Handle rtl/ltr in react native apps - mobile

I have a react-native app that I tested on a virtual device on my pc.
When I tried it on my phone I noticed that the direction is not set and that it is inheriting it from the device.
I couldn't find anything online regarding how to set the direction of the app.
How can I do it?

How to configure a specific setting of ios or android phone in th background if my react native app is open in foreground?

First of all I'm new as React-Native programmer. Currently I want to add a button to my React-Native(Expo) app, in which the user can turn off or on a setting. Is this possible and if so, how can I do that? For example in Android > Settings > Mobile Networks > Turn off mobile roaming?
Thank you in advance
I have tried to use HeadlessJS or a module called background actions. But there are no well documented examples and I also don't know if those modules answer my question. Because my task is more "straightforward" since I keep the app running in the foreground.

How to embed a website in expo React Native

I want to embed or just redirect to a website I made which uses a webcam. I can redirect to the website with webView however the camera doesn't work.
This is the website I want to embed. https://chinmaymhatre.github.io/currency_detector
I don't think you can permit camera access inside a webview in a react native or expo app because of security concerns, neither could I find anything like that.
I think it would be easier to just implement this right into the react native app(if the app you want to show in the webview is written in javascript)
I have tried something similar. So, sometime ago I was making a video streaming app using React Native for a website that I made using WebRTC which was using camera and other medias(Video, Audio and Screen). I tried to be smart and tried to embed the webpage directly into the React Native App. My Idea was that I could access the Camera and other user media in Mobile Browser So, it should work with React Native as well. But this is not how the react-native works, React Native doesn't uses iframe to work or in other words react-native develops Native Apps for both IOS and Android. You can always implement an iframe in expo, but this is against the Device Security to provide such level of access to user-media. The device doesn't allow such functionality via iframe (here's the link to a live example how to implement iframe in expo). So, to understand it better You should use react-native-cli to make a simple app not expo. Now for using camera in expo there's a package called expo-camera (here's link) Which helps you develop camera oriented apps using Expo. If this doesn't answer your questions then let me know. Happy Coding :)

Navigate to settings screen when location is off in Codenameone

I want to navigate to Settings screen from my app when the location of the device is off.I did this in android,but i want to do it using CodenameOne. How can i able to achieve this in CodenameOne without using native interfaces.
Thanks.
That's something that only exists in Android and is not as commonly used now-days. Location is always on for modern Android devices since even if you turn off the GPS network location still works.

Ionic side menu: Android and IOS lay-out

Now, I have set up the app for both lay-outs, but I'm struggeling with the slide-menu. I cant seem to get the right result.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!

Integrating mobile app and mobile web

Currently I am developing an app in corona sdk. It is still very early in the development stage so I can change the IDE or SDK if needed to achieve my goal.
I wish to create an app that can be played on multiple platforms(mainly ios and android) and I eventually want the users to be able to use the browser to continue playing at home with their progress saved. It is a simple app and could probably be recreated in html. They will have to login their accounts in order to play
How do i go about to achieve this? Should I complete my app in corona first, and then recreate the app in html and php and link the database to it separately or is there a specific development kit I could use that has this ability. Also, I am new to the development scene, how do I detect if the user is logged in a particular platform as I realize if they are logged in, in multiple places and give multiple entries it may cause problems.
If you are new to the development scene then you should continue developing with Corona.
Corona doesn't povide any web port but I know Unity does.
I think first you should complete your game for mobile platforms and if it will have success you can port it to web.

You might want to try phonegap (http://phonegap.com/). I have never used it, I just know that it exists, so do some research to see if it would be a good fit. This might allow you to create the app once for both browsers and mobile.
