FlatList/ScrollView doesn't scroll between Touchables - javascript

I have a FlatList that contains Touchables as its renderItems. For some reason, unless you start the scroll on one of the touchables, then the scroll doesn't work. That is, if I click the space between items (the padding/margin) and try to scroll, it doesn't work.
<Modal
onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}
animationType="slide"
transparent={true}
visible={modalVisible}>
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true} style={styles.modalView}>
<Text style={styles.modalText}>Comments</Text>
<FlatList
onStartShouldSetResponder={() => true}
data={comments}
renderItem={(item) => {
return <Comment key={item.item.text} item={item.item} />;
}}></FlatList>
</View>
</Modal>
As you can see, I tried putting onStartShouldSetResponder everywhere, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
For reference, this is what the Comment component looks like:
const Comment = ({item}) => {
console.log('NOTHING MAKES SENSSEEE');
console.log('comment id, cluck id', item.cluck, data.id, data.username);
return (
<View key={item.text} style={styles.commentWrapperStyle}>
<View style={{flex: 1, flexDirection: 'row'}}>
<Image
source={{
uri: item.user.photoURL,
}}
style={styles.profileStyle}
/>
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => {
setReplyPlaceholder(`Reply to ${item.user.name}`);
inputEl.current.focus();
setSendFunction(
() =>
function (event) {
if (event.nativeEvent.text.trim() !== '') {
const user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
var db = firebase.firestore();
const id = 'UbWIMWFCOGbs00S2ZcPN';
const newReplies = item.replies + 1;
console.log(item.replies, item.children);
item.children.push({
user: {
name: user.displayName,
photoURL: user.photoURL,
userId: user.uid,
},
cluck: data.id,
text: event.nativeEvent.text,
likes: 2,
});
db.collection('comments').doc(id).update({
replies: newReplies,
children: item.children,
});
setComment('');
}
},
);
}}
style={{}}>
<View style={{flex: 1, flexDirection: 'row'}}>
<Text style={styles.textBold}>{item.user.name}</Text>
<Text style={styles.textBold}>
{renderPostTime(new Date(), item.date)}
</Text>
</View>
<Text style={styles.commentTextStyle}>{item.text}</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
<RepliesButton item={item} />
</View>
);
};
Starting the scroll on the image doesn't do anything either. For some reason, the scroll only responds to the Touchable.

I fixed it, with generous use of the gesture responder system: https://reactnative.dev/docs/gesture-responder-system.
Specifically, I had to replace my FlatList with a View wrapped in a scrollview. The View had the prop onMoveShouldSetResponder={(evt)=>true}:
<ScrollView>
<View onMoveShouldSetResponder={(evt)=>true}>
...
</View>
</ScrollView>
My original TouchableWithoutFeedback that wrapped everything I had to replace with another
<View onStartShouldSetResponder={()=>{
setState(true);
return false;
}}
>
...
</View>
The setState before returning false was important, because it let me do what I wanted to do, without stopping ScrollView from taking control of the touch if it needed to.
Anyway, all this broke my internal Touchable that I originally had as the renderItem components, so I had to replace those as well with similar Views with response props.

