React Native Flash List Basic Setup

[@JohanHolm-k6h]

The estimatedItemSize is not the item array size but rather the estimated "pixel" height of one item.

[@arslan99]

Oh my bad. I thought it was array size I'll pin this comment just so other devs see

[@UjithNimantha]

Can you use pagination with this? Like if I want to make an infinite loading on scroll.

[@arslan99]

I'm not too sure sorry

[@mr_lemonade_007]

yes you can

[@bengal988]

I get huge blank spaces when scrolling up/down, same with RecyclerListView library

[@arslan99]

Oh uhhh there should be a prop to stop that but I'm not too sure what that was

[@maXXik1337]

for regular FlatList prop is called windowsSize

[@bengal988]

@@maXXik1337 I tried every prop in the docs, the library doesn't work well with logic heavy components. Huge white spaces whilst scrolling makes it unusable

[@maXXik1337]

@@bengal988 Ye, optimizing heavy components is very tricky and FlatList performance is big disadvantage of RN for sure. You can try to play around with memo() or useMemo() but it is complicated.

​@@bengal988are you able to resolve this issue?

[@Krishnasaini]

have you tried it on android ?

[@arslan99]

Yup so in the beginning of the video I have two emulators the emulator on the right is Android

[@Krishnasaini]

@@arslan99 i am getting this error - autolayoutview was not found in the UI manager. On diving deep, i found solution 'pod install' for iOS, but no solution for Android. This error comes when the library that you are using requires native dependencies that have not been linked to your react native project.
Any solution you have ?

Hey i am new to development field. Is this link suggesting to change kotlin version. If yes, how can I do that. I am suing react native

[@arslan99]

@@Krishnasaini yes so you'd have to update gradle in your Android folder and I agree I'd sue them too 🤣🤣
