react-native-screen-brightness's Issues

Setbrightness null

I am use version 1.0.1 and RN 0.58.6, _tlreactnativeScreenBrightness.default.setBrigthness always null

Hello, your code is finished?Do you can update installation document?I'm chinese

Is there any update for the React Native 0.60 AutoLinking?

Have an example here Control Device Brightness from React Native App using this library but it's completely not running after the update of React Native. I have done the custom changed in the Android files also but everything is worthless now. Is there any maintainer of this library?

NPM Build failing on IOS and Android

Could you please public 0.2.0 to NPM? This way people wont have to do all of these manual fixes themselves.

Just for reference: #12 does fix the build issues on IOS.

If you need any more info from me let me know.

Does it support iOS?

Does it works on iOS?

Please make the androidx.core version able to set from a variable.

Hello!

Would it be possible to make the androidx.core a variable that can be set similar to how it works in react-native-netinfo repo? If you follow the thread, the issue is very similar.

react-native-netinfo/react-native-netinfo#491 (comment)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckAarMetadataWorkAction
   > The minCompileSdk (31) specified in a
     dependency's AAR metadata (META-INF/com/android/build/gradle/aar-metadata.properties)
     is greater than this module's compileSdkVersion (android-30).
     Dependency: androidx.core:core:1.7.0-alpha02.

We specifically run into this problem while trying to build for SDKVersion 30, which seems incompatiable with the latest androidx.core.

Not supporting RN 0.29

Hi,
it seems not supporting on RN 0.29.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

AndroidX Support?

Looks like i'm being forced to upgrade to the AndroidX support library. This means I have to modify the imports to get it to compile. Is there an NPM version that can be used with AndroidX?

Add license to readme / LICENSE file

Just a quick suggestion — I came across this and it took me a while to confirm that it was actually MIT-licensed (per package.json)

Android: setBrightness not working

Since migrating to 0.2.0 setBrightness is not working for me anymore, setAppBrightness does work. Probably related to issues with requesting the permission? I am using RN 0.31.0

pls update module for RN-0.40 it crash app

Does this package need linking?

I'm confused. Why don't the docs say this anywhere. Very poor documentation.

I tried to link this package and it crashed, tried to do it manually but it fails at the build:

Return brightness to auto

Hi.
Is it possible to unset the set value and have the brightness back on auto mode?

Thank you

Different BRIGHTNESS_MAX

I am using this library on a MIMAX 3 and the BRIGHTNESS_MAX is 4095. The library has a hardcoded value of 255 which prevents me from setting the screen brightness to the max.

I think the value BRIGHTNESS_MAX should be based on the device instead of a hardcoded value.

How can I modify it?

Any new update version or more setup to work with this library? I integrated as Readme but it always get error: undefined ScreenBrightness.

Trying to use this, can't get it to install and work

Hi -- I'd like to contribute to the installation guide.

I tried just adding the javascript code, and it didn't work, failing in the debugger with:

Cannot read property 'setBrightness' of undefined

So I'm guessing what to do here :-) based on various other react-native plugins.

So I've changed android/app/build.gradle to have:

--- a/android/app/build.gradle
+++ b/android/app/build.gradle

 }

Added:

Added to android/settings.gradle:

include ':react-native-screen-brightness'
project(':react-native-screen-brightness').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../node_modules/react-native-screen-brightness/android')

Finally, my index.android.js file has:

import { NativeModules } from "react-native";
const { SystemBrightness } = NativeModules;
//...
SystemBrightness.setBrightness(0.75);

This all compiles fine, but I still get the Cannot read property 'setBrightness' of undefined error.

Any help much appreciated!
