I'm facing one issue on android and react native changes of. The scenario is, in react native I have called api to update state of data and show the following view if data return empty array then hide view. The problem is if I check empty array condition then it works fine on react native pages of react component but using same senario react native component is not visible on android layout. But if I remove condition check then it is working on both android and react native pages.
I have observe this on any react native component is, Whenever we open on any react component the render method is called twice or thrice time. For first time it takes the initial value of state declare in constructor and render on both android and react native pages then we make state update in componentDidMount then again the render method is called but this time updated state component is appering on react native page but not on android layout. I belive that's what happening here it takes initial value and render on native pages but when state got updated then it is not re-rendering in android layout but it is working on react native pages.
So, if you guys have any idea or solution for this please let me know and feel free to ask any question related to this.
