Search Bar looks broken when used along with a custom header title in Android

[ha3]

Description

In Android, when search bar is enabled along with a custom header title, they are rendered on top of each other. The problem persists after search bar is focused. It works correctly if a string is provided for the headerTitle.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add search bar and a custom title to a screen
2. Navigate to that screen
3. See search bar looks broken

@kkafar hi. I created this patch, but not sure this is the correct approach–I'm quite inexperienced on the native side.

This solves the title and search bar being rendered on top of each other. But, in a real device, the search icon ends up aligned incorrectly to the left, if the search bar is blurred. On the emulator, everything works as expected.

Exact problem i am facing, same with the headerRight icons, i cant seem to find a solid way, atm i got:

  const navigation = useNavigation<TasksScreenNavigationProp<'index'>>();
  const [search, setSearch] = React.useState('');
  const [isSearching, setIsSearching] = React.useState(false);
  const taskCount = 8381;
  const searchBarRef = useRef<SearchBarCommands>(null);
  useLayoutEffect(() => {
    navigation.setOptions({
      headerSearchBarOptions: {
        autoCapitalize: 'none',
        cancelButtonText: 'Annuleer',
        placeholder: 'Zoeken',
        shouldShowHintSearchIcon: false,
        textColor: colors.white,
        hintTextColor: colors.primary['300'],
        tintColor: colors.white,
        headerIconColor: colors.white,
        onChangeText: event => setSearch(event.nativeEvent.text),
        ref: searchBarRef,
        onOpen: async () => {
          setIsSearching(true);
        },
        onClose: async () => {
          console.log('close');
          setIsSearching(false);
        },
      },
      headerTitle: props =>
        !isSearching ? (
          <HeaderTitle
            style={{
              marginLeft: Platform.OS === 'android' ? -20 : 0,
            }}
            {...props}>{`${taskCount} openstaande taken`}</HeaderTitle>
        ) : null,
      headerRight: () =>
        !isSearching ? (
          <View
            className={'h-full flex-row'}
            style={{
              gap: 10,
            }}>
            <Pressable hitSlop={7} className={'active:opacity-50'}>
              <FontAwesomeIcon
                color={'#fff'}
                icon={['far', 'ellipsis-vertical']}
                size={20}
              />
            </Pressable>
            <Pressable hitSlop={7} className={'active:opacity-50'}>
              <FontAwesomeIcon

                icon={['far', 'filter']}
                size={20}
              />
            </Pressable>
          </View>
        ) : null,
    });
  }, [isSearching, navigation]);

But this is causing a small flicker on open

@tboba thanks for the #1903 which also addresses this issue. Changing the visibility of header elements, Instead of pushing them to the side, was my approach to the problem too. Unfortunately, with 3.27.0 I encountered the same problem that I had–the search icon is misaligned after the blur on certain Android devices, i.e. Xiaomi and Huawei.

On these devices, the search icon is pushed significantly to the left after the blur whether a custom header element is used or not. Here are some screenshots of the problem. It is tested on Xiaomi Redmi:

No custom element - Before focus:

No custom element - After blur:

Custom header left - Before focus:

Custom header left - After blur:

Hi, I've tested it with the latest version and could not reproduce the issue. I'll try again using Xiaomi/Huawei device in upcoming days. In the meantime, can anyone confirm that the problem still persists?

[ha3]

@alduzy can confirm that the issue still persists with 3.32.0 on a Huawei device.

[alduzy]

@ha3 Could you provide a new reproduction snack? I've just tried the last provided snack on Huawei, Redmi and Xiaomi device and wasn't able to reproduce the issue. Also, there's a @react-navigation dependency version mismatch and the options for the screen are set using screenOptions instead of options. Please ensure that the dependencies versions specified in the snack are correct.
