So... I just started to learn React Native to create an android app, and I am a little confused, should I only use java script for the visual part with react and the rest of the app with java ?
Or can I make the whole app with javascript and some Node modules ?
You can write everything in Javascript for Android and iOS. That's the purpose of react-native. See an Android code example here: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/creating-a-dictionary-app-using-react-native-for-android--cms-24969
But you can also mix in native Android Java classes and then import then call them in your JS code. This is useful if you want to use components which are currently not yet implemented in react-native. Check out this example to read more about using native components: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/native-modules-android.html

How to create multiple activities in a react native android app using javascript code not via Java or Kotlin code?
I want to create a video player for react native android app with PIP mode functionality but i am unable to use in app PIP mode. Mean when i switch to PIP mode all of my app goes in PIP mode but i want only my Video player to be in PIP mode not the complete app. After researching on docs. and there i found the most probable approach for this is to use multiple activities for react native app but i don't found any doc's link for achieving this if anybody can help I will be greatfull.
I tries using positioning absolute and Animation and panresponder's combination but it is too laggy.
I'd like to use one React Native Component (https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-gifted-chat) inside my vanilla javascript project.
Is it possible to render React Native component inside vanilla javascript project? If so, then how?
Are you creating an iOS or Android app? I assume not because you are doing vanilla JS which can't be used alone for an app. In that case you can't use a React Native package. It is meant for iOS and Android, not HTML. Try looking for React packages.

Is it possible to use this api, player and methods, in a node.js or react native app?
Sorry for the basic question, but I'm a SQL / Web developer, and I need to know about the mobile app part to think about the backend part.
You should use the module at the address you are linked to if you are running the function through a webview, or you should use the React-native module to resolve this through the React-native.
This link is a 'vimeo' module used by the React-native.
I found a useful library to detect position of mobile phones, but I'm not sure how to integrate it to my project as I'm new to both JavaScript and React Native. I tried making it into a class so I can just call it like this <MotionSensor /> and monitor what it does thru the console. And I'm trying to do this without touching the Android and iOS native code so my code can work for both.
You can take a look at my App.js here.
I use the combination of create-react-native-app and Expo.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I am new to React Native, and I understand React Native injects JS to a JavaScriptCore. By looking at the examples or new react app, I can see the JavaScript is hosted in localhost:8081. In release/prod version, JavaScript files shipped within the app.
Can React Native use some JavaScript(React JS) from server in production? (like WebView which can load any html locally and remotely)
It would be great if we can deploy new UI without App release.
Thanks in advance.
Yes. Its possible to update new UI without App release in React Native.
We need to use react-native-code-push library to enable dynamic app update.
