React Native ScrollView

The ScrollView is a generic scrollable container, which scrolls multiple child components and views inside it. In the ScrollView, we can scroll the components in both direction vertically and horizontally. By default, the ScrollView container scrolls its components and views in vertical. To scroll its components in horizontal, it uses the props horizontal: true (default, horizontal: false).

React Native ScrollView Example

In this example, we create a vertical ScrollView using Text and Button components.
App.js

  1. import React, { Component } from 'react';  
  2. import { AppRegistry, ScrollView, Image, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';  
  3.   
  4. export default class ScrolledViewExample extends Component {  
  5.     onPressButton() {  
  6.         alert('You clicked the button!')  
  7.     }  
  8.   
  9.     render() {  
  10.         return (  
  11.             <ScrollView >  
  12.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scroll me plz</Text>  
  13.                 <Button title={'Button 1'} onPress={this.onPressButton} />  
  14.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>React Native Example of ScrollView</Text>  
  15.                 <Button title={'Button 2'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  16.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>React Native ScrollView Example</Text>  
  17.                 <Button title={'Button 3'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  18.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>If you like</Text>  
  19.                 <Button title={'Button 4'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  20.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scrolling down</Text>  
  21.                 <Button title={'Button 5'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  22.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scrolling down</Text>  
  23.                 <Button title={'Button 6'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  24.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>What's the best</Text>  
  25.                 <Button title={'Button 7'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  26.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>What's the best</Text>  
  27.                 <Button title={'Button 8'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  28.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Framework around?</Text>  
  29.                 <Button title={'Button 9'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  30.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Framework around?</Text>  
  31.                 <Button title={'Button 10'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  32.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>React Native</Text>  
  33.                 <Button title={'Button 11'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  34.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scroll me plz</Text>  
  35.                 <Button title={'Button 12'} onPress={this.onPressButton} />  
  36.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scroll me plz</Text>  
  37.                 <Button title={'Button 13'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  38.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>If you like</Text>  
  39.                 <Button title={'Button 14'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  40.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>If you like</Text>  
  41.                 <Button title={'Button 15'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  42.                 <Text style={{fontSize:20}}>Scrolling down</Text>  
  43.                 <Button title={'Button 16'} onPress={this.onPressButton}/>  
  44.             </ScrollView>  
  45.         );  
  46.     }  
  47. }  
  48. // skip this line if you are using Create React Native App  
  49. AppRegistry.registerComponent('AwesomeProject', () => ScrolledViewExample);  

Output:

React Native Horizontal ScrollView Example

The horizontal ScrollView scrolls the components and views from left to right. It will be implemented by setting the props horizontal to true (horizontal={true}).

App.js

  1. import React, { Component } from 'react';  
  2. import { AppRegistry, ScrollView, View, Image, Text, Button, StyleSheet } from 'react-native';  
  3.   
  4. export default class ScrolledViewExample extends Component {  
  5.     onPressButton() {  
  6.         alert('You clicked the button!')  
  7.     }

  9.     render() {  
  10.         return (  
  11.             <ScrollView  horizontal={true} style={styles.container}>  
  12.                 <Text style={{fontSize:22, padding: 10}}>Horizontal ScrollView</Text>

    The details that you mentioned regarding scroll view in react native is really great. I have gone through all the screenshots and the code also that you attached as sample and I believe that nothing could explain better than this.
    I was searching for react native development company and got your blog.
    Thanks sharing such a great blog.

How I Reduced the Size of My React Native App by 85%

How and Why You Should Do It I borrowed 25$ from my friend to start a Play Store Developer account to put up my first app. I had already created the app, created the assets and published it in the store. Nobody wants to download a todo list app that costs 25mb of bandwidth and another 25 MB of storage space. So today I am going to share with you how I reduced the size of Tet from 25 MB to around 3.5 MB. Size Matters Like any beginner, I wrote my app using Expo, the awesome React Native platform that makes creating native apps a breeze. There is no native setup, you write javascript and Expo builds the binaries for you. I love everything about Expo except the size of the binaries. Each binary weighs around 25 MB regardless of your app. So the first thing I did was to migrate my existing Expo app to React Native. Migrating to React Native react-native init  a new project with the same name Copy the  source  files over from Expo project Install all de...

React Native - Text Input

In this chapter, we will show you how to work with  TextInput  elements in React Native. The Home component will import and render inputs. App.js import React from 'react' ; import Inputs from './inputs.js' const App = () => { return ( < Inputs /> ) } export default App Inputs We will define the initial state. After defining the initial state, we will create the  handleEmail  and the  handlePassword  functions. These functions are used for updating state. The  login()  function will just alert the current value of the state. We will also add some other properties to text inputs to disable auto capitalisation, remove the bottom border on Android devices and set a placeholder. inputs.js import React , { Component } from 'react' import { View , Text , TouchableOpacity , TextInput , StyleSheet } from 'react-native' class Inputs extends Component { state = { ...
