reactNative

React Native is a well-known mobile application development framework that allows developers to create rich, cross-platform mobile application UI using reusable components. It's ideal for building mobile applications and supports multi-platform reusable code, pre-built components, and a rich UI. Most well-known social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, have been built using React Native. 

In this course, you’ll start with a brief introduction to React Native and then cover various built-in components of React Native categorized into different categories such as basic, user interface, user interaction, and list view components. Next, you’ll learn about concepts such as application styling, navigation, Hooks, state management, and database management. You’ll find interactive quizzes and challenges throughout the course to test your understanding.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to develop mobile applications and kickstart your journey as a React Native developer.

Getting Started with Mobile App Development with React Native

# What have we learned?

This chapter started with a brief introduction to the Android components and APIs provided by React Native, and we learned about the functionalities provided by these components and APIs.

We then discussed each Android component and API in detail, such as `BackHandler`, `DrawerLayoutAndroid`, `PermissionsAndroid`, and  `ToastAndroid`. We learned: 

- How to use the `BackHandler` API to detect back button presses in Android applications so the user can return to the previous screen.

- How to use the `DrawerLayoutAndroid` component to provide the drawer layout for the user to navigate between different screens.

- How to use the `PermissionAndroid` API to request permissions from the user. 

- How to use the `ToastAndroid` API to display toast messages in the form of popup screens anywhere on the screen to provide feedback to the users.

Finally, we tested our concepts by practically applying them inside coding playgrounds.

Here's a quick summary of what we learned in this chapter.
