React-native-tab-view: Does not work in android

[developer239]

...gonna use something else...

[satya164]

I use it on Android (lots of people do actually) and I works fine. There is something specific to your setup where it breaks. Can you please provide a repro of the issue? You can post it on http://snack.expo.io

@satya164 removing zIndex produces an error. I can't tap on tab bar. It works only on iOS

Same here, it's not working on Android.

Please provide a repro with the issue, and if you get an error, post the error message. Just saying that I have the issue will not fix it, neither will help in any way.

Ok, I'm preparing it

I would like to apologize for the message that I wrote in this issue. However, I was quite frustrated because right now react-native ecosystem is extremely unpredictable. Many libraries don't work. Some of them work in older versions of react-native. The good ones work either on Android or on IOS. Finding cross-platform library is really hard.

I was working on two production-ready applications in my job for about 5-6 months. I liked it but whenever I had to present anything in react-native to my co-workers it was really hard. IOS guys were basically making fun of me and they had a right to do so.

I had to change this library to react-native-scrollable-tab-view in my first project.

I used react-native-scrollable-tab-view in my second project from the beginning.

These issues have a VERY negative impact on the general health of the react-native community.

Edit: Haha look at the react-native-scrollable-tab-view github page. https://github.com/skv-headless/react-native-scrollable-tab-view Example images are not working. Example link to a demo is not working. That is what I am talking about. I appreciate the hard work that react-native-community and skv-headless put in their libraries but these are one of many examples that react-native is not production ready at least for another year.

However, I am sure that we will get there eventually 🙂

It's not possible for me to debug this without a reduced repro case. @ikhsanalatsary thanks for the repro, but the app you linked to has a lot of things which doesn't make it easy for me to repro this.

@developer239 it's still unclear what exactly didn't work for you. we use it in production at our company and it has worked fine. it's not possible to debug an issue without any kind of info.

react-native is production ready, facebook and many other companies use it in production. many libraries available are not production ready, but that's a separate issue.

I'm closing this issue. Please open a new issue if you have a reduced test case and follow the issue template so we have enough information to debug the issue.

I Will Create a new issue with simple repro. I faced this problem if Children components are textinput
