Same thing happening for me. It is swipe first and last item.

Did u got any solution for infinte loop in android ?? it important for me to work it on android

[har2008preet]

useScrollView={true}
firstItem={data.length}
initialScrollIndex={data.length}
getItemLayout={(data, index) => (
          {length: width, offset: width * index, index}
)}
horizontal={true}
loop={true}
loopClonesPerSide={data.length}
data={data.banners}

This worked for me

@har2008preet ⚠️ I strongly advise against that because you're basically rendering thrice your data set. Meaning if you have 10 items in your data prop, you're now rendering 30 items all at once!

[har2008preet]

@bd-arc noted. Will look for other option.

[Ericky14]

@har2008preet Have you found another option for infinite loop?

[TomJKlug]

Loop does not work in android. It either gets stuck or does some really odd index hopping resulting in some insane visuals.

same issue

[har2008preet]

initialScrollIndex={this.props.store.banners.length-3}
                    firstItem={this.props.store.banners.length-3}
                    data={this.props.store.banners}

Working for me, without any overhead.
How's this for a hack? @bd-arc 😄

[qiaoyixuan]

what does the number 3 mean？

3 is the default loopClonePerSide value

I have similar experience. Loop works inconsistently.

1. It stops at the end of the last item
2. When you scroll back in the reverse direction after reaching to last item as in step # 1, the loop looks like working in both the direction

I think we need some attention to this issue.

[ThatMate]

I have created a video showing the inconsistency in loop behavior:

Inconsistent Looping

[ThatMate]

I think I might be overreacting, it maybe just the standard issue in emulator as mentioned here: https://github.com/archriss/react-native-snap-carousel#important-note-regarding-android

I will have a check. Sorry for the noise.

[har2008preet]

@ThatMate it might fix in the future release #678

[Tejaswini-PD]

@ThatMate I am facing the same issue where the scroll stops to the right at 3rd slide during second loop. When we scroll to left, infinite scroll is working properly. Have you found any fix for it ?

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@Tejaswini-PD I'm having the same problem as you. Did you find any work around?

Thanks in advance.

[Tejaswini-PD]

@JoaoCEAlmeida In line number ~820 in Carousel.js file, we have this code -

if (nextActiveItem === this._itemToSnapTo && scrollOffset === this._scrollOffsetRef) { this._repositionScroll(nextActiveItem); }

So scrollOffset and this._scrollOffsetRef didn't have same numbers after the decimal. Not sure what causes this. But truncating the decimal part of it before checking equality fixed this issue for me - Math.trunc(scrollOffset) === Math.trunc(this._scrollOffsetRef).

Hope this helps !

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@Tejaswini-PD still doesn't work, the behavior is the same. But thanks for the help.

Can you share the props that you're passing to your carousel?

[Tejaswini-PD]

@JoaoCEAlmeida These are the optional props I am using. Data, renderItem, etc are anyways needed.
layout={‘default’} sliderWidth={SCREEN_WIDTH} itemWidth={SCREEN_WIDTH} loop autoplay inactiveSlideOpacity={1} inactiveSlideScale={1}

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@Tejaswini-PD what version are you currently using?

[Tejaswini-PD]

@JoaoCEAlmeida I am using version 3.9.1

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@Tejaswini-PD Can't make it work, but thanks for the help.

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

+1

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@ThatMate Did it work for you? I've tested in a real device and still does not work.

Thanks in advance.

[JoaoCEAlmeida]

@Tejaswini-PD how many items are you showing on the screen? I'm showing 4. Can you test your version with 4 items? You just need to divide "itemWidth" prop by 4.

hey guys I just noticed something. Im using the carousel in two places in my app. for some reason in my main menu it loops! but not in the other menu! ( glitches out ) I will check out why this is. ( could be styling reasons ). i'll update you on this.

update: ah pooey so in the main menu in only loops twice going forwards. but infinitely going backwards??
