I have a FlatList in React Native with fullscreen image and video items (with pagingEnabled). I want to have a short descriptive touchable text floating on top of the FlatList, to open up a view with some information about the image/video when pressed.
To make the user experience nice, I'd like to be able to scroll the FlatList through the touchable text as well. I.e. if the user happen to start their scrolling motion on top of the text, the FlatList would scroll but if it is a simple press event I'd like to open the view with details about the image/video.
No mater what I try I end up with either the text being able to react to the press OR the FlatList being able to scroll. I have tried different configurations with a custom PanResponder and pointerEvents but seem to always end up with a state were one thing does not work. Do you guys have any smart ideas? I am probably just stuck in the wrong train of thought.
This is a simplified view of my component structure:
<View>
<View style={{ position: 'absolute', bottom: 100, zIndex: 10 }}>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => console.log('press')}>
<Text>Some Descriptive Text</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
<FlatList pagingEnabled horizontal {...otherFlatListProps} />
</View>
I have a FlatList that renders a bunch of images but they fade in as I'm scrolling instead of being already rendered. I thought that the windowSize prop of FlatList makes it so that some stuff is already rendered outside the view port.
<FlatList
windowSize={8}
numColumns={columns}
maxToRenderPerBatch={4}
data={cardObjects}
renderItem={itemRender}
keyExtractor={keyExtractor}
/>
The Image component looks like:
<Image
source={{
uri: props.uri,
}}
style={{width: '100%', aspectRatio: ASPECT_RATIO}}
/>
I want the images to be already rendered such that when you scroll down it's already there.
Currently it behaves like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFFmrAHwAQk
Flatlist renders only items that are on screen.
You can pre-render by using these 2 props
initialNumToRender={20}
maxToRenderPerBatch={20}
One more optimization when it comes to rendering images in list react-native-fast-image as recommended in official docs in react-native
I am trying to create a tablet application, and I want my layout to have a sidebar and then content inside but I'm not able to do that I tried searching for how to create a nested navigator that will work independently of its parent and render inside its parent but wasn't able to find any help about it anyone knows how to do that or if its possible to define a fixed component for all navigator children.
I tried working on react-native-navigation, react-navigation and react-native-router-flux but none of them till now have helped me with my problem, anyone got any solution?
sorry if it wasn't clear, please ask questions in the comment if you didn't understand what I'm trying to reach
I found the solution by using React Navigation by Facebook where you can create a navigator and a view but either one that is preceeding the other won't show if you don't give it height and width
<View>
<View style={{ height: "100%", width: 150 }}>
<SideBar navigation={navigation} />
</View>
<View>
<ContentNavigator />
</View>
</View>
I'm currently developing an app using react native and I'm using react-navigation to navigate between screens, using buttons in my header (back arrow for example).
It's working well, however even if my icon is the right size it seems like the click area is really narrow and I struggle with it.
Do you know how I could define a click zone on my button for it to be clicked easier? I've tried the hitslop prop but it's not working for me (maybe it's been deprecated?).
Here is my button:
var backArrow =
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.props.navigation.goBack()}>
<Ionicons name="ios-arrow-back" size={22} color="#ff8c00" />
</TouchableOpacity>
I'm using Expo and testing on an iPhone 6s Plus.
Wrapping the Ionicons in a TouchableOpacity will only provide a clickable area as large as the Ionicons component. You can increase the size of the clickable area with the following structure:
<TouchableOpacity>
<View>
<Ionicons />
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
by styling the View to be as large as you require it.
I'm new to React Native, so am probably asking something very obvious, but please help.
I have a view wrapped in a touchable, so that the whole area responds to tapping. Then have a ScrollView nested inside the view. The overall structure is something like this:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<Text>Hello, here is a very long text that needs scrolling.</Text>
<ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
When this compiles and runs, the tapping is detected, but the scroll view doesn't scroll at all. I made the above code short and simple, but each component has the proper styling and I can see everything rendering fine and the long text is cutoff at the bottom of the ScrollView. Please help.
Thank you!
This is what worked for me:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={...}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}>
// Scrollable content
</View>
</ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
The onStartShouldSetResponder prop stops the touch event propagation towards the TouchableWithoutFeedback element.
I'm using this structure it's working for me:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={() => {}}>
{other content}
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}>
<ScrollView>
{scrollable content}
</ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
You can have a scrollView or FlatList inside a TouchableWithoutFeedback. Tho you shouldn't but some times you have no other choice to go. Taking a good look at this questions and answer validates that.
close react native modal by clicking on overlay,
how to dismiss modal by tapping screen in react native.
For the Question, The only way you can make it work (atleast that i know of), or the simplest way is to add a TouchableOpacity around Text in your code like this,
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<TouchableOpacity>
<Text>Hello, here is a very long text that needs scrolling.</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
Note: TouchableOpacity is a wrapper for making Views respond properly to touches so automatically you can style it the way you would have styled your View Component then set some of its special props to whatever you want e.g activeOpacity etc. Moreso you can use TouchableHighlight it works, but it receives one child element i.e you enclose all your component inside a parent one.
I'm using this structure it's working for me:
<TouchableOpacity>
{other content}
<ScrollView>
<TouchableOpacity activeOpacity={1}>
{scrollable content}
</TouchableOpacity>
</ScrollView>
I found that for my situation the other examples did not work as they disabled the ability to click or disabled the ability to scroll. I instead used:
<FlatList
data={[{key: text1 }, { key: text2 } ...]}
renderItem={({ item }) => (
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.onPressContent}>
<Text style={styles.text}>{item.key}</Text>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
)}
/>
I happend to need to multiple chunks but you could use single element in the data array for one piece of text.
This let the press event to fire as well as let the text scroll.
Trying to use a ScrollView component inside a TouchableWithoutFeedback component can cause some unexpected behavior because the TouchableWithoutFeedback component is designed to capture user gestures and trigger an action, but the ScrollView component is designed to allow users to scroll through content.Here is what the official docs say
Do not use unless you have a very good reason. All elements that
respond to press should have a visual feedback when touched.
TouchableWithoutFeedback supports only one child. If you wish to have
several child components, wrap them in a View. Importantly,
TouchableWithoutFeedback works by cloning its child and applying
responder props to it. It is therefore required that any intermediary
components pass through those props to the underlying React Native
component.
Thats write , you cannot have a scroll view inside the TouchableWithoutFeedback, it the property of react native that it will disable it, you can instead have your scroll view outside the TouchableWithoutFeedback tab and add the other contents that you want upon the click inside a view tag.
You can also use the Touchable Highlights instead, if the TouchableWithoutFeedback does not works.
