React-Native: How to add full screen Lottie animation

Question

I am using linear gradient from lottie, the code is working fine with ios but in android its not fitting to full screen, there is some kind of padding between gradient and the view. On ios its working fine...i tried many ways, buy including padding to 0 and even margin to -20, but nothing worked...any solution?

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Text,
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Platform,
  Dimensions
} from 'react-native';
import SignInScreen from './src/screens/auth/SignInScreen';
import Animation from 'lottie-react-native';

 import anim from './assets/gradient_animated_background.json';
const height = Dimensions.get('window').height + 20;
const width = Dimensions.get('window').width + 20;

export default class App extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.animation.play();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
          <Animation
            ref={animation => {
              this.animation = animation;
            }}
            style={{
              backgroundColor: 'red',
              height: '100%',
              width: '100%'
            }}
            loop={true}
            source={Platform.OS === 'ios' ? anim : 'gradient_animated_background.json'}
          />
       </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    backgroundColor: 'blue',
    flex: 1,
  },
  welcome: {
    fontSize: 20,
    textAlign: 'center',
    margin: 10,
    color: '#ffffff'
  }
});

The animation, and when ever i keep changing the width and height..it forcefully tries to maintain the aspect radio...(not sure though)

Do you mind posting the animation as well? – Diazole

@Diazole updated my question – Dropsonde

Answer 1

What you are missing is the resizeMode, which is not specified on the documentation page, but if you look at the source you'll find it.

Here's something that works if you don't care to lose a few pixels:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

import {
  StyleSheet,
  View,
  Dimensions
} from 'react-native';
import LottieView from 'lottie-react-native';
import { anim } from './assets/animation.json';

const { height, width } = Dimensions.get('window')

export default class App extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.animation.play();
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
          <LottieView
            ref={animation => {
              this.animation = animation;
            }}
            style={{
              width: width + 10,
              height: height,
              marginLeft: - 5
            }}
            resizeMode='cover'
            loop={true}
            source={anim}
          />
       </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    backgroundColor: 'blue',
    flex: 1,
  },
});

Notice that I've exported the asset a bit differently since I tried this on https://snack.expo.io and for some reason they don't like JSON files 😁, so now the assets look something

/assets/animation.json.js

export const anim = {"v":"4.6.10","fr":15,"ip":0,"op":155,"w":1080,"h":1920,"nm":"background","ddd":0,"assets":[],"layers":[{"ddd":0,"ind":1,"ty":4,"nm":"Shape Layer 1","ks":{"o":{"a":0,"k":100},"r":{"a":0,"k":0},"p":{"a":0,"k":[540,960,0]},"a":{"a":0,"k":[0,0,0]},"s":{"a":0,"k":[100,100,100]}},"ao":0,"shapes":[{"ty":"gr","it":[{"ty":"rc","d":1,"s":{"a":0,"k":[1160,880]},"p":{"a":0,"k":[0,0]},"r":{"a":0,"k":0},"nm":"Rectangle Path 1","mn":"ADBE Vector Shape - Rect"},{"ty":"st","c":{"a":0,"k":[0.9960784,0.7843137,0.145098,1]},"o":{"a":0,"k":100},"w":{"a":0,"k":6},"lc":1,"lj":1,"ml":4,"nm":"Stroke 1","mn":"ADBE Vector Graphic - Stroke"},{"ty":"gf","o":{"a":0,"k":100},"r":1,"g":{"p":3,"k":{"a":1,"k":[{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":0,"s":[0,0.511,0.89,0.283,0.5,0.334,0.873,0.583,1,0.156,0.857,0.882],"e":[0,0.726,0.283,0.89,0.5,0.441,0.356,0.886,1,0.156,0.429,0.882]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":31,"s":[0,0.726,0.283,0.89,0.5,0.441,0.356,0.886,1,0.156,0.429,0.882],"e":[0,0.89,0.283,0.283,0.5,0.886,0.553,0.219,1,0.882,0.823,0.156]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":61,"s":[0,0.89,0.283,0.283,0.5,0.886,0.553,0.219,1,0.882,0.823,0.156],"e":[0,0,0.312,0.737,0.5,0.078,0.597,0.754,1,0.156,0.882,0.771]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":91,"s":[0,0,0.312,0.737,0.5,0.078,0.597,0.754,1,0.156,0.882,0.771],"e":[0,0.51,0.89,0.282,0.5,0.333,0.873,0.582,1,0.157,0.855,0.882]},{"t":120}]}},"s":{"a":1,"k":[{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":0,"s":[-430.769,-404.573],"e":[23.726,-364.48],"to":[75.7491683959961,6.68213844299316],"ti":[-123.915840148926,-8.51547145843506]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":31,"s":[23.726,-364.48],"e":[312.726,-353.48],"to":[123.915840148926,8.51547145843506],"ti":[-1.00208830833435,-1.83333337306976]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":61,"s":[312.726,-353.48],"e":[29.739,-353.48],"to":[1.00208830833435,1.83333337306976],"ti":[120.055290222168,0.60746711492538]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":91,"s":[29.739,-353.48],"e":[-407.606,-357.125],"to":[-120.055290222168,-0.60746711492538],"ti":[72.8907089233398,0.60746711492538]},{"t":120}]},"e":{"a":1,"k":[{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":0,"s":[374.412,342.611],"e":[22.822,357.191],"to":[-58.5984153747559,2.42986845970154],"ti":[132.520950317383,-7.89707231521606]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":31,"s":[22.822,357.191],"e":[-420.714,389.994],"to":[-132.520950317383,7.89707231521606],"ti":[-4.68509674072266,-7.89707231521606]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":61,"s":[-420.714,389.994],"e":[50.932,404.573],"to":[4.68509674072266,7.89707231521606],"ti":[-132.918350219727,4.25226974487305]},{"i":{"x":0.833,"y":0.833},"o":{"x":0.167,"y":0.167},"n":"0p833_0p833_0p167_0p167","t":91,"s":[50.932,404.573],"e":[376.797,364.48],"to":[132.918350219727,-4.25226974487305],"ti":[-54.3107261657715,6.68213844299316]},{"t":120}]},"t":1,"nm":"Gradient Fill 1","mn":"ADBE Vector Graphic - G-Fill"},{"ty":"tr","p":{"a":0,"k":[0,0],"ix":2},"a":{"a":0,"k":[0,0],"ix":1},"s":{"a":0,"k":[93.29,219.491],"ix":3},"r":{"a":0,"k":0,"ix":6},"o":{"a":0,"k":100,"ix":7},"sk":{"a":0,"k":0,"ix":4},"sa":{"a":0,"k":0,"ix":5},"nm":"Transform"}],"nm":"Rectangle 1","np":3,"cix":2,"ix":1,"mn":"ADBE Vector Group"}],"ip":0,"op":155,"st":0,"bm":0,"sr":1},{"ddd":0,"ind":2,"ty":1,"nm":"Deep Red Solid 1","ks":{"o":{"a":0,"k":100},"r":{"a":0,"k":0},"p":{"a":0,"k":[540,960,0]},"a":{"a":0,"k":[540,960,0]},"s":{"a":0,"k":[100,100,100]}},"ao":0,"sw":1080,"sh":1920,"sc":"#be2a2a","ip":0,"op":155,"st":0,"bm":0,"sr":1}]}

