Touchable Opacity
This component fades out when pressed, and fades back in when released. We can style it however we want, just like a View.
We can configure the pressed opacity with the activeOpacity prop.
This is typically the most common kind of button in a React Native app.
Want to learn React Native in-depth?
If you like React Native Express, you'll love my new book, Fullstack React Native: The complete guide to React Native! Throughout the book, we'll build 7 full apps, covering complex topics like navigation, gestures, and native modules. We don't assume any knowledge of React or newer JavaScript language features, so you can dive right in regardless of your experience level. The book comes in PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats.
