useKeplerWindowDimensionsV2 use this hook instead which updates the dimensions based on root tag to handle multiple interactive component and multiple instances


import {Dimensions} from 'react-native';

You can get the application window’s width and height using the following code:

const windowWidth = Dimensions.get('window').width;
const windowHeight = Dimensions.get('window').height;

React Native for Vega applications can get the dimensions for all application component windows using the following code:

import { DisplayMetrics, Dimensions } from 'react-native';

export const useKeplerWindowDimensionsV2 = ():DisplayMetrics => {
const rootTag = useContext(RootTagContext);
const [dimensions,
    setDimensions] = useState(NativeDeviceInfo.getDimensionsV2(rootTag));
useEffect(() => {
    const handleChange = (newDimensions) => {
        if (dimensions !== newDimensions) {
            setDimensions(newDimensions);
        }
    }
};

DisplayMetrics Type:

/**
 * Vega window Dimensions
 * @platform kepler
 */
export interface DisplayMetricsKepler {
  width: number;
  height: number;
  scale: number;
  fontScale: number;
 
}

If your React Native for Vega application only has a single application component, you can just rely on Dimensions.get('window'). If you have more than one application component you will need to use Dimensions.get('windows') and identify the dimensions for the particular component you are interested in. When there is more than one Vega app component, Dimensions.get(‘window’) returns dimensions for the first component created in the app process. If you are targeting foldable devices or devices which can change the screen size or app window size, you can use the event listener available in the Dimensions module as shown in the following example.

Example Vega

import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react';
import {StyleSheet, Text, Dimensions} from 'react-native';
import {SafeAreaView, SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

const windowDimensions = Dimensions.get('window');
const screenDimensions = Dimensions.get('screen');

const App = () => {
  const [dimensions, setDimensions] = useState({
    window: windowDimensions,
    screen: screenDimensions,
  });

  useEffect(() => {
    const subscription = Dimensions.addEventListener(
      'change',
      ({window, screen}) => {
        setDimensions({window, screen});
      },
    );
    return () => subscription?.remove();
  });

  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
        <Text style={styles.header}>Window Dimensions</Text>
        {Object.entries(dimensions.window).map(([key, value]) => (

Methods

`addEventListener()`

static addEventListener(
  type: 'change',
  handler: ({
    window,
    screen,
  }: DimensionsValue) => void,
): EmitterSubscription;

Add an event handler. Supported events:

change: Fires when a property within the Dimensions object changes. The argument to the event handler is a DimensionsValue type object.

`get()`


static get(dim: 'window' | 'screen'): ScaledSize;

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

const windows = Dimensions.get('windows'); // get array of DisplayMetricsVega objects
const rootTag = useContext(RootTagContext);
let height = 0;
let width = 0;

windows.map((element) => <DisplayMetricsKepler>{
    if (element.rootTag === rootTag) {
        height = element.width;
        width = element.height;
    }
});

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
dim Required	string	Name of dimension as defined when calling `set`. Returns value for the dimension.
