# SegmentedControl

A segmented control compatible with @react-native-segmented-control/segmented-control.
Android, iOS, Web, Included in Expo Go

A `SegmentedControl` component with an API compatible with `@react-native-segmented-control/segmented-control`. It uses Jetpack Compose `SingleChoiceSegmentedButtonRow` on Android and SwiftUI `Picker` with segmented style on iOS.

Under the hood this component wraps the platform-specific `@expo/ui` primitives:

-   **Android**: [Jetpack Compose SegmentedButton](/versions/v57.0.0/sdk/ui/jetpack-compose/segmentedbutton.md)
-   **iOS**: [SwiftUI Picker](/versions/v57.0.0/sdk/ui/swift-ui/picker.md) with `pickerStyle('segmented')`

If you need lower-level control (custom modifiers, styles, or layouts), use those primitives directly.

## Installation

```sh
# npm
npx expo install @expo/ui

# yarn
yarn expo install @expo/ui

# pnpm
pnpm expo install @expo/ui

# bun
bun expo install @expo/ui
```

If you are installing this in an [existing React Native app](/bare/overview.md), make sure to [install `expo`](/bare/installing-expo-modules.md) in your project.

## Migrating from `@react-native-segmented-control/segmented-control`

-   Update the import from `import SegmentedControl from '@react-native-segmented-control/segmented-control'` to `import SegmentedControl from '@expo/ui/community/segmented-control'`.
-   Image values in the `values` array are not supported, only strings.
-   `momentary`, `backgroundColor`, `fontStyle`, and `activeFontStyle` props are not supported.
-   `tintColor` only works on Android (sets the active segment container color). On iOS, it has no effect.

## Basic usage

```tsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import SegmentedControl from '@expo/ui/community/segmented-control';

export default function SegmentedControlExample() {
  const [selectedIndex, setSelectedIndex] = useState(0);

  return (
    <SegmentedControl
      values={['One', 'Two', 'Three']}
      selectedIndex={selectedIndex}
      onChange={event => {
        setSelectedIndex(event.nativeEvent.selectedSegmentIndex);
      }}
    />
  );
}
```

## API

```tsx
import SegmentedControl from '@expo/ui/community/segmented-control';
```
