export default class Alert extends Component {

  constructor(props) {

        <Text>I'm AwesomeAlert</Text>
        <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {
          this.showAlert();
        }}>
          <View style={styles.button}>

          </View>
        </TouchableOpacity>

        <AwesomeAlert
          show={showAlert}
          showProgress={false}
          message='Incorrect Username/Password Used{“\n”}Please try again…'
          messageStyle={styles.textStyle}
          closeOnTouchOutside={true}
          closeOnHardwareBackPress={false}
          contentContainerStyle={styles.alertStyle}
        />

    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
  },
  button: {
    margin: 10,
    paddingHorizontal: 10,
    paddingVertical: 7,
    borderRadius: 5,
    backgroundColor: '#AEDEF4',
  },
  text: {
    color: '#fff',
    fontSize: 15
  },
  alertStyle: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    backgroundColor: 'white', 
    height: 100,
    width: '60%',
    borderWidth: 1,
    borderColor: '#fff',
    borderRadius: 7,
    color: 'red'
  },
  textStyle: {
      fontSize: 14,

      alignItems: 'center'
  }

});

i have tried 'Incorrect Username/Password Used{“\n”}Please try again…' but still no luck

please let me know where it is going wrong

Answer 1

You need to change your message string to using backtick ` and add \n. This should work now.

message={`Incorrect Username/Password Used \n Please try again…`}

You might also change the container width to 80% and add textAlign:"centre" to textStyle CSS so that that it look better.

Here is what I managed to produce:
