Dimensions

Dimensions

Methods

static set(dims)

This should only be called from native code by sending the didUpdateDimensions event.

@param {object} dims Simple string-keyed object of dimensions to set

static get(dim)

Initial dimensions are set before runApplication is called so they should be available before any other require's are run, but may be updated later.

Note: Although dimensions are available immediately, they may change (e.g due to device rotation) so any rendering logic or styles that depend on these constants should try to call this function on every render, rather than caching the value (for example, using inline styles rather than setting a value in a StyleSheet).

Example: var {height, width} = Dimensions.get('window');

@param {string} dim Name of dimension as defined when calling set. @returns {Object?} Value for the dimension.

static addEventListener(type, handler)

Add an event handler. Supported events:

• change: Fires when a property within the Dimensions object changes. The argument to the event handler is an object with window and screen properties whose values are the same as the return values of Dimensions.get('window') and Dimensions.get('screen'), respectively.

static removeEventListener(type, handler)

Remove an event handler.
