I'm currently struggling a bit with react native. What I want to have is a library project based on react native which I can then include in some of my apps.
First thing I tried was to move all the basic react setup code [1] into a Fragment inside an existing app. This worked without any problems.
Then I started a completely new Android project with an empty Activity. Into this project I added a new Android Library project module which should contain the "react native fragment". I initialised the react native project in my root project folder then.
My current project structure looks like this:
ReactApplication - basic files (index.android.js, index.ios.js, package.json, build.gradle, settings.gradle) - app/ (contains the real native android app which includes the "react native fragment") - reactlib/ (library project which contains a fragment with the code from [1]) - ios/ - node_modules/ (contains react-native) Starting the dev-server via npm start works without any problems but as soon as I start the Android app I get the folowwing logcat outputs:
W/unknown:React(26957): Unable to dispatch keyboard events in JS as the react instance has not been attached W/unknown:React(26957): You seem to be running on device. Run 'adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081' to forward the debug server's port to the device. E/(26957): Unable to load script from assets: index.android.bundle E/ReactNative(26957): Got JS Exception: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: require Please note that I did the adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081 thing and the error is still showing up.
Later I want to create an aar out of the Android Library project and access it via maven.
What am I doing wrong? Or is what I want to do simply not possible?
