Does the defaultSource file load if you use it in the source attribute?

[ajoshdee]

yes, i already tried it

[leeight]

It works well on the master branch.
Could you post an rnplay url to reproduce it?

[DanielMSchmidt]

Isn't rnplay quite outdated, speaking of the RN Version?

@leeight
on 0.33 default Image is not loading. Is master on 0.33 or 0.34 rc ?

[ajoshdee]

I noticed that other props must be set in order for the defaultSource to work, ex: backgroundColor, margin...

[cheetahcoding]

I'm getting the same issue. Note that defaultSource DOES load correctly if you remove the source attribute. That's not really acceptable though. @ajoshdee which props exactly? is it consistent?

[oleolek]

Having the same issue with RN 0.39.

@JulianCurrie, when I set 'backgroundColor: white', defaultSource is loading.

I've met the same problem in RN 0.41
But I found that if I set an 'onLoad' prop with the empty function (()=>null) to the Image tag, can make it work.

@CDog34 can you post an example? I have the same issue and can't seem to fix it.

[winterbe]

I've noticed the same behavior with RN 0.43.3. In some cases defaultSource doesn't show while in other cases it works as expected. As a workaround I use blurRadius={0} on the Image to properly show the default source.

Assumption: Problem could be related to the size of image. In my case defaultSource image is kinda low (width 40px). It shows correctly when shown as a thumbnail of small size but it doesn't show when rendered to a larger size (almost full device screen).

Just hit the same issue. borderRadius={1} was enough to fix for me.

[aliharis]

For mine it started worked once I set the backgroundColor for Image.

<Image resizeMode="cover"
    defaultSource={require('../assets/placeholder-image.png')}
    source={{ uri: rowData.thumbnail }} 
    style={{ backgroundColor: '#f1eff0', height: 150, width: 150 }} />

It seems if you set any prop, it works.

However, I am experiencing a different issue. I have the image in a renderRow() of a ListView. When I delete one row, let's say the first, the source image goes on top of the second image row.

[rohitgoyal]

It is working on iOS for me but looks like the 'defaultSource' is not supported on Android.

[CDog34]

@rohitgoyal Yes, it is iOS only according to the official documents.
