Manual installation

Android

1. Open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainApplication.java

• Add import com.diegofhg.obscure.ObscurePackage; to the imports at the top of the file
• Add new ObscurePackage() to the list returned by the getPackages() method

2. Append the following lines to android/settings.gradle:

   include ':react-native-obscure'
   project(':react-native-obscure').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, 	'../node_modules/react-native-obscure/android')
   

3. Insert the following lines inside the dependencies block in android/app/build.gradle:

Usage

You can use it programmatically for activating/deactivating the obscuring at any time, use it app-wide or per component.

activateObscure: Activates the obscuring.

deactivateObscure: Deactivate the obscuring.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';

import Obscure from 'react-native-obscure';

export default class App extends Component {
  componentWillMount() {
    Obscure.activateObscure();
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    Obscure.deactivateObscure();
  }

  render() {
    return(
      <View>
        <Text>This text will be obscured when changing apps</Text>
      </View>
    );
  }
}
