Description

Move PR of RFC-1823 task A6 (Android Tabs). The tabs now live in com.swmansion.rnscreens.core.containers.tabs.* and com.swmansion.rnscreens.react.containers.tabs.*. The decoupling it depends on is #4920, #4921, #4944 and #4945, and the layer check now covers the tabs' core part.

Rename-only: besides moves, the diff changes package / import lines and one fully qualified KDoc reference, nothing else.

Closes https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-screens-labs/issues/1906.

Targets main: #4945, which it was stacked on, merged on 2026-10-21.

Public API note: TabsContainer documents a "Public API (third-party stable)" region, and its fully qualified name changes here, to com.swmansion.rnscreens.core.containers.tabs.container.TabsContainer. So do the names of TabsNavigationState, TabsNavigationStateObserver and the other public tabs types. Native code outside this repo that imports them has to update its imports.

Changes

• core.containers.tabs.* (19 files), in appearance, container and item (review: item is the core name for what React calls a screen, and a host is a React concept): container holds TabsContainer and its navigation state and observers, TabsBottomNavigationView, TabsMenuItemState and TabsHostA11yCoordinator (next to its only user); appearance the applicator, coordinator and model; item TabsContainerItem, TabsContainerItemDelegate, the invalidation flags and observer, TabsScreenFragment and its TabsScreenFragmentDelegate.
• react.containers.tabs.* (17 files), keeping the host and screen sub-packages: TabsHost, TabsScreen, their view managers, event emitters and event packages, TabsHostLayoutCoordinator (ReactChoreographer), TabsScreenIcon / TabsScreenIconTinting (Fresco image loading) and ReactTabsBottomNavigationView. The font resolver isn't part of this move: refactor(Android, Tabs): resolve tab title fonts through a host-supplied resolver #4944 already put FontResolver / ReactFontResolver in core.common.text / react.common.text.
• RNScreensPackage imports the moved view managers.

Test plan

Run locally:

• yarn lint-android (layer check now covering the tabs' core part, plus spotlessCheck) passes.
• :react-native-screens:compileDebugKotlin succeeds.
• git grep -nE 'com\.swmansion\.rnscreens\.tabs\b' -- android FabricExample/e2e apps returns nothing.
• git diff -M --diff-filter=MR -U0 <base>... -- '*.kt' | grep -E '^[+-][^+-]' | grep -vE '^[+-](package|import) ' shows only the KDoc reference in TabsNavigationStateObserver.
• 36 files are detected as renames.

On device (Android, FabricExample, release build, Pixel 3a API 34 emulator), Detox:

• Every Android-applicable file in FabricExample/e2e/single-feature-tests/tabs/, example-tests/bottomTabs, and stack-v5/test-stack-simple-nav / test-stack-lifecycle-events: 13 suites, 81 tests pass (test-tabs-item-badge and test-tabs-navigation-state-search-tab are iOS-gated). Crash buffer empty.

Correction (Claude, 2026-10-20): an earlier version of this test plan said the release build ran R8. It did not: FabricExample sets enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = false (FabricExample/android/app/build.gradle:75), so R8 shrinking was not exercised, locally or in CI. No breakage is expected: android/consumer-rules.pro keeps com.swmansion.rnscreens.**, which still matches the moved classes.

Checklist

• Included code example that can be used to test this change.
• For visual changes, included screenshots / GIFs / recordings documenting the change.
• For API changes, updated relevant public types. (Native only: fully qualified names of the tabs classes change, see the note above. No JS types change.)
• Ensured that CI passes

📝 Walkthrough

This PR relocates Android tabs classes from legacy package namespaces to core.containers.tabs and react.containers.tabs. It updates imports and view-manager references. The supplied summaries report no runtime logic changes.

Changes: Android tabs package relocation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Core tabs contracts and container android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/core/containers/tabs/{appearance,container,item}/*	Tabs appearance, container, navigation, accessibility, and item classes move to the core.containers.tabs package hierarchy. Their reported behavior is unchanged.
React tabs screen and events android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/react/containers/tabs/screen/*	React screen classes, the view manager, and screen events move to the React tabs package hierarchy. Their imports use the relocated core classes.
React tabs host and registration android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/react/containers/tabs/host/*, android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/rnscreens/RNScreensPackage.kt	Host classes and host events move to the React tabs package hierarchy. The view-manager imports reference the relocated React classes.

Why do we even have core/containers/tabs/screen directory, when we've migrated to the item nomenclature?

[kkafar]

Why is this file in host subdirectory, while host is react specific concept? Suggest different placement for this file.

[kkafar]

f140390: moved to core.containers.tabs.container, next to TabsContainer, its only user (it is created and owned there). TabsContainer drops the now same-package import. It's still a package-line-only change; my earlier "a move to container would be a content change" in the description was wrong.

Not changed here: the class name still says Host. If you want that gone too, I'd rename it to TabsContainerA11yCoordinator in a follow-up, so this PR stays rename-only.

Why do we even have core/containers/tabs/screen directory, when we've migrated to the item nomenclature?

No good reason, it was carried over from the tabs/ sub-packages. f140390 renames it: the core part is now core.containers.tabs.{appearance, container, item}, and item holds TabsContainerItem, TabsContainerItemDelegate, TabsItemConfigurationObserver, TabsItemInvalidationFlags, TabsScreenFragment and TabsScreenFragmentDelegate. The react side keeps host / screen, which are the React component names. Still rename-only (package / import lines + the one KDoc link); #4975, #4976 and #4982 are rebased on top.

Two things left as they are, for you to decide:

• Stack has the same problem, already on main (refactor(Android, Stack v5): move stack to core / react #4943): core.containers.stack.host (StackContainer, operations, …) and core.containers.stack.screen (StackContainerItem, StackScreenFragment, …). For consistency I'd rename them to container / item in a small follow-up PR.
• Class names: TabsScreenFragment / StackScreenFragment (and their delegates) and TabsHostA11yCoordinator still use React terms in core. Renaming them is a content change, so also a follow-up if you want it.

- Line 1: Preserve the public API symbol TabsContainer under its existing
com.swmansion.rnscreens.tabs.container package while retaining the new core
implementation. Add a deprecated compatibility declaration or forwarding alias
at the old FQN that delegates to the relocated TabsContainer, so downstream
imports continue to compile without changing behavior.
