I have 2 FlatList inside a ScrollView. The ScrollView and the second FlatList lags as soon as the FlatList comes into view. I tried keeping only one FlatList and it works pretty smooth. I'm also using PureComponent to render each individual items for the FlatList
class HourlyItem extends React.PureComponent {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.row_2_item}>
<Text style={styles.row_2_item_time}>11:00</Text>
<Image source={{uri: 'icon_sun'}} style={styles.row_2_image1}/>
<Text style={styles.row_2_item_temp}>25°</Text>
<View style={styles.row_2_item_rain_holder}>
<Image source={{uri: 'icon_rain_umbrella'}} style={styles.row_2_item_rain_icon}/>
<Text style={styles.row_2_item_rain_value}>0%</Text>
</View>
</View>
)
}
}
class DailyItem extends React.PureComponent {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.row_2_item}>
<Text style={styles.row_2_item_time}>THU</Text>
<Image source={{uri: 'icon_cloud_sun'}} style={styles.row_2_image1}/>
<Text style={[styles.row_2_item_temp, {fontFamily: "avenir_medium"}]}>18°/32°</Text>
<View style={styles.row_2_item_rain_holder}>
<Image source={{uri: 'icon_rain_umbrella'}} style={styles.row_2_item_rain_icon}/>
<Text style={[styles.row_2_item_rain_value, {fontFamily: "avenir_medium"}]}>0%</Text>
</View>
</View>
)
}
}
export class HomePage extends Component {
_renderHourlyItem = ({item}) => (
<HourlyItem produto={item.key}/>
);
_renderDailyItem = ({item}) => (
<DailyItem produto={item.key}/>
);
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
<StatusBar hidden={true}/>
<View style={[styles.mainHeader, {top: this.state.mainHeaderTop}]}>
<Text style={[styles.innerHeaderTemp, {fontSize: 52,lineHeight: 53}]}>28°</Text>
<Text style={styles.innerHeaderLocation}>Kozhikode</Text>
<Text style={styles.innerHeaderDate}>Tuesday, Jan 17</Text>
</View>
<ParallaxScrollView
onScroll={this.handleScroll}
contentBackgroundColor="#fff"
parallaxHeaderHeight={PARALLAX_HEADER_HEIGHT}

)}
renderForeground={() => (

)}>

As you can see my FlatList items have a lot of Views inside it. If I delete 2 or 3 views also the performance gets much better. But can't really do that, as the UI needs that many views.
