Issue
This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by Vincensiu
I’m following the guide from https://reactnavigation.org/docs/bottom-tab-navigator/
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';
import MaterialCommunityIcons from 'react-native-vector-icons/MaterialCommunityIcons';
const Tab = createBottomTabNavigator();
function MyTabs() {
return (
<Tab.Navigator
initialRouteName="Feed"
screenOptions={{
tabBarActiveTintColor: '#e91e63',
}}
>
<Tab.Screen
name="Feed"
component={Feed}
options={{
tabBarLabel: 'Home',
tabBarIcon: ({ color, size }) =>
<MaterialCommunityIcons name="home" color={color} size={size} />
}}
/>
<Tab.Screen
name="Notifications"
component={Notifications}
options={{
tabBarLabel: 'Updates',
tabBarIcon: ({ color, size }) =>
<MaterialCommunityIcons name="bell" color={color} size={size} />
}}
/>
</Tab.Navigator>
);
}
Everything works, except it shows the wrong icon. ‘home’ icon displays sad emoji, and ‘bell’ icon displays sad emoji with sweat.
I tried to change name=""
in <MaterialCommunityIcons>
icons and it all shows different icons that what the name suggested.
The icon that appears are also coloured, so I suspected that it might not be rendering MaterialCommunityIcons at all.
Could someone suggest what might have gone wrong please?
Thank you
Solution
For solving the issue follow these steps
- create folder called font inside android/app/src/main/assets
- Copy all Fonts inside the node_modules\react-native-vector-icons\Fonts
- Paste the same to the above created folder(android/app/src/main/assets/fonts)
Hope it will fix the issue.
