In a FlatList I display ListItem elements. Each ListItem has a Text and a Switch. Each time the focus is on the screen, the list of elements is retrieved via an API call.
I have a problem trying to change the value of a ListItem's Switch, the onValueChanged is not triggered and the Switch always come back to its initial value.
I am using the code below. Any idea what I'm missing here ?
function Item({ name, active }) {
const [act, setAct] = useState(active);
return (
<ListItem
title={ name }
hideChevron
switch={
<Switch
onValueChange={(v) => { updateActivation(name, v) }} // API call to change the item's value. This method does not seem to be called !!
value={act}
/>
}
bottomDivider
/>
);
};
export function ListScreen({ navigation }) {
const [error, setError] = useState(null);
const [elements, setElements] = useState([]);
// Update the list of elements each time the focus comes to the current screen
// This part is working fine
useFocusEffect(
React.useCallback(() => {
console.log("screen focused => update list of elements")
async function elements() {
await getElements();
}
elements();
}, [])
);
async function getElements() {
try {
let response = await api.getElements();
setElements([...response]);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
}
return (
<SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
<FlatList
data={elements}
keyExtractor={item => item.name}
renderItem={({ item }) =>
<Item name={item.name}
active={item.active}
/>
}
/>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
Changing the definition of the switch fixed the thing. The onValueChange is correctly triggered in that case.
<ListItem
title={ name }
hideChevron
switch={{
onValueChange: (v) => { updateActivation(name, v) } // API call to change the item's value. This method does not seem to be called !!
value: act
}}
bottomDivider
/>
