Placeholder | NativeScript

<Placeholder> allows you to add any native widget to your application. To do that, you need to put a Placeholder somewhere in the UI hierarchy and then create and configure the native widget that you want to appear there. Finally, pass your native widget to the event arguments of the creatingView event.

Creating a Simple Placeholder

xml

<Placeholder creatingView="creatingView" />

import { Utils } from '@nativescript/core'

export function creatingView(args) {
  let nativeView
  if (global.isIOS) {
    // Example with UITextView in iOS
    nativeView = UITextView.new()
    nativeView.text = 'Native View (iOS)'
  } else if (global.isAndroid) {
    // Example with TextView in Android
    nativeView = new android.widget.TextView(
      Utils.android.getApplicationContext()
    )
    nativeView.setText('Native View (Android)')
  }

  args.view = nativeView
}
