Description

onMomentumScrollEnd doesn't trigger when use scrollToOffset in Android.

And in iOS it works.

also i find that other methods e.g. scrollToIndex, have the same issue.

Reproducible Demo

export default class App extends Component<Props> {
  renderItem = ({item: { source }}) => {
    return (
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {this.scrollView.scrollToOffset({offset: 375, animated: true})}}>
        <Image
          source={{uri: source.uri}}
          style={{width: 375, height: 375}}
        />
      </TouchableOpacity>
    )
  }

  onMomentumScrollEnd = () => {
    console.log('scrollend')
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <FlatList
        style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'black' }}
        data={[
          { source: { uri: 'http://i.imgur.com/XP2BE7q.jpg' } },
          { source: { uri: 'http://i.imgur.com/5nltiUd.jpg' } },
          { source: { uri: 'http://i.imgur.com/6vOahbP.jpg' } },
          { source: { uri: 'http://i.imgur.com/kj5VXtG.jpg' } }
        ]}
        renderItem={this.renderItem}
        ref={view => this.scrollView = view}
        onMomentumScrollEnd={this.onMomentumScrollEnd}
        scrollEnabled={true}
        horizontal={true}
      />
    );
  }
}

did anyone have check this issue? just let me know there is somebody following this. Or, maybe some of you can tell me that's not an issue with react-native itself. Thanks!

I am also currently having this issue with react native 0.57.5

[otusweb]

ANyone has a workaround for this issue?

Having this issue as well.

+1 on react-native 0.57.8v

[joseph-perez]

I was running into this issue also on 0.57.1. In my case, I was trying to use the scrollTo method on a Scroll View. I wanted to trigger something after scrolling to a specific location on the screen. I was able to use the onScroll prop to achieve this 😄

onScroll(event) {
     if (event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y === this.targetScreenOffsetY) {
        this.doSomething();
     }
}

I am also currently having this issue with react native 0.61.2
@joseph-perez thanks for workaround!

I feel really bad to use scrollview in react-native.Another bug,onMomentumScrollEnd not work when
scroll slowly on ios.

[Bardiamist]

I faced with it. I also use horizontal FlatList. onMomentumScrollEnd very often not called if stop scroll with small velocity.

[Bardiamist]

I accidentally found a solution for myself. I wrapped every FlatList item in TouchableOpacity.

[PaxLyj]

Same problem in 0.61.5, scrollToOffset didn't trigger onMomentumScrollEnd callback.
@Bardiamist no luck for me, it didn't work 😢

i think i can shed some light to when onMomentumScrollEnd does not trigger on android as of RN0.61.5 when dragged manually (and released without velocity), albeit only little related to this issue. that might sound weird but after fiddling for hours to fix this issue, we solved it by replacing margins with paddings on the children and each child needed a backgroundColor property, whether with 'transparent' or a color. not setting this property made the bug reproducible again and we weren't able to get the onMomentumScrollEnd event to fire.

• if children within a FlatList / ScrollView are having margins and the drag appears to be finished on a margin, say "Dead Space", onMomentumScrollEnd is not fired on Android. we found that by adding backgroundColors to each child and whenever we left the drag on a not-background area, no event was fired

• if children within a FlatList / ScrollView are having fixed sizes and paddings yet no backgroundColor is defined and the drag appears to be finished on a Dead Space, onMomentumEnd is not fired on Android (funnily enough, if they're given backgroundColor: 'transparent', the event is fired even though the actual item's padding was hit)

i'm trying to provide a working demo for this as currently we fixed it in a non-abstractable screen.

[ajpaulingalls]

any work arounds to get onMomentumScrollEnd to fire after a call to scrollToOffset?

[ajpaulingalls]

I have added a PR to address this. If anyone here could test it or review it and comment on the PR, I'd love to get some momentum to help it get merged. Thanks!
