On Android, it will use Gradle
so all you need to do is to point to the correct project location:
-
In your
${project_dir}/android/settings.gradle
add this:include ':react-native-twitter-signin' project(':react-native-twitter-signin').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir,'../node_modules/react-native-twitter-signin/android')
-
In your
${project_dir}/android/app/build.gradle
add this:depedencies { ... compile project(':react-native-twitter-signin') ... }
-
In you
MainApplication.java
makes use of the package as following:/** * A list of packages used by the app. If the app uses additional views * or modules besides the default ones, add more packages here. */ @Override protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() { return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList( new MainReactPackage(), new FacebookLoginPackage(), new TwitterSigninPackage(), new RNGoogleSigninPackage(this), new VectorIconsPackage(), new RNSvgPackage() ); }
Keeps in mind that all the configure is for your build tools to recognise the files. So open your Xcode and Android Studio to try making builds and make sure they pass.
