I have 6 View
components (shown in the picture) , I want to have space between all 6 View
components.
My code:
<View style={{flexDirection:'column',flex:6}}>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'red',flex:1}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'blue',flex:1}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'white',flex:1}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'black',flex:1}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'gray',flex:1}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'yellow',flex:1}}>
</View>
</View>
</View>
Try to add padding to the element then and another blank view in each row, padding make space between each item
<View style={{
flexDirection:'column',
flex:1,
}}>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between',padding:'10'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'red',flex:2,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
<View style={{flex:0.1}}/>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'blue',flex:2,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between',padding:'10'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'white',flex:2,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
<View style={{flex:0.1}}/>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'black',flex:2,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between',padding:'10'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'gray',flex:1,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
<View style={{flex:0.1}}/>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'yellow',flex:1,padding:'10'}}>
</View>
</View>
You can simply add margins to the elements and it will work fine.
<View style={{flexDirection:'column',flex:6}}>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between', marginBottom: 10}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'red',flex:1, marginRight: 5}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'blue',flex:1, marginLeft: 5}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between', marginBottom: 10}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'white',flex:1, marginRight: 5}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'black',flex:1, marginLeft: 5}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",justifyContent:'space-between', marginBottom: 10}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'gray',flex:1, marginRight: 5}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'yellow',flex:1, marginLeft: 5}}>
</View>
</View>
</View>
you have 2 solutions in this case
first, use margin/padding for make air between flex element
and the other way is set justifyContent to 'space-between' || 'space-around'
but you must know about some information to use the best solution in a different case
1- (margin-padding)
in some case (more case), padding better margin
as you know, if we have a box ( means element ), you have two space,
first between content and border [ Inner space ]
second, space between the border and another foreign box element [ outer space ]
if you have an element and you want move element in your style you must use margin, because if you use padding for your element, inner space changed and in many cases, this approach creates some crash in your element,
{{ if you want to use padding you must create one View and wrap all of your element and set the padding for a wrapper for you }}
and if you want to use space-between || space-around, you must know this,
space-between and space-around have one diff
in space-between, space produced between elements and not create space between your element with sides
and space-around set space with elements and with sides
You can add the following in your style:
attachcontainer{
flexDirection: 'row',
justifyContent: 'space-between'
}
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",flexWrap: 'wrap'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'white',flex:1,marginHorizontal:5,marginVertical:10,}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'black',flex:1,marginHorizontal:5,marginVertical:10,}}>
</View>
</View>
<View style={{flex:2,flexDirection:"row",flexWrap: 'wrap'}}>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'gray',flex:1,marginHorizontal:5,marginVertical:10,}}>
</View>
<View style={{backgroundColor:'yellow',flex:1,marginHorizontal:5,marginVertical:10,}}>
</View>
