React component that wraps the platform DrawerLayout (Android only). The Drawer (typically used for navigation) is rendered with renderNavigationView and direct children are the main view (where your content goes). The navigation view is initially not visible on the screen, but can be pulled in from the side of the window specified by the drawerPosition prop and its width can be set by the drawerWidth prop.

Example

import React, { useState } from "react";

import { Button, DrawerLayoutAndroid, Text, StyleSheet, View } from "react-native";

const App = () => {

const [drawerPosition, setDrawerPosition] = useState("left");

const changeDrawerPosition = () => {

if (drawerPosition === "left") {

setDrawerPosition("right");

} else {

setDrawerPosition("left");

}

};

const navigationView = (

<View style={styles.navigationContainer}>

<Text style={{ margin: 10, fontSize: 15 }}>I'm in the Drawer!</Text>

</View>

);

return (

<DrawerLayoutAndroid

drawerWidth={300}

drawerPosition={drawerPosition}

renderNavigationView={() => navigationView}

>

<View style={styles.container}>

<Text style={{ margin: 10, fontSize: 15 }}>

DrawerLayoutAndroid example

</Text>

<Button

title="Change Drawer Position"

onPress={() => changeDrawerPosition()}

/>

<Text style={{ margin: 10, fontSize: 15 }}>

Drawer on the {drawerPosition}! Swipe from the side to see!

</Text>

</View>

</DrawerLayoutAndroid>

);

};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

container: {

flex: 1,

alignItems: "center",

justifyContent: "center",

paddingTop: 50,

backgroundColor: "#ecf0f1",

padding: 8

},

navigationContainer: {

flex: 1,

paddingTop: 50,

backgroundColor: "#fff",

padding: 8

}

});

export default App;
