So i have tried couple of things, data pulled from the REST api works fine without trouble, but when i put it to Flatlist, it does not scroll. Tried countless things I saw on the internet, and still , it does not seem to work.

Below is a snippet i used, to display data from the REST api to the application :

      <View>
    {isLoading ? <ActivityIndicator/> : <FlatList 
      style={{fontFamily: 'Poppins-Medium', top: 170, left: 23}}
      ItemSeparatorComponent={this.FlatListItemSeparator}
      data={transaction_details}
      renderItem={({item}) => (
        <View style={{paddingTop: 20,flexDirection: 'row', height: 75}}>
          <Image source={{uri: item.avatar}} style={{width:50, height:50, borderRadius:25,overflow:'hidden'}}/>
          <Text style={styles.PayeeName}>{item.name}{"   "}</Text>
          <Text style={styles.date_ofTransaction}>{item.date}</Text>
          <Text style={styles.amountValue}>{item.amount}</Text>
        </View>
      )}
      keyExtractor={(item) => item.id .toString()}
      scrollEnabled={true}
    />}

  </View>

Looking over, i saw something like View style={{flex:1}} should I have to try this, the whole thing disappears speedily. I dont know what else I have to try hence, this.

I need help with this. Thank you!

New Edits

done the edit you asked me to, now there are still some spaces there. Do not know how they came about,

I looks like this now so far

Here is the new Source code

import React, {useEffect, useState} from 'react';
import {
  ActivityIndicator,
  Image,
  ImageBackground,
  SafeAreaView,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
} from 'react-native';
import {Header, Avatar, Icon, Card} from '@rneui/themed';
import {FlatList, ScrollView} from 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import {Tab} from '@rneui/base';


const HomePage = () => {
  const [transaction_details, setTransaction_details] = useState([]);
  const[isLoading,setLoading] = useState(true);

  const Item = ({title}) => (
    <View style={styles.item}>
      <Text style={styles.title}>{title}</Text>
    </View>
  );

  FlatListItemSeparator = () => {
    return (
      <View
        style={{
          height: 1,
          width: 350,
          backgroundColor: '#D3D3D3',
        }}
      />
    );
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('https://brotherlike-navies.000webhostapp.com/people/people.php', {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        Accept: 'application/json',
        'Content-type': 'application/json',
      },
    })
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(responseJson => {
        setTransaction_details(responseJson);
        setLoading(false);
      });
  }, []);

CodePudding user response：

Method 1

It does not scroll because your view is restricting it. Try replacing view with <></> (Fragments).

Method 2

The other way of solving this is adding flex 1 in view container, it disappears because its parent also needs to be set to flex. So find all parents that have view in it and add flex 1 in them Then it will work
