How can React-Native textInput component can be modified?

Question

React-native offers developing native modules and UI components in its official site .

However I want to make minor changes in the TextInput component which is used in my app and is found on my computer. However there is no a Java file that is related with TextInput .

Is there any way to make small changes in TextInput in my app?

Answer 1

Since RN v0.21.0

The distribution of Android files have changed and is now done with npm.

The files can be found under node_modules/react-native/android/com/facebook/react/react-native/0.21.0/ in a the archive react-native-0.21.0-sources.jar

They can't be changed just like this, thought you can have a look at this

Edit : Works with RN 0.20.0 or lower

I guess what you're looking for is this file

You can modify it in your react-native folder under node_modules :

node_modules/react-native/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/views/textinput/

In order to apply changes to React Native android source and have them in the app, you have to compile it from source .

You can follow the official guide: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-building-from-source.html#content
