Search bar not rendering on iOS or Android on initial render #11627

homit-dalia · 2023-10-06T19:25:15Z

Current behavior

In the initial render of the search bar through headerSearchBarOptions, it will not render. I have 4 bottom tabs and each has its own stack navigator. Search Icon does not render on initial load but would load after I switch to another tab and then current tab.

Expected behavior

The search icon should render on the first render of the screen

Reproduction

#10848

Hey @homit-dalia! Thanks for opening the issue. It seems that the issue doesn't contain a link to a repro.

The best way to get attention to your issue is to provide an easy way for a developer to reproduce the issue.

You can provide a repro using any of the following:

Expo Snack
TypeScript Playground
GitHub repo under your username

A snack link is preferred since it's the easiest way to both create and share a repro. If it's not possible to create a repro using a snack, link to a GitHub repo under your username is a good alternative. Don't link to a branch or specific file etc. as it won't be detected.

Try to keep the repro as small as possible by narrowing down the minimal amount of code needed to reproduce the issue. Don't link to your entire project or a project containing code unrelated to the issue. See "How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example" for more information.

You can edit your original issue to include a link to the repro, or leave it as a comment. The issue will be closed automatically after a while if you don't provide a repro.

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

@react-navigation/native
@react-navigation/bottom-tabs
@react-navigation/drawer
@react-navigation/material-top-tabs
@react-navigation/stack
react-native-tab-view

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.

Acetyld · 2023-10-13T18:08:54Z

Any update on this?

homit-dalia · 2023-10-14T06:47:18Z

@Acetyld I initially set headerSearchBarOptions to true as the documentation stated that you should render atleast the UI elements in stack screens if you will update it on screen mount through .setOptions in useEffect (functional components). That was the problem. I removed headerSearchBarOptions in stack screen entirely and and now declaring it directly through .setOptions. I don't know if this is expected or headerSearchBarOptions : true is for a different context.

Any updates or workarounds? :/
Using setOptions does not work on Android. iOS works fine without any hacks.

homit-dalia · 2023-11-08T04:50:15Z

Any update on this?

I’m sorry @Robert27, but it fixed it for me after I removed headerSearchBarOptions: true in declaration and rebuilt the app.

However, it could also be an issue with if you are rendering other icons in headerRight. Try playing around the placement of those icons and see if it works.

JcbPrn · 2023-11-15T19:19:13Z

Still not working for me with the latest versions. What about you guys?

nandorojo · 2023-11-16T23:28:05Z

Hey guys, I think I fixed it by setting hideWhenScrolling: false:

  const navigation = useNavigation<Screen>()
  useLayoutEffect(() => {
    navigation.setOptions({
      headerSearchBarOptions: {
        placeholder: 'Search...',
        onCancelButtonPress: actions.stopSearching,
        onFocus: actions.startSearching,
        onChangeText: (e) => actions.onChangeText(e.nativeEvent.text),
        hideWhenScrolling: false,
      },
    })
  }, [actions, navigation])

Let me know if this fixes it for you.

Be sure to also have your scrollable component as the root node of your screen (not wrapped in a View), and to set contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior='automatic'. It also broke if I used refreshControl.

It turns out there was an issue with react-native-screens here. Updating to 3.26.0 fixed it for me.

@sidorchukandrew Hi 👋🏻, I using react-native-navigation on my expo project. When use headerSearchBarOptions not showing search icon on screen header. As you said, when I change the react-native-screens version to 3.26.0, the application stays in the splash screen, which means it crashes. So I'm using the latest version but again the search function still doesn't work.

Thank you for your interest 🙏🏻

For me it’s not, I have the same versions. While Android is fixed, it started to appear on iOS. Now search bar is not rendered on initial render somehow.

I doubt this is true. Because the problem lies in the native layer. Expo system relies on stable versions of libraries (mainly major outputs) from version to version of Expo SDK. Therefore, I think that it is worth waiting for the update along with the Expo SDK update to version 50. There will most likely already be support for React Navigation 7.

