We just tried to add listener, you won't believe what happens next

[rusfearuth]

Description

I'd decided to add PermissionListener to ReactActivity#requestPermissions. Android Studio showed me that PermissionListener was missing in com.facebook.react:react-native:+. I dived deep and found that react-native for Android is v0.20.1 and it didn't have a lot of interfaces, classes and etc. How could it be possible? Why is ReactNative 0.41.2 in Github and 0.20.1 in maven?

I'd tried to ignore errors from Android Studio and I added imports and wrote code with using of PermissionListener and It's worked!

Does anybody know what it is?

Reproduction

Just create native module for Android and use PermissionListener.

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.41.2
• Platform: Android
• Operating System: MacOS

Because react-native no longer publishes to maven; but only to npm. Also shame on you for clickbait title

@hey99xx 'cos I haven't found any information about it in docs.

That doesn't make your title any better. Also it is explained in this link http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/integration-with-existing-apps.html

2. Install react-native in your Android application root directory to create node_modules/ directory.

4. Add com.facebook.react:react-native:+ and a maven pointing to the react-native binaries in node_modules/ to your build.gradle file.

You're likely missing these steps. Instead of pointing to public maven, which only has up to 0.20, you need to use your node_modules directory.

@hey99xx hmmm.... But why? Using node_modules looks like a workaround =/ I won't believe that so strong programmers from Facebook wouldn't build and upload JAR to maven )

Okey, it doesn't matter. Thanks for help )
