#Visual Elements & Typography (Android)

Static or decorative elements used to display content on Android widgets. See Styling for details on supported style properties.

#Text

Displays text content.

Parameters:

• maxLines (number, optional): Maximum number of lines to display.
• renderAsBitmap (boolean, optional): Renders text as a bitmap image to enable custom fonts. Requires fontFamily in the style prop.

#Image

Parameters:

• source (object, optional): Image source object.
  • assetName (string): Reference to a pre-bundled image (drawable resource) or a preloaded image.
  • base64 (string): Base64 encoded image data.
• resizeMode (string, optional): "cover", "contain", "stretch", "repeat", or "center".
• contentDescription (string, optional): Accessibility description for the image.
• contentScale (string, optional): Glance-specific scaling mode: "crop", "cover", "fit", "contain", "fill-bounds", or "stretch".
• alpha (number, optional): Opacity value from 0.0 to 1.0.
• colorFilter (string, optional): Color tint filter for the image.
• tintColor (string, optional): Legacy alias for colorFilter.
• fallback (ReactNode, optional): Custom content rendered when the image is missing.

Styling the fallback:

To add a background color when an image is missing, use backgroundColor in the style prop:

<Image
  source={{ assetName: 'photo' }}
  style={{ backgroundColor: '#E0E0E0', borderRadius: 12 }}
/>
