React Native - Floating (or popup) Screen question

I'm trying to do something like that last image, the one that has the product detail to add to cart with the blurred background
Is there a way to make that floating screen in react navite?
I'm looking for something maybe similar to it, I don't really care about the content inside of it, just the general screen popup
I dont know how its called, so pointing me in a direction to do research or just naming it so I can google it would very much be appreciated it

It's called Modal and you can use React Native's component to present it. Check for official documentation https://reactnative.dev/docs/modal
For the blur part, you can use this library https://github.com/Kureev/react-native-blur
Here is a sample code to show the modal:
import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Alert, Modal, StyleSheet, Text, Pressable, View } from "react-native";
const App = () => {
const [modalVisible, setModalVisible] = useState(false);
return (
<View style={styles.centeredView}>
<Modal
animationType="slide"
transparent={true}
visible={modalVisible}
onRequestClose={() => {
Alert.alert("Modal has been closed.");
setModalVisible(!modalVisible);
}}
>
<View style={styles.centeredView}>
<View style={styles.modalView}>
<Text style={styles.modalText}>Hello World!</Text>
<Pressable
style={[styles.button, styles.buttonClose]}
onPress={() => setModalVisible(!modalVisible)}
>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>Hide Modal</Text>
</Pressable>
</View>
</View>
</Modal>
<Pressable
style={[styles.button, styles.buttonOpen]}
onPress={() => setModalVisible(true)}
>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>Show Modal</Text>
</Pressable>
</View>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
centeredView: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: "center",
alignItems: "center",
marginTop: 22
},
modalView: {
margin: 20,
backgroundColor: "white",
borderRadius: 20,
padding: 35,
alignItems: "center",
shadowColor: "#000",
shadowOffset: {
width: 0,
height: 2
},
shadowOpacity: 0.25,
shadowRadius: 4,
elevation: 5
},
button: {
borderRadius: 20,
padding: 10,
elevation: 2
},
buttonOpen: {
backgroundColor: "#F194FF",
},
buttonClose: {
backgroundColor: "#2196F3",
},
textStyle: {
color: "white",
fontWeight: "bold",
textAlign: "center"
},
modalText: {
marginBottom: 15,
textAlign: "center"
}
});
export default App;

overlap button with another view

I have a screen where I input some values in the input field and get search results displayed accordingly (within the <View style={styles.dropdown}>). I want that the list should overlap my ActionButton. Just like it overlaps my other input field.
I have already added zIndex and it works for the second input field but not for the button.
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.safeAreaViewContainer}>
<View style={styles.container}>
<View style={styles.searchFieldContainer}>
<AddressSearchInput
addressType="favouritePoint"
iconName="search"
textChangeHandler={textChangeHandler}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.dropdown}>
<LocationsFound
addressesFound={locations.addressesFoundList}/>
</View>
<View style={styles.fieldDescription}>
<Text>Standortname:</Text>
</View>
<View style={styles.searchFieldContainer}>
<Item style={styles.searchField}>
<Input style={styles.searchText}/>
</Item>
</View>
<View style={styles.buttonContainer}>
<ActionButton buttonText="Platz Speichern"/>
</View>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
export const styles = StyleSheet.create({
searchFieldContainer: {
alignItems: 'center',
height: moderateScale(120),
},
buttonContainer: {
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'center',
zIndex: 1,
},
fieldDescription: {
alignItems: 'center',
},
dropdown: {
position: 'absolute',
top: moderateScale(215),
zIndex: moderateScale(10),
backgroundColor: '#fff',
},
container: {
height: '100%',
backgroundColor: 'white',
width: '100%',
flex:1,
},
});

You have to add styles to your <View style={styles.container}>. Like:
container: {
display:"flex",
flex-direction:"column",
//etc
}
Because now your Views are all separate from each other.

React-Native .js Variable not found error

Cannot figure out why I keep getting a ReferenceError cant find variable MarkAsRead for a mobile app I am building in react.

