Do not use unless you have a very good reason. All elements that respond to press should have a visual feedback when touched.

TouchableWithoutFeedback supports only one child. If you wish to have several child components, wrap them in a View. Importantly, TouchableWithoutFeedback works by cloning its child and applying responder props to it. It is therefore required that any intermediary components pass through those props to the underlying React Native component.

Usage Pattern

function MyComponent(props) {

return (

<View {...props} style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: '#fff' }}>

<Text>My Component</Text>

</View>

);

}

<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => alert('Pressed!')}>

<MyComponent />

</TouchableWithoutFeedback>;

Example

import React, { useState } from "react"; import { StyleSheet, TouchableWithoutFeedback, Text, View } from "react-native"; export default function TouchableWithoutFeedbackExample() { const [count, setCount] = useState(0); const onPress = () => { setCount(count + 1); }; return ( <View style={styles.container}> <View style={styles.countContainer}> <Text style={styles.countText}>Count: {count}</Text> </View> <TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={onPress}> <View style={styles.button}> <Text>Touch Here</Text> </View> </TouchableWithoutFeedback> </View> ); } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ container: { flex: 1, justifyContent: "center", paddingHorizontal: 10 }, button: { alignItems: "center", backgroundColor: "#DDDDDD", padding: 10 }, countContainer: { alignItems: "center", padding: 10 }, countText: { color: "#FF00FF" } });

Props

accessibilityIgnoresInvertColors

Type	Required

accessible

When true, indicates that the view is an accessibility element. By default, all the touchable elements are accessible.

---

accessibilityHint

An accessibility hint helps users understand what will happen when they perform an action on the accessibility element when that result is not clear from the accessibility label.

Type	Required
string	No

accessibilityRole

accessibilityRole communicates the purpose of a component to the user of an assistive technology.

accessibilityRole can be one of the following:

• 'none' - Used when the element has no role.
• 'button' - Used when the element should be treated as a button.
• 'link' - Used when the element should be treated as a link.

• 'image' - Used when the element should be treated as an image. Can be combined with button or link, for example.
• 'keyboardkey' - Used when the element acts as a keyboard key.
• 'text' - Used when the element should be treated as static text that cannot change.

accessibilityState

Describes the current state of a component to the user of an assistive technology.

See the Accessibility guide for more information.

Type	Required
object: {disabled: bool, selected: bool, checked: bool or 'mixed', busy: bool, expanded: bool}	No

---

accessibilityActions

Accessibility actions allow an assistive technology to programmatically invoke the actions of a component. The accessibilityActions property should contain a list of action objects. Each action object should contain the field name and label.

See the Accessibility guide for more information.

Type	Required
array	No

---

onAccessibilityAction

Invoked when the user performs the accessibility actions. The only argument to this function is an event containing the name of the action to perform.

See the Accessibility guide for more information.

Type	Required
function	No

---

accessibilityValue

Represents the current value of a component. It can be a textual description of a component's value, or for range-based components, such as sliders and progress bars, it contains range information (minimum, current, and maximum).

See the Accessibility guide for more information.

Type	Required
object: {min: number, max: number, now: number, text: string}	No

---

delayLongPress

Delay in ms, from onPressIn, before onLongPress is called.

Type	Required
number	No

---

delayPressIn

Delay in ms, from the start of the touch, before onPressIn is called.

Type	Required
number	No

---

delayPressOut

Delay in ms, from the release of the touch, before onPressOut is called.

Type	Required
number	No

---

disabled

If true, disable all interactions for this component.

Type	Required
bool	No

---

hitSlop

This defines how far your touch can start away from the button. This is added to pressRetentionOffset when moving off of the button. 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.

Type	Required
object: {top: number, left: number, bottom: number, right: number}	No

onBlur

Invoked when the item loses focus.

Type	Required
function	No

---

onFocus

Invoked when the item receives focus.

Type	Required
function	No

---

onLayout

Invoked on mount and layout changes with

{nativeEvent: {layout: {x, y, width, height}}}

Type	Required
function	No

---

onLongPress

Type	Required
function	No

---

onPress

Called when the touch is released, but not if cancelled (e.g. by a scroll that steals the responder lock).

Type	Required
function	No

---

onPressIn

Called as soon as the touchable element is pressed and invoked even before onPress. This can be useful when making network requests.

Type	Required
function	No

---

onPressOut

Called as soon as the touch is released even before onPress.

Type	Required
function	No

---

pressRetentionOffset

When the scroll view is disabled, this defines how far your touch may move off of the button, before deactivating the button. Once deactivated, try moving it back and you'll see that the button is once again reactivated! Move it back and forth several times while the scroll view is disabled. Ensure you pass in a constant to reduce memory allocations.

Type	Required
object: {top: number, left: number, bottom: number, right: number}	No

Used to locate this view in end-to-end tests.
