Fixes #264
Calling
openDrawer
only worked on the first screen, but not any subsequent ones.The
DrawerLayout
on Android expects the layout to be done after it’s attached to the window. If it’s done before then it doesn’t open.When navigating to a second screen React Native renders and does the layout first and then I start a new Activity and set the content. That’s the wrong order for the
DrawerLayout
. I fixed this by doing a second layout pass for the DrawerLayout after it’s attached to the window. I got the idea from theViewPager
component.To avoid importing an androidx namespace I checked for DrawerLayout using a string. This means it works in both React Native 0.59 and 0.60. Unfortunately couldn’t check for
ReactDrawerLayout
because it’s not public.
