React-native-navigation: Navigation.registerComponent does not register component with a componentId

[curtismenmuir]

Issue Description

Navigation.registerComponent() does not register the JS component with a componentId. Issue found when attempting to displaying a react-native view inside of a native Android module (using ReactRootView).

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

Issue found with component registration:

Navigation.registerComponent(
    "OtherView",
    () => require("./OtherView").default
  );

Navigation.events().registerAppLaunchedListener(() => {
  Navigation.setRoot({
    root: {
      component: {
        name: "init"
      }
    }
  });
});

Then call in Android (java) to display component using ReactRootView:

mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "OtherView", getLaunchOptions());

Screenshot:

The issue is resolved by registering component with AppRegistry (before calling setRoot):

Navigation.registerComponent(
    "OtherView",
    () => require("./OtherView").default
  );

AppRegistry.registerComponent("OtherView", () => OtherView);

Navigation.events().registerAppLaunchedListener(() => {
  Navigation.setRoot({
    root: {
      component: {
        name: "init"
      }
    }
  });
});
