react-native-create-library command does not create a MainActivity.java

[jerinho]

react-native-create-library command does not created MainActivity.java file. Only ...Module.java and ...Package.java created. And also an empty AndroidManifest.xml

Why?

Hey, did you create the library from master? The version on npm unfortunately is really outdated: #78

[jerinho]

created it directly from command. here some details

• react-native-create-library@3.1.2
• npm : 6.4.1
• react-native-cli : 2.0.1
• react-native: 0.57.5

Try out creating it from master. As said above the npm version is pretty old, unfortunately I don't have the permissions to push a new version.

ok. now i'm understand. we need to create a react-native app first using react-native init before react-native-create-library. they should fix the documentation

how do you know i used npm?. because i'm pretty sure i used yarn

[maicki]

What I meant is if you installed react-native-create-library from the npm registry. yarn uses the npm registry to install packages.

unfortunately this not working either. it asking for gradle-wrappers version of 2.2 and revert build tools version from latest one to the oldest one possible. if i change it back manually the compilation fail saying com.reactlibrary.MyActivity not found

i guess it's from master
npm i -g git+https://github.com/frostney/react-native-create-library.git

i close this issue as it's a misunderstanding. i suggest you to edit the instruction of how to use this repo. i've wrote some steps to follow in issue #89
