Manual installation

Android

  project(':react-native-android-fragment').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-android-fragment/android')
  2. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle: 
      compile project(':react-native-android-fragment')

Usage

The primary component in this library is ReactFragment You can use this class directly if you wish, or you can extend from it to simplify your code.

A Builder pattern is provided out of the box for easy usage:

Fragment messagingFragment = new ReactFragment.Builder()
       .setComponentName("HelloWorld")
       .setLaunchOptions(launchOptions) // A Bundle of launch options
       .build();

In your Activity make sure to override onKeyUp() in order to access the In-App Developer menu:

@Override
public boolean onKeyUp(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    boolean handled = false;
    Fragment activeFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.container_main);
    if (activeFragment instanceof ReactFragment) {
        handled = ((ReactFragment) activeFragment).onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
    }
    return handled || super.onKeyUp(keyCode, event);
}

Running Sample App

NOTE: Make sure your environment is set up for React Native and Android development.
