Animated: `useNativeDriver` was not specified issue of ReactNativeBase Input

Question

I created a new react-native project today (April 3rd, 2020) and added a native-base. Then I tried to add input with the floating label. It gives a warning message: Animated: useNativeDriver was not specified. This is a required option and must be explicitly set to true or false. If I removed the floating label attribute or changed it to stackedLabel the warning disappeared. While this warning is appearing, onChangeText is not being called.

Component File

import React from 'react';
import {
  SafeAreaView,
  ScrollView,
  StatusBar,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

import {Input, Item, Label} from 'native-base';

import {Colors} from 'react-native/Libraries/NewAppScreen';

declare var global: {HermesInternal: null | {}};

const App = () => {
  return (
    <>
      <StatusBar barStyle="dark-content" />
      <SafeAreaView>
        <ScrollView
          contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
          style={styles.scrollView}>
          <View style={styles.body}>
            <Item floatingLabel>
              <Label>Test</Label>
              <Input onChangeText={text => console.log(text)} />
            </Item>
          </View>
        </ScrollView>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </>
  );
};

Answer 1

just add useNativeDriver: true to the animation config.

const [animatePress, setAnimatePress] = useState(new Animated.Value(1))

const animateIn = () => {
  Animated.timing(animatePress, {
    toValue: 0.5,
    duration: 500,
    useNativeDriver: true // Add This line
  }).start();
}

UPDATED 1:

Solution:

As the warning says, we need to specify the useNativeDriver option explicitly and set it to true or false .

1- Animation methods

Refer to Animated doc , with animation types or composition functions, for example, Animated.decay(), Animated.timing(), Animated.spring(), Animated.parallel(), Animated.sequence(), specify useNativeDriver .

Animated.timing(this.state.animatedValue, {
  toValue: 1,
  duration: 500,
  useNativeDriver: true, // Add this line
}).start();

2- Animatable components

Animated exports the following animatable components using the above wrapper:

• Animated.Image
• Animated.ScrollView
• Animated.Text
• Animated.View
• Animated.FlatList
• Animated.SectionList

When working with Animated.event() , add useNativeDriver: false/true to the animation config.

<Animated.ScrollView
  scrollEventThrottle={1}
  onScroll={Animated.event(
    [{ nativeEvent: { contentOffset: { y: this.state.animatedValue } } }],
    { useNativeDriver: true } // Add this line
  )}
>
  {content}
</Animated.ScrollView>