Using 'navigation' in 'cardview

I have a screen with card views.
Each card view has:
1x picture
1x title
1x description
1x touchable opacity
I was hoping to figure out a way that each touchable opacity has different navigation.
Item 0 will have navigation to screen x, the item 1 will have navigation to screen y.
My doubt is it possible to have different functions for each touchable opacity ?
function ServiceCoverageButtong() {
const navigation = useNavigation();
return (
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('GeneralInformationSupportScreen')}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Teste</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
const CardItemNewsProvider = ({item, index}) => {
return (
<View style={styles.container} key={index}>
<Image source={item.imgUrl} style={styles.image} />
<Text style={styles.header}>{item.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.body}>{item.body}</Text>
<ServiceCoverageButtong />
</View>
);
};
How can I create several functions and use the item of CardItemNewsProvider?
I am new to React Native and I am struggling with doing that.
Thanks :)
Yes it's possible. You can pass a prop to your <ServiceCoverageButtong state={"0"}/>
And in your ServiceCoverageButtong() get the state from your props and run a check on what should be returned.
function ServiceCoverageButtong({state}) {
const navigation = useNavigation();
if (state == "0") {
return (
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('GeneralInformationSupportScreen')}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Teste</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
} else {
return (
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('anotherScreen')}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Teste</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
}
If you use one component for your buttons, you can just add onPress prop to your DataNewsProvider
let DataNewsProvider = [
{
title: NewsHomeCountryTitle,
body: NewsHomeCountryBody,
imgUrl: Images.newsYourCountryImage,
textButton: NewsTextButton,
onPress: () => navigation.navigate('GeneralInformationSupportScreen'),
},
{
title: NewsWorldwideTitle,
body: NewsWorldwideBody,
imgUrl: Images.newsWorldwideImage,
textButton: NewsTextButton,
onPress: () => navigation.navigate('anotherScreen'),
},
];
And pass it to your button components TouchableOpacity
const CardItemNewsProvider = ({item, index}) => {
return (
<View style={styles.container} key={index}>
<Image source={item.imgUrl} style={styles.image} />
<Text style={styles.header}>{item.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.body}>{item.body}</Text>
<ServiceCoverageButtong state={item.stateButton} onPress={item.onPress}/>
</View>
);
};
This way you don't need to have additional conditions, and you just pass those functions as it is.
Thanks caslawter!
For anyone interested.
function ServiceCoverageButtong({state}) {
const navigation = useNavigation();
if (state === '0') {
console.log('state', state);
return (
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() =>
navigation.navigate('GeneralInformationSupportScreen')
}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>Hi I'm a test</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
} else {
console.log('state', state);
return (
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => navigation.navigate('anotherScreen')}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>You're really into testing</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
);
}
}
const CardItemNewsProvider = ({item, index}) => {
return (
<View style={styles.container} key={index}>
<Image source={item.imgUrl} style={styles.image} />
<Text style={styles.header}>{item.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.body}>{item.body}</Text>
<ServiceCoverageButtong state={item.stateButton} />
</View>
);
};
And another snipet:
let DataNewsProvider = [
{
title: NewsHomeCountryTitle,
body: NewsHomeCountryBody,
imgUrl: Images.newsYourCountryImage,
textButton: NewsTextButton,
stateButton: '0',
},
{
title: NewsWorldwideTitle,
body: NewsWorldwideBody,
imgUrl: Images.newsWorldwideImage,
textButton: NewsTextButton,
stateButton: '1',
},
];

React Native Modal is not hiding

I am implementing my own Modal, trying to replace the Alert.alert with something more beautiful. I made it to be displayed when needed, but it is not hiding on the button press, but I think I transferred it the needed function. My modal structure is the following:
export const RCModal = ({ title, visible, onButtonPress }) => {
return (
<Modal
animationType='fade'
transparent={true}
visible={visible}
>
<View style={styles.container}>
<Text style={styles.title}>{title}</Text>
<Pressable style={styles.button} onPress={onButtonPress}>
<Text style={styles.text}>OK</Text>
</Pressable>
</View>
</Modal>
)
};
And it is used in the application in the following way:
// ...
const [alertVisible, setAlertVisible] = useState(false);
const [alertTitle, setAlertTitle] = useState();
const [alertOnPress, setAlertOnPress] = useState();
// ...
const winner = (theWinner) => {
setBlocked(true);
setAlertTitle(`${theWinner} win!`);
setAlertOnPress(() => setAlertVisible(!alertVisible));
setAlertVisible(true);
}
// ...
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<RCModal title={alertTitle} visible={alertVisible} onButtonPress={alertOnPress} />
<ScrollView contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1, justifyContent: 'center' }}>
<Text style={styles.title}>Noughts and Crosses</Text>
<Text style={styles.tip}>Get {winCondition()} in row, column or diagonal</Text>
<View style={styles.buttonsContainer}>
<Text style={styles.turnContainer}>Turn: <Text style={[styles.turn, { color: turn === 'X' ? '#2E86C1' : '#E74C3C'}]}>{turn}</Text></Text>
<TouchableHighlight underlayColor="#000000" style={[styles.button, styles.newGameButton]} onPress={setInitialFieldState}>
<Text style={styles.buttonText}>New game</Text>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
<Field state={fieldState} size={fieldSize} onCellPress={onCellPress} />
</ScrollView>
<View style={styles.settingsButtonContainer}>
<TouchableHighlight underlayColor={theme.colors.secondary} style={styles.settingsButton} onPress={onSettingsPress}>
<Image source={require('../img/settings.png')} style={styles.settingsIcon} />
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View>
);
};
When the winner() is called, it is displayed as it should, but when I press OK button, it is not hiding. How can I fix it?
You can use setAlertVisible to change the alertVisible state:
<RCModal title={alertTitle} visible={alertVisible} onButtonPress={() => setAlertVisible(false)} />
The answer was that to set a function like a state variable, I needed to set it like
setAlertOnPress(() => () => setAlertVisible(false))

