About this.state function in React Native App

Hello this is my code. When I try to fill the text box then the error come i.e. ('this.setState is not a function.(In this.setState({emal:email)} this.setState is underfined').

Here is my code:

import React from 'react'; import { Image, Platform, ScrollView, StyleSheet, Text, TouchableOpacity, View, TextInput, TouchableHighlight, Alert,

} from 'react-native';

export default function LoginScreen() {

  onClickListener = (viewId) => {
    Alert.alert("Alert", "You can't "+viewId);
  }

return ( https://png.icons8.com/message/ultraviolet/50/3498db'}}/> this.setState({email})}/> 

  <View style={styles.inputContainer}>
    <Image style={styles.inputIcon} source={{uri: 'https://png.icons8.com/key-2/ultraviolet/50/3498db'}}/>
    <TextInput style={styles.inputs}
        placeholder="Password"
        secureTextEntry={true}
        underlineColorAndroid='transparent'
        onChangeText={(password) => this.setState({password})}/>
  </View>

  <TouchableHighlight style={[styles.buttonContainer, styles.loginButton]} onPress={() => this.onClickListener('login')}>
    <Text style={styles.loginText}>Login</Text>
  </TouchableHighlight>

  <TouchableHighlight style={styles.buttonContainer} onPress={() => this.onClickListener('restore_password')}>
      <Text>Forgot your password?</Text>
  </TouchableHighlight>

  <TouchableHighlight style={styles.buttonContainer} onPress={() => this.onClickListener('register')}>
      <Text>Register</Text>
  </TouchableHighlight>
</View>

); }

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
  flex: 1,
  justifyContent: 'center',
  alignItems: 'center',
  backgroundColor: '#DCDCDC',
},
inputContainer: {
    borderBottomColor: '#F5FCFF',

if you want to use functional components use react hooks, otherwise use class component as below.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Image, StyleSheet, Text, View, TextInput, TouchableHighlight, Alert } from 'react-native';

export default class LoginScreen extends Component {

  onClickListener = viewId => {
    Alert.alert('Alert', "You can't " + viewId);
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <View style={styles.inputContainer}>
          <Image
            style={styles.inputIcon}
            source={{uri: 'https://png.icons8.com/key-2/ultraviolet/50/3498db'}}
          />
          <TextInput
            style={styles.inputs}
            placeholder="Password"
            secureTextEntry={true}
            underlineColorAndroid="transparent"
            onChangeText={password => this.setState({password})}
          />
        </View>

        <TouchableHighlight
          style={[styles.buttonContainer, styles.loginButton]}
          onPress={() => this.onClickListener('login')}>
          <Text style={styles.loginText}>Login</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>

        <TouchableHighlight
          style={styles.buttonContainer}
          onPress={() => this.onClickListener('restore_password')}>
          <Text>Forgot your password?</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>

        <TouchableHighlight
          style={styles.buttonContainer}
          onPress={() => this.onClickListener('register')}>
          <Text>Register</Text>
        </TouchableHighlight>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#DCDCDC',
  },
  inputContainer: {
    borderBottomColor: '#F5FCFF',
    backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
    borderRadius: 30,
    borderBottomWidth: 1,
    width: 250,
    height: 45,
    marginBottom: 20,
    flexDirection: 'row',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
  inputs: {
    height: 45,
    marginLeft: 16,
    borderBottomColor: '#FFFFFF',
    flex: 1,
  },
  inputIcon: {
    width: 30,
    height: 30,
    marginLeft: 15,
    justifyContent: 'center',
  },
  buttonContainer: {
    height: 45,
    flexDirection: 'row',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    marginBottom: 20,
    width: 250,
    borderRadius: 30,
  },
  loginButton: {
    backgroundColor: '#00b5ec',
  },
  loginText: {
    color: 'white',
  },
});

if you want to use functional components you can use the UseState hook like this by importing and initializing the state as shown below:

 import React,{useState} from 'react'; 
    export default function LoginScreen() {
    const [email,setEmail]=useState(initialValues);
    //setEmail function can be used for changing the state
    }

use can see the usage of the useState here [https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-state.html]

hope this helps for you

In react-native setState function has syntax

this.setState({someField:someValue})

you are using wrong syntax there, you have to give state name and value 

this.setState({email})
this.setState({password})

these line should be like -

this.setState({ email: value })
this.setState({password: value })

For using state, it must a stateful component rather than stateless component, So you have to change your functional component into Class.

change

export default function LoginScreen()

to

export default class LoginScreen extends React.Component

That is the problem

export default function LoginScreen()

Change it to the 

export default class LoginScreen extends Component
