Here is an Example to Make a Call From The React Native App. With the help of this example, You can provide one tab call feature to the users of your application.
We will use react-native-phone-call package for this example.
To make Call
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | call = () => { //handler to make a call const args = { number: '0000000000', prompt: false, }; call(args).catch(console.error); }; |
In this example of making a Call from React Native App, we will open the contact number on a click of a button in dialer to call directly using a call(args) provided by react-native-phone-call. So let’s get started.
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install thereact-native-cli command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and runInstallation of Dependency
To use call we have to install react-native-phone-call package.
To install this open the terminal and jump into your project
1 | cd ProjectName |
Run the following command
1 | npm install react-native-phone-call --save |
This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory, You can find the directory in node_module the directory named react-native-phone-call.
–save is optional, it is just to update the react-native-phone-call dependancy in your package.json file.
Dependency Version for this Example used is
1 | ""react-native-phone-call": "1.0.9" |
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code.
App.js
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 | /*Example to make a call from the React Native App*/ import React from 'react'; import { Text, View, StyleSheet, Button } from 'react-native'; import call from 'react-native-phone-call'; export default class App extends React.Component { call = () => { //handler to make a call const args = { number: '0000000000', prompt: false, }; call(args).catch(console.error); }; render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Button title="Make a Call" onPress={this.call} /> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center', backgroundColor: '#ffffff', }, }); |
To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
