React Native + NativeBase Content component and Carousel (not displaying)

Question

Good day,

Here's a small problem with my React Native app which uses NativeBase components. The problem is within the <Content /> component of NativeBase. I want to use the <Carousel /> component from github which is react-native-carousel.

The code is as follows:

index.android.js

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  AppRegistry,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} from 'react-native';

import {
  Container,
  Header,
  Content,
  Title,
  Icon,
  Button,
} from 'native-base';

import Carousel from 'react-native-carousel';

import styles from './src/styles/styles';

export default class iABC extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Container>
        <Header backgroundColor='#ffffff' height={50}>
          <Button transparent>
            <Icon name='md-menu' style={styles.header.icon} />
          </Button>

          <Title style={styles.header.title}>
            iABC
          </Title>

          <Button transparent>
            <Icon name='md-person' style={styles.header.icon} />
          </Button>
        </Header>

        <Content>
          <View style={styles.global.content}>            
            <Carousel width={375}
              hideIndicators={false}
              indicatorColor='#000000'
              indicatorSize={25}
              indicatorSpace={20}
              indicatorAtBottom={true}
              indicatorOffset={250}
              indicatorText='>'
              animate={true}
              delay={2000}
              loop={true}>

              <View style={styles.carousel.page1}>
                <Text>Page 1</Text>
              </View>
              <View style={styles.carousel.page1}>
                <Text>Page 2</Text>
              </View>
              <View style={styles.carousel.page1}>
                <Text>Page 3</Text>
              </View>
            </Carousel>
          </View>          
        </Content>
      </Container>
    );
  }
}

AppRegistry.registerComponent('iABC', () => iABC);

Style: carousel.js

'use strict'
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default StyleSheet.create({
  page1: {
    flex: 1,
    height: 150,
    width: 375,
    backgroundColor: '#cdcdcd',
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  }
})

Style: global.js

'use strict'
import { StyleSheet } from 'react-native';

export default StyleSheet.create({
  content: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
  },
})

I have tried many things, styling carousel component, giving it a separate view, styling both at the same time, but unfortunately it doesn't work. However, as long as I remove <Content /> component of NativeBase, it works fine. I'm pretty sure that the problem is with the NativeBase component.

Thanks in advance.

About react-native-carousel

• Renders Carousel
• Carousel renders CarouselPager
• And CarouselPagerrenders ScrollView of RN

About NativeBase Content, it renders ScrollView of RN. So wrapping it in another ScrollView is not necessary and causing problem.

Try excluding NB's Content.
