hey, sorry for the late reply...
i think it's difficult to add tests here, because this is basically an iOS specific feature. With jest/enzyme we can only test in a mocked environment.
I added a dummy test, that reflects a test for this functionality, but this will not work in a web environnment
| @lfkwtz just found a reliable way to measure the actual modal height, without the need to hardcode it. Let me know what you think and if everything works for you 👍 |
| looking good - able to close that coverage gap? |
Not sure how, if were not able to test this lib natively on iOS... Do you have an idea?� |
| @lfkwtz do you think we can merge this? Absolutely no priority though.. |
i currently do not have access to merge until all checks are passed. so we'll have to work through that first. |
| I'm gonna try to continue working on the tests if i get the chance any time soon... |
| looks like the team at lawnstarter is starting to work on this a bit more so maybe they will be able to help you get this in cc @alberto-mourao-lawnstarter |
ah awesome! Yea, if they could help me with fixing/setting up these tests, that would be great! thanks |
| gonna resolve merge conflicts soon |

Problem
When the picker gets opened, the
<ScrollView />which contains the<RNPickerSelect />isn't responding to the modal opening.Since using the picker should feel like using keyboard, we need to have some logic to directly scroll to the location of the
<TextInput />in the containing<ScrollView />.Solution
I added the code needed, to allow this kind of functionality. There are two props needed:
scrollViewRef: A ref to the containing<ScrollView />component, so we can manuall call.scrollTo()scrollViewContentOffsetY: the current scrolling offset, which can be retrieved by using theonScrollcallback on the<ScrollView />(Lmk if you have a solution, that requires less props or is easier)
This is completely optional, so if these 2 props are not provided, the behaviour of this picker library won't change

Hope this PR brings some useful functionality.
