To run application: On command line, navigate to the firstReactApplication folder. ex: cd ../ReactApplication/firstReactApplication Run command: npm install. Open emulator. Run command: react-native run-android

I have made a simple react application, which has 2 views. The user is able to navigate from the first view to the second view using a button on the screen. The user can go back to the first view using the back button on the upper left of the screen.

The coding aspect of the application wasn't too difficult and there were many tutorials that showed how to use react navigation. After I got the project running, I created a stack navigator for the project and added two screens a home screen and second page and added them to the stack. After the two screens were created, I added a button that would link to the second page to the home page. I then changed the styling on the pages to make it look nicer.

I found the hardest and the most time consuming part of this project was setting up the application and configuring it. I had to install many different applications and programs and I also had to learn how to use the react CLI. There were many little issues with dependencies I had to figure out to actual get my project running on the simulator. How I solved this problem was being very careful about following the recommended installation steps. Through this assignment, I learned how to program a simple application using react native and got familiar with the tools I would need to program a react native application. I also learned how to navigate between 2 screens using this language and how to apply simple styling. Finally, I revised my knowledge about git and GitHub.
