Vertical and Horizontal Scroll View Like Google Play Store in React Native

Google Play Store View

This is an example to make Vertical and Horizontal Scroll View Like Google Play Store in React Native. You can easily scroll vertically or horizontally and can click view more to see more items of that category.

To Make a React Native App

Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run

npm install -g react-native-cli

Run the following commands to create a new React Native project

react-native init ProjectName

If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:

react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.X

react-native init ProjectName --version react-native@next

This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.

Installation of Dependency

For this example we need react-native-elements react-native-vector-icons dependency.

To install this open the terminal and jump into your project

cd ProjectName

Run the following command

npm install react-native-elements --save

npm install react-native-vector-icons --save

These commands will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory.

Linking of Dependency

After the updation of React Native 0.60, they have introduced autolinking feature means we do not require to link the library but they have also mentioned that some libraries need linking and react-native-vector-icons is one of those cases. So for that, we need to link the library using

react-native link react-native-vector-icons

CocoaPods Installation

Now we need to install pods

cd ios && pod install && cd ..

Code

Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code

App.js

// This is an Example to make Vertical+Horizontal Scroll View Like Google Play Store in RN
import * as React from 'react';
import { Text, View, StyleSheet, Image, ScrollView } from 'react-native';
import { Card } from 'react-native-elements';

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <ScrollView>
        <View style={{ marginTop: 25 }}>
          <SingleRow />
          <SingleRow />
          <SingleRow />
          <SingleRow />
          <SingleRow />
        </View>
      </ScrollView>
    );
  }
}
class SingleRow extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    const slides = [
      {
        key: '11 MB',

    ];
    global.slides = slides;
  }
  onPressLearnMore() {

  render() {