You forgot to add the keyword this to your function call.
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.markAsRead(item,index)}>

It looks like you have declared markAsRead as a method on your App class, so the correct way to refer to it is this.markAsRead()
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.markAsRead(item, index)}>

Button not displaying React-Native

Hi I am going through a React-Native tutorial and I used the TouchableHighLight to create a button. The first button displays properly and the second button displays a straight line with the text "Location".
'use strict';
import React, { Component } from 'react'
import {
StyleSheet,
Text,
TextInput,
View,
TouchableHighlight,
ActivityIndicator,
Image
} from 'react-native';
class SearchPage extends Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.description}>
Search for houses to buy!
</Text>
<Text style={styles.description}>
Search by place-name, postcode or search near your location.
</Text>
<View style={styles.flowRight}>
<TextInput
style={styles.searchInput}
placeholder='Search via name or postcode'/>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}
underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Go</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button}
underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Location</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
<Image source={require('./Resources/house.png')} style={styles.image}/>
</View>
);
}
}
var styles = StyleSheet.create({
description: {
marginBottom: 20,
fontSize: 18,
textAlign: 'center',
color: "#656565"
},
container: {
padding: 30,
marginTop: 65,
alignItems: 'center'
},
flowRight: {
flexDirection: 'row',
alignItems: 'center',
alignSelf: 'stretch'
},
buttonText: {
fontSize: 18,
color: 'white',
alignSelf: 'center'
},
button: {
height: 36,
flex: 1,
flexDirection: 'row',
backgroundColor: '#48BBEC',
borderColor: '#48BBEC',
borderWidth: 1,
borderRadius: 8,
marginBottom: 10,
alignSelf: 'stretch',
justifyContent: 'center'
},
searchInput: {
height: 36,
padding: 4,
marginRight: 5,
flex: 4,
fontSize: 18,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: '#48BBEC',
borderRadius: 8,
color: '#48BBEC'
},
image: {
width: 217,
height: 138
}
});
module.exports = SearchPage;

You missed to import Button. To use a component you must import that component before you use it.
import {
//...
//...
View,
Button
//...
} from 'react-native';
Just put Button inside your import statement and I hope it works.

It looks fine.
Android Emulator, Android 6.0, API 23, Google APIs Intel Atom (x86)

Not sure is it copy/paste that causes the typo, there are two missing <View> tags in your code.
<View style={styles.container}>
...
<View> // Missing tag for second button
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.button} underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
...
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View> // Missing tag for <View style={styles.container}>

I haven't spent much time to dig in and find the root cause but here is the quick fix. Remove flex:1 from styles.button block and update your render function with following.
class SearchPage extends Component {
render() {
let flextStyles = {
flex: 1
};
//rest of the code as it is
...
//replace go button with following code
<TouchableHighlight style={[styles.button, flextStyles]}
underlayColor='#99d9f4'>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Go</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
...
//rest of the code as it is
}}
Check screenshot, It will fix the problem.

Change Button Color onPress (toggle functionality) React Native

hope all is well.
I seem to be having difficulty with a basic button functionality. All I need is the state of the class to change and the button style to change every-time the button is pressed. Unlike TouchableHighlight, I need to color change to stay until the button is pressed again (to go back to the original color).
I have tried to use SwitchIOS but it doesn't seem to be easily styled into a circular button, and therefore doesn't really work out. I am a novice so still learning and would greatly appreciate your help. Here is what I have so far:
'use strict';

You can try it out by downloading Exponent to your phone from http://exponentjs.com/ (app store or beta, whichever you prefer) then loading up exp://exp.host/#brentvatne/button-color-exp

Simplest way with TouchableOpacity and active styles:
<TouchableOpacity
style={ this.state.active? styles.btnActive : styles.btn}
onPress={() => this.setState({active: !this.state.active})}>
</TouchableOpacity>
