Regarding this question, I've been trying to get this done via native modules in Android.
I've declared my Module at .../java/com/myproject/multiplecamerastream
following the example at React Native ToastModule (functionality here is not important):
public class MultipleCameraStreamModule extends ReactContextBaseJavaModule {
private static final String CAMERA_FRONT = "SHORT";
private static final String CAMERA_BACK = "LONG";
public MultipleCameraStreamModule(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
super(reactContext);
}
@Override
public String getName() {
return "MultipleCameraStream";
}
@Override
public Map<String, Object> getConstants() {
final Map<String, Object> constants = new HashMap<>();
constants.put(CAMERA_FRONT, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
constants.put(CAMERA_BACK, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
return constants;
}
@ReactMethod
public void show(String message, int duration) {
Toast.makeText(getReactApplicationContext(), message, duration).show();
}
}
Then, my module packager:
public class MultipleCameraStreamPackage implements ReactPackage {
@Override
public List<ViewManager> createViewManagers(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
return Collections.emptyList();
}
@Override
public List<NativeModule> createNativeModules(ReactApplicationContext reactContext) {
List<NativeModule> modules = new ArrayList<>();
modules.add(new MultipleCameraStreamModule(reactContext));
return modules;
}
}
I've been able to register it and to make it work. However, it only calls to a Toast in Android (no layout involved).
I'd like to set a layout, so when I call <MultipleCameraStream />
in JSX it renders a native Android layout, like the following:
/* .../multiplecamerastream/MultipleCameraStreamLayout.xml */
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<TextView android:id="@+id/multipleCameraText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, I am a TextView"
/>
<Button android:id="@+id/multipleCameraButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello, I am a Button"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I make that layout to be invoked from my module scripts (MultipleCameraStreamModule
), and how can I make reference to its elements so I can interact with them from the Android module side programatically?
Thank you.
