React Navigation modal height

Question

How do I set the height a React Navigation modal view so once it has appeared it will only cover about half of the screen from the bottom up, and the view below remains visi

Answer 1

Here's an example of how to achieve this in react-navigation v3.x:

App Container

const TestRootStack = createStackNavigator(
  {
    TestRoot: TestRootScreen,
    TestModal: {
      screen: TestModalScreen,
      navigationOptions: {
        /**
         * Distance from top to register swipe to dismiss modal gesture. Default (135)
         * https://reactnavigation.org/docs/en/stack-navigator.html#gestureresponsedistance
         */
        gestureResponseDistance: { vertical: 1000 }, // default is 135 },
      },
    },
  },
  {
    headerMode: 'none',
    mode: 'modal',
    transparentCard: true,
  },
);

const AppContainer = createAppContainer(TestRootStack);

Root Screen

class TestRootScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      
         this.props.navigation.navigate('TestModal')} />
      
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: 'blue',
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
});

Modal Screen

class TestModalScreen extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      
        
      
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: 'transparent',
    justifyContent: 'flex-end',
  },
  innerContainer: {
    position: 'absolute',
    bottom: 0,
    left: 0,
    right: 0,
    top: 100,
    backgroundColor: 'red',
  },
});