Show Empty list message only after Loader get ended in React Native using Flat list

I have a flat list, which gets its data source as a state. Actually, this data is from firebase, and i have been using redux. So, the data is fetched in the actions, and using callback i get the data to state.
What i want to achieve is, when there is no data found from the api, An empty list message should be show in the view. Actually , i achieved this using "ListEmptyComponent". But whats happening is the screen starts with empty message, and the spinner loads below it, and then if data found the message goes away as well as spinner.
But, what i wanted is, when the view gets rendered the first thing everyone should see is the spinner, and then if data empty spinner hides then empty list message displays.
How to achieve this ?
My Action :
export const fetchOrderHistory = (phone, callback) => {
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({ type: START_SPINNER_ACTION_FOR_ORDER_HISTORY })
firebase.database().ref('orders/'+phone)
.on('value', snapshot => {
const snapShotValue = snapshot.val();
callback(snapShotValue);
dispatch ({ type: ORDER_HISTORY_FETCHED , payload: snapshot.val()});
dispatch({ type: STOP_SPINNER_ACTION_FRO_ORDER_HISTORY })
});
};
};
My Flat List & spinner:
<FlatList
data={this.state.historyOfOrders}
keyExtractor={item => item.uid}
ListEmptyComponent={this.onListEmpty()}
renderItem={({ item }) => (
<Card
containerStyle={{ borderRadius: 5 }}
>
<View style={styles.topContainerStyle}>
<View>
<TouchableOpacity
onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('ViewOrderScreen', {itemsOfOrder: item}) }
>
<View style={styles.viewOrderContainer}>
<View style={styles.viewOrderTextContainer}>
<Text style={styles.viewOrderTextStyle}>View Order</Text>
</View>
<Icon
name='ios-arrow-forward'
type='ionicon'
color='#ff7675'
/>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</View>
</View>
</Card>
)}
/>
{this.props.isSpinnerLoading &&
<View style={styles.loading}>
<ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#03A9F4"/>
</View> }
My Call back at componentWillMount which set state:
componentWillMount() {
this.props.fetchOrderHistory((this.props.phone), (snapShotValue)=> {
const userOrderHistory = _.map(snapShotValue, (val,uid) => ({uid, ...val}))
this.setState({ historyOfOrders: userOrderHistory })
});
}
My EmptyList Message:
onListEmpty = () => {
return <View style={{ alignSelf: 'center' }}>
<Text style={{ fontWeight: 'bold', fontSize: 25 }}>No Data</Text>
</View>
}
My State:
state = { historyOfOrders: "" }
I am getting the spinner values from the reducers, using mapStateToProps.
Kindly Guide me, through
you have to do two things for that.
First, show Flatlist only if the loader is stopped. Second, set default value of this.state.historyOfOrders is null and check if this.state.historyOfOrders not null then only show Flatlist.
Here is a code:
{(!this.props.isSpinnerLoading && this.state.historyOfOrders != null) ?
(
<FlatList
data={this.state.historyOfOrders}
keyExtractor={item => item.uid}
ListEmptyComponent={this.onListEmpty()}
renderItem={({ item }) => (
<Card containerStyle={{ borderRadius: 5 }}>
<View style={styles.topContainerStyle}>
<View>
<TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('ViewOrderScreen', {itemsOfOrder: item}) }>
<View style={styles.viewOrderContainer}>
<View style={styles.viewOrderTextContainer}>
<Text style={styles.viewOrderTextStyle}>View Order</Text>
</View>
<Icon
name='ios-arrow-forward'
type='ionicon'
color='#ff7675'
/>
</View>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</View>
</Card>
)}
/>
) : null
}
With this condition, even if you want loader above Flatlist you can do that.
The path you should take is rendering only the spinner when the loading flag is set and rendering the list when loading flag is false.
Your render method should be like below
render()
{
if(this.props.isSpinnerLoading)
{
return (<View style={styles.loading}>
<ActivityIndicator size="large" color="#03A9F4"/>
</View> );
}
return (/** Actual List code here **/);
}

