It looks like you might be encountering a few issues with your CheckBox implementation in React Native. Here are some troubleshooting steps and corrections:

Installation: Ensure that you have installed the @react-native-community/checkbox package correctly. You can do this by running:

npm install @react-native-community/checkbox

Linking: If you're using a React Native version below 0.60, you may need to link the library manually:


react-native link @react-native-community/checkbox

Correct State Variable: In your code, you're using isCheckBox instead of isCheck as your state variable. Update it to:

<CheckBox
value={isCheck}
onValueChange={setCheckBox}
/>

Import Statements: Ensure your imports are correct and complete:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, Text, TouchableOpacity } from 'react-native';
import CheckBox from '@react-native-community/checkbox';

Check Native Module: Sometimes, after installing a new package, you may need to restart your Metro bundler or even rebuild your app for the changes to take effect.

After making these adjustments, try running your app again. If you still encounter issues, please check your project setup and dependencies. Good luck!

One additional suggestion would be to check for cache issues, which can sometimes cause unexpected behavior even after installing new packages. You can try clearing the cache by running npx react-native start --reset-cache. If you're developing for Android, it's also a good idea to ensure your Android build is up-to-date by running: cd android && ./gradlew clean. This will clean the Android build and might resolve any native module issues.

Maybe, because you're using the wrong component name. Try "RCTCheckBox" instead of "AndroidCheckBox" and see if that works. Alternatively, a third-party library like react-native-elements might provide a better CheckBox solution.

Double-check that you've properly installed and linked the @react-native-community/checkbox library. Make sure you've followed the installation steps outlined in the library's documentation.
