Question 1

How to add autoplay to react-native-swiper-flatlist?

Accepted Answer

Set the autoplay prop to true and configure autoplayDelay for the interval between slides. You can also enable autoplayLoop for continuous playback and use autoplayInvertDirection to reverse the swipe order.

Question 2

React Native swiper flatlist vs react-native-swiper: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Swiper FlatList is superior for performance and modern tooling, as it's built on FlatList with TypeScript support, while react-native-swiper might be easier for basic setups but lacks the same optimization and cross-platform reliability.

Question 3

How to customize pagination dots in swiper flatlist?

Accepted Answer

Use props like paginationStyleItem for dot styling, paginationActiveColor and paginationDefaultColor for colors, or override the entire PaginationComponent with a custom React component for full control.

Question 4

Does swiper flatlist support right-to-left languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it fully supports RTL layouts when I18nManager.isRTL is enabled, automatically adjusting swipe direction and pagination alignment without extra configuration.

Question 5

Why is vertical pagination not working on Android?

Accepted Answer

Android has a native limitation with vertical pagination in React Native's ScrollView. As a workaround, import SwiperFlatListWithGestureHandler from 'react-native-swiper-flatlist/WithGestureHandler' to use gesture handler instead.

Question 6

How to integrate gesture handler with swiper flatlist?

Accepted Answer

Import SwiperFlatListWithGestureHandler from the dedicated path 'react-native-swiper-flatlist/WithGestureHandler' instead of the standard component to enable enhanced gesture control and fix Android vertical pagination issues.
