I have cobbled together a working version of a Microsoft Excel like "freeze pains" view. The column header scrolls with the content horizontally and the row headers scroll with the content vertically but each is "stuck" in position when the other is scrolled.
You can try the working version here.
It's not optimal as it stutters if you stop a flicked scroll or just swipe around a lot.
The approach uses a couple techniques but the one causing the issue is the synced scroll view.
As outlined here, I've tried setting useNativeDriver: true
, which necessitates changing
ScrollView
to Animated.ScrollView
and
ref={ref => (this.instance = ref)}
to ref={ref => (this.instance = ref._component)}
but then the synced goes completely haywire.
I'd love ideas on a more optimal approach. How can this be improved?
import React from 'react';
import { ScrollView, Animated, Text, View } from 'react-native';
export default class SyncScrollTest extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super();
this.scrollPosition = new Animated.Value(0);
this.scrollEvent = Animated.event(
[{ nativeEvent: { contentOffset: { y: this.scrollPosition } } }],
{ useNativeDriver: false },
);
}
render() {
return (
<View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
<View style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
<ScrollViewVerticallySynced
style={{ width: 50, marginTop: 60 }}
name="C1"
color="#F2AFAD"
onScroll={this.scrollEvent}
scrollPosition={this.scrollPosition}
/>
<ScrollView horizontal bounces={false}>
<View style={{ width: 600 }}>
<View style={{ height: 60, justifyContent: 'center', backgroundColor: '#B8D2EC' }}>
<Text>

<ScrollViewVerticallySynced

onScroll={this.scrollEvent}

</View>
);
}
}
class ScrollViewVerticallySynced extends React.Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.listener = this.props.scrollPosition.addListener((position) => {
this.instance.scrollTo({
y: position.value,
animated: false,
});
});
}
render() {
const { name, color, style, onScroll } = this.props;
return (
<ScrollView
key={name}
ref={ref => (this.instance = ref)}
style={style}
scrollEventThrottle={1}
onScroll={onScroll}
bounces={false}
showsVerticalScrollIndicator={false}
>
{someRows(name, 25, color)}
</ScrollView>
);
}
}
const someRows = (name, rowCount, color) =>
Array.from(Array(rowCount).keys()).map(index =>
(<View
key={`${name}-${index}`}
style={{
height: 50,
backgroundColor: index % 2 === 0 ? color : 'white',
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
}}
>
<Text>
{name} R{index + 1}
</Text>
</View>),
);
