React Native: Ejecting Expo To Regular React Native Project.

Before explaining the steps for eject from expo, I would like to thank the expo community who has done really a great job, it was nightmare for us to start with ReactNative initially without expo. Expo has done remarkable job and simplified the whole process to us. So we should thank expo community for that. But Expo has come up with its own limitations, it is really difficult to go forward with those limitations, hence ejecting from expo is must.

Follow below steps and find the issues listed in each step and the solutions for the issues faced during eject process. Follow all the below steps

1. npm run eject

<span style="color: #000000;">? How would you like to eject from create-react-native-app? (Use arrow keys)
❯ React Native: I'd like a regular React Native project. 
  ExpoKit: I'll create or log in with an Expo account to use React Native and the Expo SDK. 
  Cancel: I'll continue with my current project structure. 
Choose 1st option</span>

2. then run the command

react-native run-android
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug)…

Problem:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ‘:app’.
> SDK location not found. Define location with sdk.dir in the local.properties file or with an ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

* Try:
Run with –stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with –info or –debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 45.174 secs
Could not install the app on the device, read the error above for details.
Make sure you have an Android emulator running or a device connected and have
set up your Android development environment:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/android-setup.html

Solution:
Create local.properties in the andoid project folder and save the below content in that
sdk.dir = /Users/USERNAME/Library/Android/sdk
USERNAME: USERNAME should be your maachine user name

3. run the command

$ sudo react-native run-android

Problem:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:app:installDebug’.
> com.android.builder.testing.api.DeviceException: No connected devices!

* Try:
Run with –stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with –info or –debug option to get more log output.

   Solution : Use proper cable and connect your device, enable debug mode in your android device. this is problem with some devices, do not spend time on this, because you will face bigger problems later 🙂 so either change the device or try with different cable.

React Native Building In Android and iOS: After Ejecting(Detaching) Expo with ExpoKit

React Native Building In Android and iOS: After Ejecting(Detaching) Expo

I am trying to build React Native app for android and iOS but keep finding one and other issues. After so much struggle I succeeded with initial hickups but now struck at one point where I am not finding any solution.

Problems I am facing with React Native Build For Android and iOS , before encountering the issue I followed the below steps

1. Install Cocoapods (https://cocoapods.org/)
2. Run pod install from your project’s ios directory.
3. Run ‘react-native run-ios’ in the project root folder.
4. Run ‘react-native run-android’ in the project root folder.

After running react-native run-android I am getting below error.

:app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug 
FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/android/gms/auth/api/signin/zzc.class

Solution:

The solution is to find the conflicting dependencies using following command inside your app/android folder

$ ./gradlew app:dependencies

Closely observe the dependency hierarchy and check the conflicted dependency for com.google.android.gms. To resolve this you have to exclude it for specific dependency as follows, see the updated build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  compileSdkVersion 26
  buildToolsVersion '26.0.1'

  defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.mycompany.testapp"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true
    ndk {
      abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86'
    }
    manifestPlaceholders = [
      'appAuthRedirectScheme': 'com.mycompany.testapp'
    ]
  }
  buildTypes {
    release {
      minifyEnabled false
      proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
  }
  dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "8g"
  }
}

task exponentPrebuildStep(type: Exec) {
  workingDir '../../'

  if (System.getProperty('os.name').toLowerCase().contains('windows')) {
    commandLine 'cmd', '/c', '.\\.expo-source\\android\\detach-scripts\\prepare-detached-build.bat'
  } else {
    commandLine './.expo-source/android/detach-scripts/prepare-detached-build.sh'
  }
}
preBuild.dependsOn exponentPrebuildStep

repositories{
  flatDir{
    dirs 'libs'
  }
  mavenLocal()
  maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}

dependencies {

  compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
      exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'

  compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
  compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
  compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1") {
      force = true;
  }

ReactJS/Redux Exception – Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘type’ of undefined

This issue might occur in many cases but one case which is hard to troubleshoot and debug is as given below. The typical call stack looks as follows for the exception

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined
at bundle.js:64518
    at bundle.js:64518
    at Array.forEach (&lt;anonymous&gt;)
    at x (bundle.js:64518)

One can make out nothing from the call stack, it looks meaningless. Hence the debugging will be tedious job in ReactJS . 

Solution for the above exception

check whether return statement with dispatch is missing in your redux action method.

  return (function (dispatch) {

  });

Your action should have return statement as shown above.

Advantages of React Stateless Functional Components

Before reading this post, if you have not gone through what are functional components in Reactjs then kindly go through this post

In this post we will see what are the advantages of functional posts in React js. If you check your react js code, you will quickly figure out that many components do not actually need state, they do get data from parent as props and will render the information. In such a case why to introduce state and make it complicated? rather I would prefer calling a function which returns me a component. Isn’t it so simple ? React 14 introduced Functional Components, also called as stateless components and removed unnecessary complications. So let us explore what are the advantages of stateless components 

Advantages of React Functional/Stateless Components: Ref

1. More focused on presentation

React is forcing us to write components which are used only for presentational purpose, these components are useful for dumb presentational purpose only, that focus on UI rather than behaviour. Technically speaking its normal tendency to go for stateful components, doing that way we are making our code easily hackable where every damn component keeps its own local state. Functional components allowing us to have pure components which just focus on presentation. where as the state is maintained by few higher level components.

2. Gain in Performance

Stateless components will bring performance gain since there is no state and lifecycle of a component. React doesn’t need to have unnecessary check and memory allocations which eventually brings performance boost.

3. Clean and Optimised Code

Stateless components reduce lot of code, almost 20% – 30% reduction in code and hence the code will become clean and optimised.

