I'm using react navigation in a react native project and I want to customize the header with an image.
For a color I can use simple styling, but since react native doesn't support background images I need a different solution.

According to the official docs of react-navigation v5, it can be implemented as follows:
https://reactnavigation.org/docs/headers/#replacing-the-title-with-a-custom-component
<Stack.Navigator>
<Stack.Screen
name="Home"
component={HomeScreen}
// title: 'App Name'
options={{
headerTitle: (props) => ( // App Logo
<Image
style={{ width: 200, height: 50 }}
source={require('../assets/images/app-logo-1.png')}
resizeMode='contain'
/>
),
headerTitleStyle: { flex: 1, textAlign: 'center' },
}}
/>
</Stack.Navigator>
Update for React Navigation v5! (making this post for future references)
For react navigation 5, I found this solution.
In StackNavigator.js class you can set a different image for each page (Stack.Screen):
<Stack.Screen
name='Home'
component={HomeScreen}
options={{
title: <Image style={{ width: 250, height: 50 }}
source = require('../images/yourimage.png')}/>
}}
/>
Then, you must adjust width, height, and position of the image, but it works! I think it's the simpliest way. Here's the output (yes, it's my image, before adjustments).
Don't forget to import Image!
import { Image } from 'react-native'