this.state.users is an array, but still doesn't render in FlatList

So what I do now: I am using Firebase for my React Native project.
The user writes another user's email in . Then there is a check if this email exists in database. If the email exists, then it writes as an array to users=[] in state and should be rendered in FlatList.
Everything works fine except one thing: FlatList doesn't render anything though I have an array.
That's what I receive from console.log(users):
[{...}]
0:
email: "test#gmail.com"
id: "-LSVedv_anPyD3We-4_Q"
That's how my code looks like:
state = {
promptVisible: false,
loading: false,
users: []
};
findUserEmail = (email) => {
firebase.database()
.ref(`/users`)
.orderByChild("email")
.equalTo(email)
.once("value")
.then(snapshot => {
if (snapshot.val()) {
const value = snapshot.val()
this.setState({ users: Object.keys(value).map((id) => ({
id,
...value[id]
})), promptVisible: false})
} else {
Alert.alert("Email doesn't exist")
}
})
}
renderItem({item}) {
return (
<View style = {styles.contactContainer}>
<View style={styles.userRow}>
<View style={styles.userImage}>
<Avatar
width={60}
rounded
source={{
uri: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Matterhorn_from_Domhütte_-_2.jpg/1200px-Matterhorn_from_Domhütte_-_2.jpg"
}}
/>
</View>
<View>
<View style={styles.emailBackground}>
<Text
style = {styles.contact} >
{item.email}
</Text>
</View>
<Text
style = {styles.message} >
Da inne lauft öpis...
</Text>
</View>
</View>
</View>
)
}
render() {
console.log(this.state.users);
if (this.state.loading) {
return (
<View style={{alignItems: 'center', justifyContent: 'center', flex: 1}}>
<ActivityIndicator size="large" color="dodgerblue" />
</View>
)
}
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<Header
centerComponent={{ text: 'Nachrichten', style: { color: '#FF0000', fontSize: 20, fontWeight: 'bold' } }}
outerContainerStyles={{ backgroundColor: '#ffffff' }}
rightComponent={this.renderButton()}
/>
<View style = {styles.contentContainer}>
<FlatList
data={this.state.users}
renderItem={this.renderItem}
keyExtractor={item => item.email}
/>
</View>
<Prompt
title="Email eingeben"
placeholder="Email"
visible={this.state.promptVisible}
onCancel={() => this.setState({promptVisible: false})}
onSubmit={(email) => this.findUserEmail(email)} />
</View>
);
}
So the question is what do I do wrong? And how can I fix it?
So I found an error. That was too simple and dumb in the same way.
I just deleted this component in render and everything worked fine.
<View style = {styles.contentContainer}>
Try replacing this...
<FlatList
data={this.state.users}
renderItem={this.renderItem}
keyExtractor={item => item.email}
/>
With a static, object-filled array in the shape of what you expect this.state.users to look like. Here's an example...
<FlatList
data={[{id: "A", email: "testA#gmail.com"},{id: "B", email: "testB#gmail.com"}]}
renderItem={this.renderItem}
keyExtractor={item => item.email}
/>
This won't solve your problem, but it's what I was suggesting as a troubleshooting step.

