React-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view: Warning: VirtualizedLists should never be nested inside plain ScrollViews with the same orientation

[jaksm]

I am getting this warning since the new expo SDK 36 update. I was able to solve these warnings by wrapping every <Flatlist> with <SafeAreaView> but I can't seem to find a way to do the same with <KeyboardAwareScrollView>.

Any thoughts on this?

Wrapper Component utilizing KeyboardAwareScrollView

import React, { FC } from 'react';
import {
  KeyboardAwareScrollView,
  KeyboardAwareScrollViewProps,
} from 'react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view';

/*
 * THE KEYBOARD IS LAVA 🔥🔥🔥
 * */

export const KeyboardAwareView: FC<KeyboardAwareScrollViewProps> = ({ children, ...rest }) => {
  return <KeyboardAwareScrollView {...rest}>{children}</KeyboardAwareScrollView>;
};

KeyboardAwareView.defaultProps = {
  resetScrollToCoords: { x: 0, y: 0 },
  scrollEnabled: true,
  enableOnAndroid: true,
  contentContainerStyle: {
    flexGrow: 1,
    alignItems: 'stretch',
  },
};

Usage

 // Adding <SafeAreaView> here does nothing
<Screen alignItems={'stretch'} justifyContent={'flex-start'}>
          // Adding <SafeAreaView> here does nothing
      <KeyboardAwareView>
             // Adding <SafeAreaView> here does nothing
            <ProfileImage
              onPick={({ uri }) =>
                this.setState(prevState => ({ ...prevState, photo: uri }), this.handleUserInfoSubmit)
              }
              placeholderURI={user.photoURL}
            />
            <ProfileHeading>{user.displayName}</ProfileHeading>
            <ProfileText>{user.email}</ProfileText>

            <ProfileForm>
              <Field>
                <Subheading>{i18n.t('screens.profile.settings.inputs.name')}</Subheading>
                <Input
                  placeholder={'Full Name'}
                  autoCapitalize={'words'}
                  autoCorrect={false}
                  keyboardType={'name-phone-pad'}
                  autoCompleteType={'name'}
                  onChangeText={displayName => this.handleUserInfoInput('displayName', displayName)}
                  value={displayName}
                  defaultValue={user.displayName}
                />
              </Field>

              <Field>
                <Subheading>{i18n.t('screens.profile.settings.inputs.email')}</Subheading>
                <Input
                  placeholder={'Email'}
                  keyboardType={'email-address'}
                  autoCapitalize={'none'}
                  autoCorrect={false}
                  autoCompleteType={'email'}
                  onChangeText={email => this.handleUserInfoInput('email', email)}
                  value={email}
                  defaultValue={user.email}
                />
              </Field>

              <Field>
                <Subheading>{i18n.t('screens.profile.settings.inputs.phoneNumber')}</Subheading>
                <ChangePhoneNumber defaultValue={user.phoneNumber} />
              </Field>
            </ProfileForm>

            <Button onPress={() => (changed ? this.handleUserInfoSubmit() : logout())}>
              {changed
                ? i18n.t('screens.profile.settings.button.updateInfo')
                : i18n.t('screens.profile.settings.button.logout')}
            </Button>
          </KeyboardAwareView>
      </Screen>

Same issue

I have done some digging and I think this answers the question why its happening.

(https://forums.expo.io/t/warning-virtualizedlists-should-never-be-nested-inside-plain-scrollviews-with-the-same-orientation-use-another-virtualizedlist-backed-container-instead/31361/9)

In terms of a solution... perhaps trying KeyboardAwareFlatList instead of KeyboardAwareScrollView could resolve the issue.

Hi,
This issue is weird because the library works perfectly when this is the root component (before navigation component).
But if I want to avoid this kind of nesting, I get strange scroll behaviour (wrong place or huge padding).
What can we do to avoid both issues ?
