React native kiosk mode functionality for Android

A simple react native plugin to achieve kiosk mode (immersive mode) on android

Props: KioskMode

import {Immersive} from 'react-native-kiosk-mode'

<View>
    <Immersive />
    <RootContainer />
</View>

Android Installation

Install the npm package react-native-kiosk-mode. Inside your React Native project, run (example):

npm install --save react-native-kiosk-mode

In android/settings.gradle, remove the line include ':app' and add the following lines

include ':react-native-kiosk-mode'
project(':react-native-kiosk-mode').projectDir = file('../node_modules/react-native-kiosk-mode/android')

NOTE : If you have included other libraries in your project, the include line will contain the other dependencies too.

In android/app/build.gradle, add a dependency to ':react-native-kiosk-mode'

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-kiosk-mode')
}

Next, you need to change the MainApplication of your app to register KioskModeModule :

import com.rn.kiosk.mode.KioskModeModule;  // add this import

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
    //...

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
          new MainReactPackage(),
          new KioskModeModule() // add this manager
      );
    }

Next, you need to add the onWindowFocusChanged function to your Apps MainActivity.java :

import android.view.View;// add this import
 //...

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
     //...
    @Override
    public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
            super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
        if (hasFocus) {
            getWindow().getDecorView()
        .setSystemUiVisibility(
                    View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN
                    | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
         }
    }
}
