I am trying to create a two column grid using flex. One column will be used to display a word or phrase and the second column will be used to translate the first column. Here is a link: http://imgur.com/nZGo8pb to give you a visual idea on what I am trying to achieve.
I am unable to get two columns side by side. I am only able to have my words appear on top of each other. This is best attempt. A huge failure.http://imgur.com/a/ICApr
My code is:
nent} from 'react';
import { Text, View,StyleSheet,Image,TextInput,ListView} from 'react-native';
class AddWords extends Component{
state = {words:['iku','konkai','kaikan'],
word:'',
EnglishWords:['go','this time','next time']
}
renderList(tasks){
return(
tasks.map((task) =>{
return(
<View key={task} style={styles.item}>
<Text>
{task}
</Text>
<Text>
</Text>
</View>
)
})
)
}
renderEnglishWords(english){
return(
english.map((english) =>{
return(
<View key={english} style={styles.item2}>
<Text>
{english}
</Text>
<Text>
</Text>
</View>
)
})
)
}
addWord(){
let words = this.state.words.concat([this.state.word]);
this.setState({words})
}
render(){
return(
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput
style={styles.input}
onChangeText={(word) => {
this.setState({word})
}}
onEndEditing={()=>this.addWord()}
/>
<View style={styles.wordContainer}>
{this.renderList(this.state.words)}
{this.renderEnglishWords(this.state.EnglishWords)}
<View style={styles.item2}>
</View>
</View>
</View>
)
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container:{
flex:1,
borderWidth:3,
borderColor:'green',
flexDirection:'column',
paddingTop:10
},
wordContainer:{
flexDirection: 'column',
borderColor:'blue',
borderWidth:2
},
input:{
height:60,
borderWidth:1,
borderRadius:5,
borderColor:'black',
textAlign:'center',
margin:10,
paddingTop:20,
paddingBottom:10
},
item:{
borderColor:'red',
borderWidth:2
},
item2:{
borderColor:'black',
borderWidth:2,
flexDirection:'column',
}
})
export default AddWords;
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You need to wrap both inner containers in another <View>
with the following style:
<View style={styles.container}>
<TextInput
style={styles.input}
onChangeText={(word) => {
this.setState({ word })
}}
onEndEditing={this.addWord}
/>
<View style={{ flexDirection: 'row', flex: 1 }}>
<View style={styles.wordContainer}>
...
</View>
<View style={styles.item2}>
...
</View>
</View>
</View>
It's because the flexDirection
in styles.wordContainer
is set to 'column', it should be set to 'row'.
