How to place a text over image in react native?

Question

How to vertically place a text over image in react native? I found this doc. But i can't do like that , I can't add text tag as a child component of Image tag.I've tried like the below.

 <Card>
    <CardSection>
            <View style={styles.container}>
              <Image source={require('../Images/4.jpg')} style={styles.imageStyl}  />
    <Text style={styles.userStyle}>       
            {this.props.cat.name}
             </Text>
             </View>
            </CardSection>
            </Card>
const styles= StyleSheet.create({

    container:{
         flex: 1,
    alignItems: 'stretch',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    },
    imageStyl: {
    flexGrow:1,
    width:"100%",
    height:200,
    alignItems: 'center',
    justifyContent:'center',
  },
    userStyle:{
        fontSize:18,
        color:'black',
        fontWeight:'bold',
        textAlign: 'center'
    },
});

How to place the text to the center of image?Getting something like this

Answer 1

You have to use in the "css" position:'absolute' And then place your text using the css properties (like top, bottom, right, left)

React Native absolute positioning horizontal centre

Wrap the child you want centered in a View and make the View absolute.

<View style={{position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0, right: 0, bottom: 0, justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'}}> <Text>Centered text</Text> </View>