4. Easy to debug

Functional components are pure components and helps your to analyse your code quickly and you no need to put log if assert calls everywhere to debug.

Glimpse Of Intel AI & HPC Summit : Application’s Of Artificial Intelligence – Part 3

Read my previous article Part 2

Intel demonstrated some of the great applications of Artificial Intelligence where Intel’s hardwares and softwares out performing to solve complex problems in realtime using AI. Intel is working with many customers to solve their complex problems. 

Application’s Of Artificial Intelligence

1. Tumour detection in large 3-D medical images

Identifying tumour from huge medical images is yet another complex problems, today we have algorithms which does this job better than doctors.

2. Disease Risk Prediction Using Genetic Variation Data

3. Classification and predictions of protein sequences

4. Intelligent Knowledge Management 

This is another interesting application where, the algorithms analyse the huge set of documents and help the management to answer for complex queries.

5. Oil Rig Inspector Assist System

This is a very complex problem, identifying corrosion on nut-bolts under deep sea water is a complex problem solve for oil mining industries. Currently it is a manual process, where video cameras are fixed in oil rig systems and several hundred people will manually go through thousands of frames of videos manually and identify the corrosion on nut-bolts.

Now Intel is working with such industries to automate the process by analysing the video frames. thousands of video frames will be analysed in just few hours. The algorithms are capable of identifying the corrosion with great precision.

6. Self driving Cars and Car automation

BMW CARASSO is the system based on ai, the company is using to collect data from several sensors to debug their hard systems and to achieve the quality in their product. Company is using this system only for their internal quality improvements and to understand the roads and behaviour of the cars.

Intel has lot of open source code base which can be used for many such applications, kindly see the source code of Intel’s Nervana in Github

Glimpse Of Intel AI & HPC Summit : Intel’s Vision For Artificial Intelligence Part 2

Kindly read part 1 of this article .The next biggest step taken by Intel is bringing out Intel Xeon Platinum processor. This will bring a transformation in cloud computing, there are multiple benefits we gain from Xeon processors as given below.

Benefits Of Intel Xeon Processors:

Breakthrough Performance of Intel Xeon Platinum

Intel Xeon Breakthrough Performance

Intel Xeon Breakthrough Performance

Along with this Intel is addressing several issues to bring the speed in computing – the biggest problem in computing is the waiting time of the processor due to slow response of hard drives. Hard drives are very slower compared to processors and hence processors always waste their time to wait for hard drives.

Intel addressing the waiting time of processors through Intel’s 3D NAND technology and Intel OPTANE technology, through these technology we can bring highly responsive applications, highly responsive cloud storage.

Glimpse Of Intel AI & HPC Summit : Intel’s Vision For Artificial Intelligence

Thought of writing highlights of Intel AI & HPC Summit held in Bengaluru on 9Mar2018, The event was superb What is AI, What is current state of AI, What is future of AI. Now the whole world is talking a lot about AI , Artificial intelligence is transforming the industries, health care, transportation, education and our entire life style 🙂 There are lot of positive side of Artificial Intelligence but many people are afraid about the future, some even say Humanity may destroy either by natural disasters or by AI and some of the demos shown in yesterday’s summit also tend to think us in that way.

What is AI (Artificial Intelligence) ?

Well I do not give textbook definition for AI, because one google search on this topic will give you many definitions, here I would like to explain AI in simple way, humans are most intelligent animals on this planet, we invented machines to ease our life, we learn to manage and control the machines for our comfort, but that era is over, now we are onto a new transformation, machines are becoming smarter than humans, with no doubt one can say in future machines will control humans 🙂 thats all AI 

for your better understanding of AI, Intel defines as ” the key to machine intelligence is that it must be able to sense, reason, and act, then adapt based on experience.”

  • Sense—Identify and recognize meaningful objects or concepts in the midst of vast data. Is that a stoplight? Is it a tumor or normal tissue?
     
  • Reason—Understand the larger context, and make a plan to achieve a goal. If the goal is to avoid a collision, the car must calculate the likelihood of a crash based on vehicle behaviors, proximity, speed, and road conditions.
     
  • Act—Either recommend or directly initiate the best course of action. Based on vehicle and traffic analysis, it may brake, accelerate, or prepare safety mechanisms.
     
  • Adapt—Finally, we must be able to adapt algorithms at each phase based on experience, retraining them to be ever more intelligent. Autonomous vehicle algorithms should be re-trained to recognize more blind spots, factor new variables into the context, and adjust actions based on previous incidents.

React Native List View : Animate Rows While Scrolling Using FlatList

In my previous post I have written about how to use React Native FlatList and we have seen the issues we face with pagination also how to add a loading indicator in the footer of FlatList. You can first read about it Link In this post we will see how to animate the rows while scrolling a FlatList.

Animating Rows In React Native FlatList :

To achieve animation for FlatList Rows, you have to install an npm module react-native-animatable, which provides variety of smooth animations for List Rows.

Installation of npm module:

$ npm install react-native-animatable --save

 

To make a continuous animation do this

&lt;Animatable.Text animation="slideInDown" iterationCount={5} direction="alternate"&gt;Up and down you go&lt;/Animatable.Text&gt;
&lt;Animatable.Text animation="pulse" easing="ease-out" iterationCount="infinite" style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}&gt;❤&lt;/Animatable.Text&gt;

 

To animate rows in FlatList Rows do this

import * as Animatable from 'react-native-animatable';

class FlatListRow extends Component {
  render(){
    return(
      &lt;Animatable.View animation='fadeInUp'&gt;;
       &lt;TouchableWithoutFeedback&gt;;
          // here your row component
       &lt;/TouchableWithoutFeedback&gt;;
      &lt;/Animatable.View&gt;;
    );
  }
}


Variety of animations are supported in this React Native Animation library
