react-native-action-button hide on scroll

hideOnScroll.js

// 1. Define a state variable for showing/hiding the action-button 
state = {
  isActionButtonVisible: true
}

// 2. Define a variable that will keep track of the current scroll position
_listViewOffset = 0

// 3. Add an onScroll listener to your listview/scrollview
<ListView
  ...
  onScroll={this._onScroll}
  ...
/>

// 3. Add some logic in the scroll listener for hiding the action button when scrolling down
_onScroll = (event) => {
  // Simple fade-in / fade-out animation
  const CustomLayoutLinear = {
    duration: 100,
    create: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
    update: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
    delete: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity }
  }
  // Check if the user is scrolling up or down by confronting the new scroll position with your own one
  const currentOffset = event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y
  const direction = (currentOffset > 0 && currentOffset > this._listViewOffset)
    ? 'down'
    : 'up'
  // If the user is scrolling down (and the action-button is still visible) hide it
  const isActionButtonVisible = direction === 'up'
  if (isActionButtonVisible !== this.state.isActionButtonVisible) {
    LayoutAnimation.configureNext(CustomLayoutLinear)
    this.setState({ isActionButtonVisible })
  }
  // Update your scroll position
  this._listViewOffset = currentOffset
}

// 4. In you render show you action-button only if state.isActionButtonVisible === true
<View style={styles.container}>
  {yourListView}
  {this.state.isActionButtonVisible ? <ActionButton /> : null}
</View>

for android put in constructor:
UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental && UIManager.setLayoutAnimationEnabledExperimental(true);

When I set backdrop props on <ActionButton .. />, it will trigger backdrop every scroll to top. Is it a bug from the component itself?

I am given this error but I don't really understand what I should do.

You specified onScroll on a but not scrollEventThrottle. You will only receive one event. Using 16 you get all the events but be aware that it may cause frame drops, use a bigger number if you don't need as much precision.

@ruxiang05 this warning is about update frequency on iOS. The less the more often (docs)

@mmazzarolo, thanks for code!

I have fixed the bottom bounce issue based on this

How to show alphabet bubble in scroll bar indicator

On iOS we have bounce effect. So I improved a bit:

    const isBottomBounce =
      event.nativeEvent.layoutMeasurement.height -
        event.nativeEvent.contentSize.height +
        event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y >=
      0;


    let direction = currentOffset > 0 && currentOffset > this.listViewOffset ? 'down' : 'up';
    if (direction === 'up' && isBottomBounce) {
      direction = 'down';
    }

For those using functional components you could turn it into a hook like this

import { useState, useRef, useCallback } from 'react';
import { NativeSyntheticEvent, NativeScrollEvent, LayoutAnimation } from 'react-native';

const useHandleScroll = () => {
  const [showButton, setShowButton] = useState(true);

  const scrollOffset = useRef(0);

  const handleScroll = useCallback(
    (event: NativeSyntheticEvent<NativeScrollEvent>) => {
      const CustomLayoutLinear = {
        duration: 100,
        create: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
        update: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
        delete: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
      };
      // Check if the user is scrolling up or down by confronting the new scroll position with your own one
      const currentOffset = event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y;
      const direction = currentOffset > 0 && currentOffset > scrollOffset.current ? 'down' : 'up';
      // If the user is scrolling down (and the action-button is still visible) hide it
      const isActionButtonVisible = direction === 'up';
      if (isActionButtonVisible !== showButton) {
        LayoutAnimation.configureNext(CustomLayoutLinear);
        setShowButton(isActionButtonVisible);
      }
      // Update your scroll position
      scrollOffset.current = currentOffset;
    },
    [showButton]
  );

  return { handleScroll, showButton };
};

export default useHandleScroll;

and then use it like this

const { handleScroll, showButton } = useHandleScroll();

<ScrollView onScroll={handleScroll} />
{showButton && <Button />}

      if (isActionButtonVisible !== showButton) {
        LayoutAnimation.configureNext(CustomLayoutLinear);
        setShowButton(isActionButtonVisible);
      }
      // Update your scroll position
      scrollOffset.current = currentOffset;
    },
    [showButton]
  );

  return { handleScroll, showButton };
};

export default useHandleScroll;

and then use it like this

const { handleScroll, showButton } = useHandleScroll();

<ScrollView onScroll={handleScroll} />
{showButton && <Button />}

Could you please help me in converting the above code into Class Component unable to use the Hook in class.

Thanks, @hmoule

    if (direction === 'up' && isBottomBounce) {

    }

By adding this code with @hmoule 's code i am getting a weird jump effect in android when started scrolling. Any way to avoid that? it works perfectly on iOS

Thanks, @hmoule

did you faced the same ?
https://gist.github.com/mmazzarolo/cfd467436f9d110e94a685b06eb3900f#gistcomment-3532617

Its run perfect on my android @aravi365
make sure on your scrollview Props looks like this
onScroll={handleScroll.bind(this)}

it happens only when scrolling slowly. Works like normal when scrolled in normal speed. My usecase is not an action button, instead it is a tabbar which autohides on scrolldown. That might be the root cause of this issue? any guesses

For those using functional components you could turn it into a hook like this

import { useState, useRef, useCallback } from 'react';
import { NativeSyntheticEvent, NativeScrollEvent, LayoutAnimation } from 'react-native';

const useHandleScroll = () => {
  const [showButton, setShowButton] = useState(true);

  const scrollOffset = useRef(0);

  const handleScroll = useCallback(
    (event: NativeSyntheticEvent<NativeScrollEvent>) => {
      const CustomLayoutLinear = {
        duration: 100,
        create: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
        update: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
        delete: { type: LayoutAnimation.Types.linear, property: LayoutAnimation.Properties.opacity },
      };
      // Check if the user is scrolling up or down by confronting the new scroll position with your own one
      const currentOffset = event.nativeEvent.contentOffset.y;
      const direction = currentOffset > 0 && currentOffset > scrollOffset.current ? 'down' : 'up';
      // If the user is scrolling down (and the action-button is still visible) hide it
      const isActionButtonVisible = direction === 'up';
      if (isActionButtonVisible !== showButton) {
        LayoutAnimation.configureNext(CustomLayoutLinear);
        setShowButton(isActionButtonVisible);
      }
      // Update your scroll position
      scrollOffset.current = currentOffset;
    },
    [showButton]
  );

  return { handleScroll, showButton };
};

export default useHandleScroll;

and then use it like this

const { handleScroll, showButton } = useHandleScroll();

<ScrollView onScroll={handleScroll} />
{showButton && <Button />}

i have a problem
when i use Animated.Scrollview and when i pass the parameter (handleScroll ) some other components in the screen also hid

thanks

any solution with Reanimated?? I dont want to useState + LayoutAnimation because it's may took glitch with Android
