In some cases, we also want to alert the end user of the type of selected component (i.e., that it is a “button”). If we were using native buttons, this would work automatically. Since we are using javascript, we need to provide a bit more context for TalkBack. To do so, you must specify the ‘accessibilityComponentType’ property for any UI component. For instances, we support ‘button’, ‘radiobutton_checked’ and ‘radiobutton_unchecked’ and so on.
A Boolean value indicating whether the accessibility elements contained within this accessibility element are hidden to the screen reader.
Overrides the text that's read by the screen reader when the user interacts with the element. By default, the label is constructed by traversing all the children and accumulating all the Text nodes separated by space.
Indicates to accessibility services whether the user should be notified when this view changes. Works for Android API >= 19 only. See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:accessibilityLiveRegion for references.
Accessibility traits tell a person using VoiceOver what kind of element they have selected. Is this element a label? A button? A header? These questions are answered by accessibilityTraits.
A Boolean value indicating whether VoiceOver should ignore the elements within views that are siblings of the receiver.
When true, indicates that the view is an accessibility element. By default, all the touchable elements are accessible.
The opacity of the element when the touch is active
The length of time the active opacity fade should delay before occuring
The length of time the active opacity takes to fade
How the fade should tween
Should we perform an animation on the opacity
Views that are only used to layout their children or otherwise don't draw anything may be automatically removed from the native hierarchy as an optimization. Set this property to false to disable this optimization and ensure that this View exists in the native view hierarchy.
The duration in milliseconds to wait from the time a touch is initiated before firing the onLongPress handler.
If the touch ends before this duration is reached, the touch will be treated as a tap.
Optional, and when not defined, default to defaultLongPressDelay = 500
Sets the elevation of a view, using Android's underlying elevation API. This adds a drop shadow to the item and affects z-order for overlapping views. Only supported on Android 5.0+, has no effect on earlier versions.
This defines how far a touch event can start away from the view. Typical interface guidelines recommend touch targets that are at least 30 - 40 points/density-independent pixels. If a Touchable view has a height of 20 the touchable height can be extended to 40 with hitSlop={{top: 10, bottom: 10, left: 0, right: 0}} NOTE The touch area never extends past the parent view bounds and the Z-index of sibling views always takes precedence if a touch hits two overlapping views.
Controls how view is important for accessibility which is if it fires accessibility events and if it is reported to accessibility services that query the screen. Works for Android only. See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html#importantForAccessibility for references.
Possible values: 'auto' - The system determines whether the view is important for accessibility - default (recommended). 'yes' - The view is important for accessibility. 'no' - The view is not important for accessibility. 'no-hide-descendants' - The view is not important for accessibility, nor are any of its descendant views.
Whether this view needs to rendered offscreen and composited with an alpha in order to preserve 100% correct colors and blending behavior. The default (false) falls back to drawing the component and its children with an alpha applied to the paint used to draw each element instead of rendering the full component offscreen and compositing it back with an alpha value. This default may be noticeable and undesired in the case where the View you are setting an opacity on has multiple overlapping elements (e.g. multiple overlapping Views, or text and a background).
Rendering offscreen to preserve correct alpha behavior is extremely expensive and hard to debug for non-native developers, which is why it is not turned on by default. If you do need to enable this property for an animation, consider combining it with renderToHardwareTextureAndroid if the view contents are static (i.e. it doesn't need to be redrawn each frame). If that property is enabled, this View will be rendered off-screen once, saved in a hardware texture, and then composited onto the screen with an alpha each frame without having to switch rendering targets on the GPU.
When accessible is true, the system will try to invoke this function when the user performs accessibility tap gesture.
When accessible is true, the system will try to invoke this function
when the user performs an accessibility custom action.
Invoked on mount and layout changes with
{nativeEvent: { layout: {x, y, width, height}}}.
When accessible is true, the system will invoke this function when the user performs the magic tap gesture.
Called for every touch move on the View when it is not the responder: does this view want to "claim" touch responsiveness?
onStartShouldSetResponder and onMoveShouldSetResponder are called with a bubbling pattern, where the deepest node is called first. That means that the deepest component will become responder when multiple Views return true for *ShouldSetResponder handlers. This is desirable in most cases, because it makes sure all controls and buttons are usable.
However, sometimes a parent will want to make sure that it becomes responder. This can be handled by using the capture phase. Before the responder system bubbles up from the deepest component, it will do a capture phase, firing on*ShouldSetResponderCapture. So if a parent View wants to prevent the child from becoming responder on a touch start, it should have a onStartShouldSetResponderCapture handler which returns true.
If the View returns true and attempts to become the responder, one of the following will happen:
The View is now responding for touch events. This is the time to highlight and show the user what is happening
The user is moving their finger
Something else is the responder right now and will not release it
Fired at the end of the touch, ie "touchUp"
The responder has been taken from the View. Might be taken by other views after a call to onResponderTerminationRequest, or might be taken by the OS without asking (happens with control center/ notification center on iOS)
Something else wants to become responder. Should this view release the responder? Returning true allows release
Does this view want to become responder on the start of a touch?

In the absence of auto property, none is much like CSS's none value. box-none is as if you had applied the CSS class:
.box-none { pointer-events: none; } .box-none * { pointer-events: all; }
box-only is the equivalent of
.box-only { pointer-events: all; } .box-only * { pointer-events: none; }
But since pointerEvents does not affect layout/appearance, and we are already deviating from the spec by adding additional modes, we opt to not include pointerEvents on style. On some platforms, we would need to implement it as a className anyways. Using style or not is an implementation detail of the platform.
The radius of the touch hitbox
This is a special performance property exposed by RCTView and is useful for scrolling content when there are many subviews, most of which are offscreen. For this property to be effective, it must be applied to a view that contains many subviews that extend outside its bound. The subviews must also have overflow: hidden, as should the containing view (or one of its superviews).
Whether this view should render itself (and all of its children) into a single hardware texture on the GPU.
On Android, this is useful for animations and interactions that only modify opacity, rotation, translation, and/or scale: in those cases, the view doesn't have to be redrawn and display lists don't need to be re-executed. The texture can just be re-used and re-composited with different parameters. The downside is that this can use up limited video memory, so this prop should be set back to false at the end of the interaction/animation.
Whether this view should be rendered as a bitmap before compositing.
On iOS, this is useful for animations and interactions that do not modify this component's dimensions nor its children; for example, when translating the position of a static view, rasterization allows the renderer to reuse a cached bitmap of a static view and quickly composite it during each frame.
Rasterization incurs an off-screen drawing pass and the bitmap consumes memory. Test and measure when using this property.
Used to locate this view in end-to-end tests.
