Hey there @maghamvinod! Long time no see in the issue realm. Hope you're doing well amidst all the coding adventures! 😄👋

Based on the issues you've described, it seems like you're encountering performance issues when dealing with a high number of slides in the react-native-reanimated-carousel component. This is a common challenge when dealing with large lists of data in React Native.

One of the solutions suggested in a similar issue #207 is to set a value for the windowSize prop. This prop helps in rendering just a couple of elements of any large list, keeping a good frame rate. The user found better results giving it a value between 3 -> 5. You might want to try this with your own implementation and compare it against the base use case.

Another approach to handle this issue is to implement a lazy loading mechanism. The react-native-reanimated-carousel provides a LazyView component that can be used to only render the slides that are currently in view or near the view, thus reducing the load and potentially fixing the scrolling or sliding issues.

Here's an example of how you might modify a carousel item to use LazyView:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { View, Text } from 'react-native';
import { LazyView } from './LazyView'; // Adjust the import path as necessary

// Example carousel item component
const CarouselItem = ({ index, isActive }) => {
  // isActive is a prop to determine if this item is currently active (visible)
  return (
    <LazyView shouldUpdate={isActive}>
      <View>
        <Text>Slide {index}</Text>
      </View>
    </LazyView>
  );
};

export default CarouselItem;

In this example, isActive would be a prop passed to each CarouselItem based on the carousel's current index and the item's index. You would need to implement the logic to calculate isActive based on the carousel's behavior and pass it accordingly.

The LazyView component in the react-native-reanimated-carousel codebase is designed to conditionally render its children based on the shouldUpdate prop. If shouldUpdate is true, it renders its children. If shouldUpdate is false, it renders nothing (an empty fragment). This behavior allows for optimization by preventing unnecessary rendering of components that do not need to be updated. You can find more about this in the LazyView.tsx file.

Please try these solutions and let me know if they help resolve your issue. If not, could you provide more specific details about your implementation for further assistance?

I used windowsize property also, but not exact animation is coming. If I scroll to next views the previous slides also coming.

Hi,
I tried window size 3,5 but what happening is the previous widows coming after 5th slide also

Hi @dohooo ,

any update on this. Only android side having issue. Ios side it is fine.

Hi, @maghamvinod. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the react-native-reanimated-carousel team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You reported scrolling issues with react-native-reanimated-carousel when handling many slides, particularly on Android.
• Suggested solutions included using the windowSize prop and implementing lazy loading with LazyView.
• You mentioned that the windowSize prop did not resolve the issue, as previous slides still appear after scrolling past the fifth slide.
• The issue is specific to Android, with iOS functioning correctly.

Next Steps:

• Could you confirm if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the react-native-reanimated-carousel? If so, please comment to keep the discussion open.
• If there is no further activity, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
