React Native : State value is evaluated as undefined - reactjs

Question

In my Logitem component I have a Modal which is invoked upon clicking on a Text element.
This part is working fine and I am able to handle the click event successfully.
But for some reason within the event handler method deleteSelectedRecord(), the state value is returned as 'undefined' for this.state.selecteddate
I have marked the line where the evaluation happens as Line X
This is my code
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Text, View, Modal, DatePickerIOS, TextInput, Button } from 'react-native';
import {
deleteSelectedRecordDB
} from '../src/helper';
import { Spinner } from '../src/Spinner';
export default class Logitem extends Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
const { logstringdate, bmi, weight, logdate } = this.props;
}
state = {
selecteddate: '1',
selectedweight: this.props.weight,
showmodal: false,
date: new Date(86400000 * this.props.logdate),
}
async deleteSelectedRecord(){
console.log('Delete clicked');
console.log('this.state.selecteddate ==>' + this.state.selecteddate); //LINE X
const result = await deleteSelectedRecordDB(this.props.logdate);
console.log('deleteSelectedRecord after');
console.log('result ==> '+ result);
return result;
}
setModalVisible = (visible) => {
this.setState({showmodal: visible});
}
onWeightClick = () => {
this.setState({ selecteddate: this.props.logdate, showmodal: true }, () => {
console.log('Value in props==>' + this.props.logdate);
console.log('The selecteddate in the state ==> ' + this.state.selecteddate);
});
}
onDateChange(date) {
this.setState({
date: date
});
}
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.containerStyle}>
<Modal
animationType="slide"
transparent={false}
visible={this.state.showmodal}
onRequestClose={() => {alert("Modal has been closed.")}}
>
<View style={{marginTop: 22}}>
<DatePickerIOS
date={this.state.date}
mode="date"
onDateChange={(date) => this.onDateChange(date)}
style={{ height: 100, width: 300 }}
/>
</View>
<View style={{ marginTop: 22, borderColor: '#ddd', borderWidth: 5 }}>
<TextInput
returnKeyType="done"
keyboardType='numeric'
style={{
height: 40,
width: 60,
borderColor: 'gray',
borderWidth: 1,
}}
onChangeText={(text) => this.setState({ selectedweight: text })}
value={this.state.selectedweight.toString()}
/>
<Text>KG</Text>
<Button
title="Delete"
onPress={this.deleteSelectedRecord}
style={{ marginTop: 200 }}
/>
</View>
</Modal>
<View style={styles.headerContentStyle}>
<Text>{this.props.logstringdate}</Text>
<Text>{this.props.bmi}</Text>
</View>
<View style={styles.thumbnailContainerStyle}>
<Text onPress={this.onWeightClick}>{this.props.weight}</Text>
</View>
</View>
);
}
};
const styles = {
containerStyle: {
borderWidth: 1,
borderRadius: 2,
borderColor: '#ddd',
borderBottomWidth: 0,
shadowColor: '#000',
shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2},
shadowOpacity: 0.1,
shadowRadius: 2,
elevation: 1,
marginLeft: 5,
marginRight: 5,
marginTop:10,
},
thumbnailContainerStyle: {
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
marginLeft: 10,
marginRight: 10,
flexDirection: 'row'
},
headerContentStyle: {
flexDirection: 'column',
justifyContent: 'space-around'
},
};
This is my output
As can be seen from the console output the state value of selecteddate is not undefined.
Can someone take a look and let me know what is wrong with the code ?

Answer 1

Try this code in <Button> which invokes deleteSelectedRecord method:
<Button
title="Delete"
onPress={this.deleteSelectedRecord.bind(this)}
style={{ marginTop: 200 }}
/>

Answer 2

You need to bind deleteSelectedRecord to this somewhere in your constructor:
this.deleteSelectedRecord = this.deleteSelectedRecord.bind(this)
