React Native - Why Padding Does Not Work

react-native buttons padding/margin top don't work

The styles prop is not available on the <Button /> component. You should consider wrapping the buttons in a div like so:

   <View style={{ flexDirection: 'row', marginTop: 100 }}>
        <View style={{ marginHorizontal: 25 }}>
          <Button title="Login" onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Details')}>
            <Text style={styles.loginText}>LOG IN</Text>
          </Button>
        </View>
        <View style={{ marginHorizontal: 25 }}>
          <Button
            title="Register"
            onPress={() => navigation.navigate('Details')}>
            <Text style={styles.loginText2}>Register</Text>
          </Button>
        </View>
      </View>

React Native - Margin or Padding Not Working on Android Emulator

As I can understand you are using react-native-elements, and style prop is not vailable on that component, I can see on the documentation try using this prop "buttonStyle" to style the button and if not possible wrap the button around a view,

Thanks

Styling props not working, especially padding

Why not add a margin of 10%? I always have problems with paddings. Try to avoid them.
Edit: Maybe it would help to just add a margin, instead of changing the width to 90%?

import React from "react";
import { ImageBackground, StyleSheet, Text, View } from "react-native";

const image = { uri: "https://reactjs.org/logo-og.png" };

const App = () => (
  <View style={styles.container}>
    <ImageBackground source={image} style={styles.image}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>Inside</Text>
    </ImageBackground>
  </View>
);

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    flexDirection: "column",
    justifyContent: "center"
  },
  image: {
    flex: 1,
    resizeMode: "cover",
    justifyContent: "center",
    margin: "10%"  
  },
  text: {
    color: "white",
    fontSize: 42,
    fontWeight: "bold",
    textAlign: "center",
    backgroundColor: "#000000a0"
  }
});

export default App;

margin and padding are not showing any effect when Text is so lengthy

Put each Text component inside its own View component. The either give the View a padding or give the Text a margin.

React Native TextInput padding is not working while display is set

Can you try conditional rendering instead?

{display !== "none" && (
  <TextInput
    style={CommonStyles.textInput}
    keyboardType="phone-pad"
    placeholder="Code"
  />
)}

Then in your CommonStyles.textInput, you can add display: 'flex'.

What’s the difference between margin and padding in CSS?

In CSS, a margin is a space around an element’s border, while the padding is the space between an element’s border and the element’s content.

MarginBottom works but PaddingBottom doesnt works on React Native?

This is how margin is supposed to behave. It is used to define the space between different elements on a webpage or in this case a screen. If you observe the below diagram you can see padding is used inside the element whereas margin is outside the element and can be used to space elements apart
