? Responsive Layout in React Native

? Quick Overview

Responsive layout in React Native allows apps to adapt smoothly to different screen sizes, orientations, and devices using Flexbox, Dimensions, and Platform APIs.

? Key Concepts

• Flexbox-based layout system
• Percentage and relative dimensions
• Screen orientation handling
• Platform-specific styling

? Syntax / Theory

React Native uses Flexbox by default. Layouts are defined using flex, flexDirection, justifyContent, and alignItems.

// Basic responsive container using Flexbox
import { View, Text, StyleSheet } from "react-native";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.box}>Box 1</Text>
      <Text style={styles.box}>Box 2</Text>
      <Text style={styles.box}>Box 3</Text>
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    flexDirection: "row",
    justifyContent: "space-around",
    alignItems: "center"
  },
  box: {
    padding: 20,
    backgroundColor: "#2563eb",
    color: "#fff"
  }
});
