## React Native - Touchables
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some of the main features of mobile devices revolve around user touch interactions. How a mobile app handles and responds to these interactions can make or break the user's experience.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
React Native ships with a `Button` component which works for many standard `onPress` interactions. By default, it will give the user feedback by changing the opacity to show the button was pressed. Usage:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
<Button onPress={handlePress} title="Submit" />
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For more complex use cases, React Native has APIs build in to handle press interactions called `Touchables`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
TouchableHighlight
 | 
						|
TouchableNativeFeedback
 | 
						|
TouchableOpacity
 | 
						|
TouchableWithoutFeedback
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Each of these Touchable components can be styled and used with a library, like the built-in `Animated`, allowing you to make your own types of custom user feedback.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some examples of using these components:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
// with images
 | 
						|
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this.handlePress}>
 | 
						|
  <Image
 | 
						|
    style={styles.button}
 | 
						|
    source={require('./logo.png')}
 | 
						|
  />
 | 
						|
</TouchableHighlight>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// with text
 | 
						|
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this.handlePress}>
 | 
						|
  <Text>Hello</Text>
 | 
						|
</TouchableHighlight>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can handle different types of button presses as well. By default, buttons and touchables are configured to handle regular taps, but you can also denote a function to call for press and hold interactions for example.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
<TouchableHighlight onPress={this.handlePress} onLongPress={this.handleLongPress}>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To see all of the available props and how these components work, you can look at [the JavaScript source code for Touchables here](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tree/master/Libraries/Components/Touchable).
