Dashbaord: {screen: DashbaordScreen,},
Profile: {screen: ProfileScreen,},
Search: {screen: SearchScreen,},
},
{
initialRouteName: "Contacts",
tabBarPosition: "bottom",
tabBarOptions: {
showIcon: true,
activeTintColor: 'white',
}
}
);
export default () => <LoggedInNavigator onNavigationStateChange={null} />
export const Drawer = DrawerNavigator ({
Home:{
screen: Screen1,
navigationOptions: {
drawer:{
label: 'Home',
},
}
},
Camera: {
screen: Screen2,
navigationOptions: {
drawer:{
label: 'Camera',
},
}
},
})
Contants.js
class Contacts extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
// TBD loggedin should come from login process and removed from here
const { loggedIn, getContacts } = this.props;
loggedIn(1);
getContacts();
}
render() {
const Router = createRouter( () => ({})); //IDAN
const { navigation, avatar, contacts } = this.props;
return (
<NavigationProvider router={Router}>
<View style={{flex:1}}>

);
}
}

}
);
};
export default connect(mapStateToProps, { loggedIn, getContacts })(Contacts);
Help me please..

After a while, i want to answer on my own question (with react-navigation v2)
everything inside <RootNavigator/>
const RootNavigator= createDrawerNavigator({ Tabs }, {
contentComponent: SideMenu,
drawerWidth: Dimensions.get('window').width * .75,
})
SideMenu:
class SideMenu extends Component {
render() {
return ( //...your side menu view )
}
}
Tab:
export default createBottomTabNavigator({
Menu: {
screen: HomeStack,
navigationOptions: {
title: 'תפריט',
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
return <Icon name={'home'} size={20} color={tintColor} />;
},
}
},
Dashboard: {
screen: DashboardStack,
navigationOptions: {
title: 'בית',
tabBarOnPress: ({ navigation, defaultHandler }) => handleTabPress(navigation, defaultHandler),
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
return <Icon name={'dashboard'} size={20} color={'green'} />;
},
}
},
QuickView: {
screen: QuickNav,
navigationOptions: {
title: 'מבט מהיר',
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
return <Icon name={'short-list'} size={20} color={tintColor} />;
},
},
},
Chat: {
screen: Chat,
navigationOptions: {
title: "צ'אט",
tabBarIcon: ({ focused, tintColor }) => {
return <Icon name={'chat'} size={20} color={tintColor} />;
},
},
},
},
{
initialRouteName: 'Dashboard',
tabBarOptions: {
activeTintColor: 'green',
labelStyle: {
fontSize: 16,
marginBottom: 3,
},
},
},
)

For v5 onwards you can use drawer style
import deviceInfoModule from 'react-native-device-info';
<Drawer.Navigator
drawerStyle={{
width: deviceInfoModule.isTablet()
? Dimensions.get('window').width * 0.55
: Dimensions.get('window').width * 0.7,
}}

You can set the drawer width using Dimensions width. See the docs here
https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigators/drawer
import { Dimensions } from 'react-native';
...
const { width } = Dimensions.get('screen');
...
export const Drawer = DrawerNavigator (
{
Home:{
screen: Screen1,
navigationOptions: {
drawer:{
label: 'Home',
},
}
},
Camera: {
screen: Screen2,
navigationOptions: {
drawer:{
label: 'Camera',
},
}
},
},
{
drawerWidth: width
});

In react-navigation version 6, you can use the drawerStyle in the screenOptions prop in the Drawer.Navigator component to change the width and add styles. This applies the applied style to all screens in the navigator.
<Drawer.Navigator
screenOptions: {{
drawerStyle: {
width: 240
}
}}
>
If you want the drawer to cover the entire screen, then import Dimensions from the react-native library and use Dimensions.get('window').width
import { Dimensions } from 'react-native'
<Drawer.Navigator
screenOptions: {{
drawerStyle: {
width: Dimensions.get('window').width
}
}}
>
Refer to react-navigation drawer for more.

How to use tabBarComponent for TabNavigator? Tab bar not showing

I'm trying to make my own custom tab bar and it seems tabBarComponent is the way to do it by setting as my own component. With the below code my tab bar does not show up.
const TabNav = TabNavigator({
LaunchScreen: {
screen: PrimaryNav,
navigationOptions: {
tabBarLabel:'Find',
tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (
<Icon name='search' size={20} color='white' />
),
},
},
}, {
navigationOptions: {
headerTintColor: 'grey'
},
tabBarComponent: FooterTabs,
tabBarPosition: 'bottom',
swipeEnabled:false,
animationEnabled:false,
lazy:true,
tabBarOptions: {
showIcon:true,
showLabel:false,
style: {
backgroundColor: 'black'
}
}
});
In FooterTabs.js:
export default class FooterTabs extends Component {
render () {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text>FooterTabs Component</Text>
</View>
)
}
}
What am I missing?

const TabNav = TabNavigator({
......,
tabBarComponent: props => (
<FooterTabs{...props} />
),
tabBarPosition: 'bottom',
........
});
Try that. enclose your FooterTabs i.e <FooterTabs /> not FooterTabs

After some trial and error, the solution to my issue was to wrap my footer content in a ScrollView, then the tabs showed up as expected, though I am not sure why that is required.
I also implemented Caleb's suggestion (thanks!) of using tabBarComponent: props => <FooterTabs{...props} /> in order to pass the props which I need though was not the cause of the issue.
