Question 1

How do I change the color of a progress bar in react-native-progress?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'color' prop to set the fill color, and 'unfilledColor' for the remaining area, as specified in the properties table. For example, <Progress.Bar color='red' unfilledColor='gray' /> applies custom colors.

Question 2

react-native-progress vs react-native-progress-bar: which is better?

Accepted Answer

react-native-progress offers more variety with Bar, Circle, Pie, and CircleSnail components, while react-native-progress-bar might be simpler but less flexible. Choose based on your need for multiple indicator types and customization options.

Question 3

How to install react-native-progress with SVG support?

Accepted Answer

First install react-native-progress via npm, then separately install react-native-svg for Pie and Circle components. Follow the README's installation notes to ensure compatibility.

Question 4

Can I use react-native-progress for indeterminate loading?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set the 'indeterminate' prop to true on components like Progress.Circle or Progress.Bar, and customize animation duration with 'indeterminateAnimationDuration' for smooth spinning effects.

Question 5

Is react-native-progress compatible with Expo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but for SVG-based components (Pie and Circle), you need to ensure React Native SVG is properly linked or configured in Expo, which may require additional setup steps.

Question 6

How to animate progress changes smoothly?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'animated' prop (default true) and configure 'animationType' (e.g., spring) and 'animationConfig' on Progress.Bar, as shown in the README's property tables for smooth transitions.
