React-native-navigation: Question : How to get the left drawer to render over overlays?

[zabojad]

Issue Description

My app has a left drawer and an overlay.

On Android (did not test yet on iOS), if I open the left drawer, the overlay that was already open before is render over the drawer.

How can I have the drawer to be over the overlay?

Steps to Reproduce / Code Snippets / Screenshots

1 - SetRoot with a left drawer.
2 - right after setRoot, show an overlay

3 - when using your app, open the drawer. The overlay is rendered over the drawer on Android. I would like the contrary.

Environment

• React Native Navigation version: 7.1.0
• React Native version: 0.63.3
• Platform(s) (iOS, Android, or both?): tested on android
• Device info (Simulator/Device? OS version? Debug/Release?): device and simulator, Android 10

How logical and senseful it is to tag a question "stackoverflow", close it without any answer to the original issue and send it far away from this repo (where obviously we have most users of the lib that could help)... I really do not get it.

@zabojad The behavior you're observing on Android isn't by design. We'll implement this feature this quarter.

Thank you @guyca for your attention. Should I open another issue so that you keep track of this or will you manage it yourself?

[zabojad]

@guyca just in case it accelerate the resolution, here is a reproducer: https://github.com/zabojad/react-native-navigation/tree/issue_6656

It happens actually on both Android and iOS.

I have the feeling that there should actually be an option for choosing if the overlay should render over the drawer or not...

[guyca]

We'll add the ability to attach Overlays to specific layouts. You'll then be able to attach an overlay to the center stack, the drawer will appear above it.

We're tracking this issue internally, but you can open an issue here as well if you wish to stay in the loop.

@guyca Well, can you please just reopen this issue as it already contains description and reproducer about this problem?
