How to deal with safeAreaView + React Navigation?

Question

First screenshot was without applying SafeAreaView and second screenshot is applying SafeAreaView

As shown clearly that Stack header seems bulky as compare to previously. Is there anyway where we can apply SafeAreaView to only bottom part?

Answer 1

For React Navigation v5, there is no SafeAreaView exported. The recommended way is to use react-native-safe-area-context.

Example

import { SafeAreaProvider, SafeAreaView } from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

function Demo() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView
      style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: 'space-between', alignItems: 'center' }}
    >
      <Text>This is top text.</Text>
      <Text>This is bottom text.</Text>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <NavigationContainer>{/*(...) */}</NavigationContainer>
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
}