i am getting blue screen by copying your code...maybe this is has some different behaviour when using expo and cli...in your case you are using expo – Dropsonde

Have you created the /assets/animation.json.js file pasted the code as I put at the end of my answer? Also tested on android device, and I had the problem you mentioned – Diazole

Here is a working example, maybe you want to play a bit with the margins, I've noticed some weird border. snack.expo.io/@ovidb/lottie-fullscreen – Diazole

ResizeMode works to me, which is not specified on the documentation page – Whorton

Answer 2

So the first answer raised an important point (adding resizeMode="cover").

But that's not enough, If you test across several screens sizes, you might still find unwanted margins and spaces. I had this issue too,

Here's the simple solution:

1. Get the dimensions of the lottie file (e.g 300 X 600)
2. Set width only, then use aspectRatio to determine the height. (must)
3. Set flexGrow = 1 (must)

e.g

<LottieView 
  style={{
      width: 300, 
      aspectRatio: 300 / 600,
      flexGrow: 1, 
      alignSelf: 'center',
    }} 
  resizeMode="cover" 
  ref={animation=> { this.animation = animation; }} 
  source={require ('./assets/animation.json')} 
  autoPlay={false} 
  loop={false} 
 />

I guess the problem arises because you cant use width and height at the same time in the styling of the Lottie view.

So an easy workaround is to use the width and aspectRatio

Good luck!

This should be the accepted answer! – Perique

Answer 3

Yes you have to use resizeMode="cover" according to first answer.

After that you have to use screen dimensions with flexgrow: 1 property.

I tried through aspect-ratio but its not a solution for all the devices. I am sharing the example below like how you can make your lottie animation for every screen.

Example Code

    import React, { FC, useEffect, useState } from "react";
    import { View } from "react-native";
    import { Dimensions, StyleSheet } from "react-native";
    import AnimatedLottieView from "lottie-react-native";
    
    const { width, height } = Dimensions.get('window');
    
    const SplashScreen: FC = ({ navigation }: any) => {

    return (
    
    <View style={styles.lottieAnimationContainer}>
           
            <AnimatedLottieView 
            source={Animation.myy_loader} 
            style={styles.lottieAnimation} 
            autoPlay 
            loop={false} 
            resizeMode='cover'
            onAnimationFinish={async() => {
              setLottie(false);
          }} 
          />
    </View>
    )
    }

    const styles = StyleSheet.create({
    lottieAnimationContainer: {
    ...StyleSheet.absoluteFillObject,
    backgroundColor: 'transparent', // Transparent background
    zIndex: 1, // Ensure it's on top
    pointerEvents: 'none',
    },
    lottieAnimation: {
    flexGrow: 1,
    width: width, // Adjust width and height as needed
    height: height,
    },
    })

I hope this will be helpful for you.