For now, I see as an alternative option to write a plugin for Expo, which will improve the work of the package.

vbornand · 2023-12-26T18:03:22Z

Therefore, I think that it is worth waiting for the update along with the Expo SDK update to version 50

It is resolved with Expo 50 still in preview but should be released in a couple of weeks. As mentioned above the bug is in another library.

Robert27 · 2023-12-26T18:31:18Z

No it’s definitely not resolved in expo sdk 50 using the latest versions of the libs.
We have a stack view with searchbar inside my tab bar and it is not rendering on the initial render on iOS. Without being nested in a tab bar it works fine.
But I agree with you that the bug is in another library.

Is there a link to MR in react-native-screens to make sure that Expo 50 will merge the solution to the problem?

Lets keep it open, still present

Faliszek · 2024-03-13T09:28:12Z

Not sure if this helps to debug, but maybe someone find useful as workaround.

For me issue fixes itself if I remove refreshing and onRefresh prop from my FlatList.
My code looks more or less like this

  useLayoutEffect(() => {
    props.navigation.setOptions({
      headerSearchBarOptions: {
        hideWhenScrolling: false,
        inputType: "text",
        placeholder: "Search assets",
        onChangeText: (event) => {
          setSearchParams((params) => ({
            ...params,
            search: event.nativeEvent.text,
          }));
        },
      },
    });
  }, [props.navigation]);

Component:

 return (
    <FlatList
      // refreshing={loading}
      // onRefresh={() => loadAssets(searchParams)}
      contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior="automatic"
      data={list}
        ListFooterComponent={() => {
        if (!loading) return null;
        return (
          <View style={styles.loadingIndicator}>
            <ActivityIndicator size="large" />
          </View>
        );
      }
      // Rest of component ...
      }} 
     />

Here are my dependencies:

    "@react-navigation/native": "^6.1.15",
    "@react-navigation/native-stack": "^6.9.24",
    "expo": "~50.0.11",
    "expo-status-bar": "~1.11.1",
    "react": "18.2.0",
    "react-native": "0.73.4",
    "react-native-safe-area-context": "4.8.2",
    "react-native-screens": "~3.29.0"

Here are screen recordings 1) Without passing refreshing and onRefresh, 2) With refreshing and onRefresh
I am guessing it is something with calculating changes on layout?

amitava82 · 2024-03-13T10:41:08Z

It didn't make any difference. The basic repo case in issue #10956 has no FlatList

coofzilla · 2024-03-22T02:44:54Z

For me, if I remove FlatList then the search bar will render initially; however, if I add the FlatList I have to scroll first for it to appear.

marijang · 2024-04-24T16:42:49Z

Yep, i m also trying to show and hide search bar but it is so buggy. When state change it says that i need to use useLayoutEffect....

can u add function for show/hide

useLayoutEffect(() => {
    if(events.planner.events.length > 0) {
      navigation.setOptions({
        headerSearchBarOptions: {
          placeholder: 'Search...',
          hideWhenScrolling: false,
          tintColor: theme.colors.primary,
          textColor: theme.colors.text,
          hintTextColor: theme.colors.textLight,
          
          onSearchButtonPress: ({ nativeEvent }) => {
            console.log('Search submitted:', nativeEvent.text); // Handle search submission
          },
          onChangeText: (e) => setSearchQuery(e.nativeEvent.text),
        },
      });
    }
  }, [navigation, events.planner.events.length]);

Using hideWhenScrolling in screenOptions of a Stack.Navigator in iOS reproduce this wrong behaviour also for me.
With any List component as root -> broken.
With any other component like a View -> correct
Any thoughts?

ipoogleduck · 2024-12-24T11:19:58Z

Fixed the issue I was having on Android by using the isFocused hook const isFocused = useIsFocused(), and then only setting the headerSearchBarOptions when isFocused is true. Example:

React.useLayoutEffect(() => {
        if (isFocused) { // User must be on this tab when search icon is set, or else it won't show
            navigation.setOptions({
                headerSearchBarOptions: {
                    ...
                },
            })
        }
    }, [isFocused, navigation]);

Seems like the issue was due to me having multiple bottom tabs with search bars and lazy loading turned off. The headerSearchBarOptions would try to set when the screen was not actually visible, but would fail.