React native - dynamically add a view onPress

I have a View that contains a button - onPress it opens a modal showing a list of contacts.
onPress of any of those contacts (pickContact function) I would like to dynamically add a new View to _renderAddFriendTile (above button).
Also ideally, the 'Add' icon next each contact name (in the modal) should update ('Remove' icon) whether or not they are present in _renderAddFriendTile View.
What would be the best way to do it?
[UPDATED code]
import React, {Component} from 'react'
import {
Text,
View,
ListView,
ScrollView,
StyleSheet,
Image,
TouchableHighlight,
TextInput,
Modal,
} from 'react-native'
const friends = new ListView.DataSource({
rowHasChanged: (r1, r2) => r1 !== r2
}).cloneWithRows([
{
id: 1,
firstname: 'name01',
surname: 'surname01',
image: require('../images/friends/avatar-friend-01.png')
},
{
id: 2,
firstname: 'name02',
surname: 'surname02',
image: require('../images/friends/avatar-friend-02.png')
},
{
id: 3,
firstname: 'name03',
surname: 'surname03',
image: require('../images/friends/avatar-friend-03.png')
},
{
id: 4,
firstname: 'name04',
surname: 'surname04',
image: require('../images/friends/avatar-friend-04.png')
},
])
class AppView extends Component {
state = {
isModalVisible: false,
contactPicked: [],
isFriendAdded: false,
}
setModalVisible = visible => {
this.setState({isModalVisible: visible})
}
pickContact = (friend) => {
if(this.state.contactPicked.indexOf(friend) < 0){
this.setState({
contactPicked: [ ...this.state.contactPicked, friend ],
})
}
if(this.state.contactPicked.indexOf(friend) >= 0){
this.setState({isFriendAdded: true})
}
}
_renderAddFriendTile = () => {
return(
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
<View style={[styles.step, styles.stepAddFriend]}>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.addFriendButtonContainer} onPress={() => {this.setModalVisible(true)}}>
<View style={styles.addFriendButton}>
<Text style={styles.addFriendButtonText}>Add a friend</Text>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View>
)
}
render(){
return (
<ScrollView style={styles.container}>
<Modal
animationType={'fade'}
transparent={true}
visible={this.state.isModalVisible}
>
<View style={styles.addFriendModalContainer}>
<View style={styles.addFriendModal}>
<TouchableHighlight onPress={() => {this.setModalVisible(false)}}>
<View>
<Text style={{textAlign:'right'}}>Close</Text>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
<ListView
dataSource={friends}
renderRow={(friend) => {
return (
<TouchableHighlight onPress={() => {this.pickContact()}}>
<View style={[styles.row, styles.friendRow]}>
<Image source={friend.image} style={styles.friendIcon}></Image>
<Text style={styles.name}>{friend.firstname} </Text>
<Text style={styles.name}>{friend.surname}</Text>
<View style={styles.pickContainer}>
<View style={styles.pickWrapper}>
<View style={this.state.isFriendAdded ? [styles.buttonActive,styles.buttonSmall]: [styles.buttonInactive,styles.buttonSmall]}>
<Image source={this.state.isFriendAdded ? require('../images/button-active.png'): require('../images/button-inactive.png')} style={styles.buttonIcon}></Image>
</View>
</View>
</View>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
)
}}
/>
</View>
</View>
</Modal>
{this._renderAddFriendTile()}
</ScrollView>
)
}
}
export default AppView
Since you need to update something dynamically, that's a clear indication you need to make use of local state for modelling that data. (Setting aside you are not using a state library management like Redux)
state = {
isModalVisible: false,
contactPicked: null,
}
Your pickContact function needs the friend data from the listView, so you need to call it with the row selected:
<TouchableHighlight onPress={() => {this.pickContact(friend)}}>
Then inside your pickContact function, update your UI with the new contactsPicked data model
pickContact = (friend) => {
this.setState({
contactPicked: friend,
});
}
That will make your component re-render and you can place some logic inside _renderAddFriendTile to render some extra UI (Views, Texts..) given the existence of value on this.state.contactPicked You could use something along these lines:
_renderAddFriendTile = () => {
return(
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
{this.state.contactPicked && (
<View>
<Text>{contactPicked.firstName}<Text>
</View>
)}
<View style={[styles.step, styles.stepAddFriend]}>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.addFriendButtonContainer} onPress={() => {this.setModalVisible(true)}}>
<View style={styles.addFriendButton}>
<Text style={styles.addFriendButtonText}>Add a friend</Text>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View>
)
}
Notice you now hold in state the firstName of the contact picked, so point number 2 should be easy to address. Just inside renderRow of ListView, render a different Icon if friend.firstname === this.state.contactPicked.firstname
Note: Don't rely on firstname for this sort of check since you can have repeated ones and that would fail. The best solution is to provide to your list model an unique id property per contact and use that id property for checking the logic above.
Side Notes
The part {this.state.contactPicked && (<View><Text>Some text</Text></View)} is using conditional rendering. The && acts as an if so if this.state.contactPicked is truthy, it will render the view, otherwise it will render nothing (falsy and null values are interpreted by react as "nothing to render").
Of course, if you want to render more than one item dynamically, your state model should be an array instead, i.e contactsPicked, being empty initially. Every time you pick a contact you'll add a new contact object to the array. Then inside _renderAddFriendTile you can use map to dynamically render multiple components. I think you won't need a ListView, unless you wanna have a separate scrollable list.
_renderAddFriendTile = () => {
return(
<View style={{flex: 1}}>
{this.state.contactsPicked.length && (
<View>
{this.state.contactsPicked.map(contact => (
<Text>{contact.firstName}</Text>
)}
</View>
)}
<View style={[styles.step, styles.stepAddFriend]}>
<TouchableHighlight style={styles.addFriendButtonContainer} onPress={() => {this.setModalVisible(true)}}>
<View style={styles.addFriendButton}>
<Text style={styles.addFriendButtonText}>Add a friend</Text>
</View>
</TouchableHighlight>
</View>
</View>
)
}
