onLayout is not triggered when Animated.event applied on iOS

[osdnk]

🐛 Bug Report

Behavior on Adnroid is expected one.

To Reproduce

Apply valued to transform and bind with Animated.event set to onLayout prop in Animated.View.

Expected Behavior

iOS should look like Android here. The value should hold a result of Animated.event's invocation.

Code Example

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, View, Animated as NativeAnimated } from 'react-native';


export default class Example extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.val2 = new NativeAnimated.Value(0);
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <NativeAnimated.View
          onLayout={NativeAnimated.event([
            {
              nativeEvent: {
                layout: {
                  height: this.val2
                }
              }
            }
          ], {
            useNativeDriver: true
          })}
          style={[
            styles.box,
            {
              backgroundColor: 'green',
              transform: [
                {
                  translateY: this.val2
                }
              ]
            }
          ]}
        />
        <NativeAnimated.View
          style={[
            styles.box,
            {
              backgroundColor: 'blue',
            }
          ]}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const CIRCLE_SIZE = 70;

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',

  },
  box: {
    position: 'absolute',
    backgroundColor: 'tomato',
    marginLeft: -(CIRCLE_SIZE / 2),
    marginTop: -(CIRCLE_SIZE / 2),
    width: CIRCLE_SIZE,
    height: CIRCLE_SIZE,
    borderRadius: CIRCLE_SIZE / 2,
    borderColor: '#000',
  },
});

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.59 and verify if the issue still exists.

The "Resolution: Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running `react-native info` on a project using the latest release.

Also, tried to make onLayout as an event:

@interface RCTOnLayoutEvent : NSObject <RCTEvent>

- (instancetype)initWithReactTag:(NSNumber *)reactTag
                                         content:(NSDictionary *)content;

@end

@implementation RCTOnLayoutEvent
{
  NSDictionary *_content;
}

@synthesize viewTag = _viewTag;
@synthesize coalescingKey = _coalescingKey;


- (instancetype)initWithReactTag:(NSNumber *)reactTag
                         content:(NSDictionary *)content
{
  static uint16_t coalescingKey = 0;
  if ((self = [super init])) {
    _coalescingKey = coalescingKey++;
    _viewTag = reactTag;
    _content = content;
  }
  return self;
}

RCT_NOT_IMPLEMENTED(- (instancetype)init)

- (uint16_t)coalescingKey
{
  return _coalescingKey;
}

- (NSString *)eventName
{
  return @"onLayout";
}


- (BOOL)canCoalesce
{
  return NO;
}

+ (NSString *)moduleDotMethod
{
  return @"RCTEventEmitter.receiveEvent";
}

- (NSArray *)arguments
{
  return @[self.viewTag, @"topLayout", _content];
}

- (id<RCTEvent>)coalesceWithEvent:(id<RCTEvent>)newEvent {
  return newEvent;
}

@end

  NSDictionary *content = @{
                                @"layout": @{
                                    @"x": @(frame.origin.x),
                                    @"y": @(frame.origin.y),
                                    @"width": @(frame.size.width),
                                    @"height": @(frame.size.height),
                                    },
                                };
  //  shadowView.onLayout(content);
      RCTOnLayoutEvent *layoutEvent = [[RCTOnLayoutEvent alloc] initWithReactTag:reactTag
                                                                         content:content];

And it worked but events are being attached after mounting so this event is dispatching after filling a map with proper values in Native Animated Module.

[janicduplessis]

Sorry I missed this, events defined with RCT{Direct|Bubbling}EventBlock currently do not work with native animated. I made some PRs to fix it a while back but it ended up not getting merged until recently :(

Event improvement PR (prereq, merged): #15894
Actual fix (needs rebase): #15611

It should still work but just needs to be rebased on top of #15894

[shuangyu]

similar issue here(waste my whole day :( ):
rn version : 0.59.9

[zeh]

In the meantime, has anyone been able to work around this issue? It seems there's no way to re-read the layout at all, and in my current implementation moving from an Animated.View to a View just breaks the layout entirely (because it depends on some animations).

[trickeyd]

Yeah - same here - this has taken up my whole day now. Thought it was going to be a 5 min bug when i first saw it.

This happened after upgrade from 0.57 - 0.59.10

Annoyingly any fix now will be added to > .6 versions and thats not an option for me right now, so need ti figure out a work around.

[yairopro]

Any news about this issue ?
I've got the bug on Android too (see snack here).

Hey there, it looks like there has been no activity on this issue recently. Has the issue been fixed, or does it still require the community's attention? This issue may be closed if no further activity occurs. You may also label this issue as a "Discussion" or add it to the "Backlog" and I will leave it open. Thank you for your contributions.

[janicduplessis]

@yairopro Seems like a bug with react-native-reanimated, I changed your example to use Animated and it seems so work fine on Android.

[janicduplessis]

@osdnk Also works in Expo now so I assume my fix made it to a release, if you want to close this (Looks like I don't have the power to close issues anymore :()

[kelset]

(that's super weird! lmk if you want to close it)

[janicduplessis]

@kelset yes please!
