'How to set the height of button in React Native Android
I am learning React Native programming for Android mobile apps. I am making a screen where I need to set height of button. I have added button in view and set the height of using style however there is no change on button height.
/**
* LoginComponent of Myntra
* https://github.com/facebook/react-native
* @flow
*/
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { AppRegistry, Text, View, Button, TextInput } from "react-native";
class LoginComponent extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1, flexDirection: "column", margin: 10 }}>
<TextInput
style={{
height: 40,
borderColor: "gray",
borderWidth: 0.5
}}
placeholder="Email address"
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
/>
<TextInput
style={{
height: 40,
borderColor: "gray",
borderWidth: 0.5
}}
placeholder="Password"
secureTextEntry={true}
underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
/>
<View style={{ height: 100, marginTop: 10 }}>
<Button title="LOG IN" color="#2E8B57" />
</View>
</View>
);
}
}
AppRegistry.registerComponent("Myntra", () => LoginComponent);
Can anyone help me to set the height of button according to my requirement?

You can set the button width as per the mentioned width easily by using following method :
<View style={[{ width: "90%", margin: 10, backgroundColor: "red" }]}>
<Button
onPress={this.buttonClickListener}
title="Button Three"
color="#FF3D00"
/>
</View>

Best solution is to use minHeight or maxHeight instead of using Height const.
Solution 3:[3]
It often happens that we want to change the dimensions of the button, which by default is extended to the entire width of the parent element. While reducing its width is not a problem – it is enough to reduce the width of the parent, but changing the height is already problematic. The Button element has no style property, so apart from changing the text color on iOS and the background color on Android, we can not set much in it.
To have more control over the button, it is better to use TouchableOpacity or TouchableNativeFeedback instead.
TouchableOpacity Function Component Example -
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, TouchableOpacity, View } from "react-native";
const App = () => {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const onPress = () => setCount(prevCount => prevCount + 1);
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.countContainer}>
<Text>Count: {count}</Text>
</View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={onPress}
>
<Text>Press Here</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: "center",
paddingHorizontal: 10
},
button: {
alignItems: "center",
backgroundColor: "#DDDDDD",
padding: 10
},
countContainer: {
alignItems: "center",
padding: 10
}
});
export default App;
Solution 4:[4]
<View style={styles.btnContainer}>
<TouchableOpacity>
<Button style={styles.btnSize}>
<Text>Change Address</Text>
</Button>
</TouchableOpacity>
<TouchableOpacity>
<Button style={styles.btnSize}>
<Text>Change Address</Text>
</Button>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
Style sheet code snippet
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
btnContainer:{
flexDirection:"row",
justifyContent:"space-between"
},
btnSize:{
width:"100%"
}
})

The component Button supports a minimal level of customization, so you have to use an other component.
You can use : Pressable or TouchableOpacity ,
<Pressable onPress={onPressFunction} style={styles.yourButtonStyle}>
<Text>I'm pressable!</Text>
</Pressable
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
yourButtonStyle: {
...
}
});
