ToolbarAndroid

NOTE: Toolbar Android has been deprecated and removed from the package since React Native v0.61.0. Use @react-native-community/toolbar-android instead.

React component that wraps the Android-only Toolbar widget. A Toolbar can display a logo, navigation icon (e.g. hamburger menu), a title & subtitle and a list of actions. The title and subtitle are expanded so the logo and navigation icons are displayed on the left, title and subtitle in the middle and the actions on the right.

If the toolbar has an only child, it will be displayed between the title and actions.

Although the Toolbar supports remote images for the logo, navigation and action icons, this should only be used in DEV mode where require('./some_icon.png') translates into a bundler URL. In release mode you should always use a drawable resource for these icons. Using require('./some_icon.png') will do this automatically for you, so as long as you don't explicitly use e.g. {uri: 'http://...'}, you will be good.

Example:

render: function() {
return (
<ToolbarAndroid
logo={require('./app_logo.png')}
title="AwesomeApp"
actions={[{title: 'Settings', icon: require('./icon_settings.png'), show: 'always'}]}
onActionSelected={this.onActionSelected} />
)
},
onActionSelected: function(position) {
if (position === 0) { // index of 'Settings'
showSettings();
}
}

  • title: required, the title of this action
  • icon: the icon for this action, e.g. require('./some_icon.png')
  • show: when to show this action as an icon or hide it in the overflow menu: always, ifRoom or never
  • showWithText: boolean, whether to show text alongside the icon or not
