Floating label inside of border of container in React Native - reactjs

I'm trying to add a label (title) inside the border of my container. Although there are many implementations of input fields with this feature, I haven't found any for normal containers. Here's a screenshot of what I'm referring to:
I considered adding a background to the text, but since the container's background is different from the background behind it, this won't work as the colors will clash. Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this in React Native?

I haven't implemented this in react-native so I can't say if this will work for you, but I have done this in a web app before using a linear-gradient background on the label with a little padding-left and padding-right:
label {
background-image: linear-gradient(transparent 50%, #666 50%);
padding-left: 3px;
padding-right: 3px;
}
The hex value would be the background color of your input.

How to implement a overlapping Background Design in React

I'm new to React and wanted to ask what's the cleanest way to implement a background design like this. I want to know how you could change the background to blue and have the images overlap into the white area or the rings in the corners. So what is the best approach? And I don't want to use a background image
Background I want to implement
position: fixed;
background: "your image or some colors";
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
Other contents should appear accordingly if you apply proper z-index
There are several options.
You can add !important behind the code that wnna be overwrite.
add z-index for the each element. note : the higher z-index number of the element, it will be place at the top.
in-line style. where you can add tag style={{ your style here}} within your element. example
<div style={{z-index : 10, backgroundImage : black}} > Text here </div>
manual CSS with tag backgroud-image.

Focus effect on a DOM element in React

I'd like to add some kind of overlay-focus effect on an element in React.
I create a custom hook to override the default behavior of the contextMenu in my app.
When right-clicking on a certain element, I'd like to display my context menu and add an overlay to focus that element.
So far, the only method that I found was to add 4 more divs to my dom, as you can see here (1 is the overlays, 2 is my focused div, 3 is the context menu).
These divs positionning is based on the return value of getBoundingClientRect
Obviously, this is messy as hell, but I just can't think of a way to actually get this effect (I'm not good in CSS, so maybe there's an easy way to do so)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Ok, if anyone needs it, here's the CSS that I used to get this effect :
.maskFocus {
border: 3px solid #efecff;
border-radius: 8px;
z-index: 2; /* anything above the focused div */
box-shadow: #31353944 0px 0px 0px 5000px;
}

Problems in the styling of a popupDialog

I am extensively using the showPopupDialog(...) function of Dialog and it works fine. I remember that in the past it didn't work on Android or there were problems on Android, but now it works pretty well on Android.
But I have a styling problem with Android. Basically I want there to be a Component shown in the middle of the Dialog. This is the easiest case, sometimes I add buttons on the south side. In both situations, however, I can put the content of the Dialog popup exactly on the center on iOS only, while on Android there are problems.
This is my current CSS:
#media platform-and {
PopupContentPane {
margin: 0px;
padding: 1.5mm;
padding-bottom: 3.0mm;
}
}
#media platform-ios {
PopupContentPane {
margin: 0px;
padding: 1.5mm;
padding-top: 0px;
}
}
The main difference between iOS and Android is that while iOS works correctly with this CSS whether the arrow is up or down, on Android, to get the same result of iOS, I would need a CSS made like this:
#media platform-and {
PopupContentPane-ArrowTop {
margin: 0px;
padding: 1.5mm;
}
PopupContentPane-ArrowBottom {
margin: 0px;
padding: 1.5mm;
padding-bottom: 3.0mm;
}
}
Or something similar (with a few more tweaks).
So, on Android, when the arrow is on the bottom I need an extra padding-bottom. That'all, but it's not possible because currently there aren't an UUID for the PopupContentPane when the arrow in on the top and another UUID when the arrow is on the bottom.
Any idea or workaround? Thank you
(I add that so far this is the only situation where I need to use the #media tag of CSS to differentiate iOS styles from Android styles.)
Originally when we wrote the popup dialog it was an iOS only feature since the styling were only on iOS. We used a 9-piece image border to do the popup and we didn't want to replicate that theme element in every one of the native themes so we left it to the developer.
Later on we came up with the ability to show an arrow on a RoundRectBorder. Another advantage was the move on iOS/Android to flat design which made the previously complex dialog style into a simple solid white popup. So we implemented this cross platform in white. But because iOS has the pre-existing image border it's still used on iOS and wasn't removed. We should probably remove it and deal with the minor compatibility issues that arise.
I recently worked on that in InteractionDialog here: https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/blob/master/CodenameOne/src/com/codename1/components/InteractionDialog.java#L786-L815
It might make sense to do something similar for Dialog which doesn't seem to have that code anywhere: https://github.com/codenameone/CodenameOne/blob/master/CodenameOne/src/com/codename1/ui/Dialog.java#L1209

What approach do you follow when using animations with styled-components

Im trying to create an acordion with react and styled-components.
Im trying changing display: none to display:block and adding a transition, but it changes with no transition, it only works fine if i remove the display property on the styled-component but i can see part of the div if i remove that property.Sorry for my english and thanks

I think your problem was in this part of the css
const AcordionItemWrapper = styled.div`
width: 100%; // This is now 100% and not 80%
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: blue;
`;
And this change produces this result.
This ensures that your darkgoldenrod tab is 100% of it's containers width. When it is active the dropdown is also 100%.
After further investigation I have found your problem. Some mark up issues, plus browser applies a default margin on certain html elements. In this case paragraph has a default margin being applied. background color is ignored when margin is used.
The below link should be what you want.

ExtJS 4 form textfield and color (background)

There is simple form and some textfields on this form. I have to set colors
(background and font) in two of them on runtime.
I tried to do it two ways:
1) fieldInstance.addClass('aaa') with css like this
.aaa .x-form-field {
background-color: black;
color: red;
}
2) fieldInstance.setFieldStyle('font-weight: bold;color: red;background-color: black;');
both methods are working because I see the bottom age of both is
fields is thick in black color, and both fields are working the same (almost) way.
Before enter and after exit background color is white.
When I start to edit this fields, background of first
is always white, background of the second is black until
I leave the field.
Could you explain me whats wrong?
For <input> element applied many classes beside x-form-field, like x-form-text and some of them define color and background-color aswell. So I guess that some of that classes may be more specific than .aaa .x-form-field. Try to use !important within your CSS rules:
.aaa .x-form-field {
background-color: black !important;
color: red !important;
}
I think that the 1st function append a class to the Others already presents.
In the second case you replace values of style already setted.
Maybe to have the same issue you need to modify the x-form-field fields, instead of append Others.
I Always use the second option if i have to modify style on Runtime.
maybe posting other code i can see better where the problem could present
