Implementing Sticky Tabs Effect in HarmonyOS ArkTS

#harmonyos

I. Core Implementation Principles

Achieving the sticky header effect through dual-level scroll nesting:

  1. Outer Scroll container hosting top banners and tab area

  2. Inner Tabs component bound with List for content scrolling

  3. Utilizing nestedScroll property for scroll linkage control

// Key component structure Scroll() { Column() { Banner() // Top banner Tabs({ controller: this.tabsController, barPosition: BarPosition.Start, nestedScroll: { scrollForward: NestedScrollMode.PARENT_FIRST } }) { TabContent() { List() { // Content items } } } } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Implementation reference: *

II. Implementation Steps

1. Layout Construction 

@Entry @Component struct StickyTabs { @State currentIndex: number = 0 private tabsController = new TabsController() build() { Scroll() { Column() { // Top banner Stack({ alignContent: Alignment.Top }) { Image("banner_bg.png") .width("100%") .height(200) .objectFit(ImageFit.Cover) } // Sticky tabs Tabs() { TabContent() { List() { ForEach(this.tabsData, (item) => { ListItem().text(item.title) }) } } } } } } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Layout pattern inspired by *

2. Scroll Monitoring 

@State scrollY: number = 0 private onScroll = (event: ScrollEvent) => { this.scrollY = event.contentOffset.y this.updateStickyState() } // Sticky state determination private updateStickyState() { if (this.scrollY > 150) { // Banner height threshold this.tabsController.setSticky(true) } else { this.tabsController.setSticky(false) } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Scroll position detection method from *

3. Style Configuration 

.tabs { .height(56) .backgroundColor(Color.White) .elevation(4) .sticky(StickyStyle.Header) // Core sticky property .scrollBar(BarState.Off) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Style implementation reference: *

4. Interaction Coordination 

// Tab click navigation private handleTabChange(index: number) { this.tabsController.changeIndex(index) this.listScroller.scrollToIndex(index * 10) // Page calculation } // List scroll synchronization private onListScroll = (event: ScrollEvent) => { const topItem = this.listRef.getScrollOffset() this.tabsController.setActiveTab( Math.floor(topItem / 100) // Position mapping ) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Interaction logic from *

5. Performance Optimization 

// Virtual scroll implementation List() { .virtualScroll({ bufferSize: 5, itemHeight: 80 }) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

*Optimization pattern from *

III. Key Considerations

  1. ​Nested Scroll Limits​
    Avoid exceeding 3 scroll container nesting levels to prevent performance degradation

  2. ​Edge Effect Conflicts​
    Set edgeEffect: EdgeEffect.None for inner lists to prevent scroll conflicts

  3. ​Style Consistency​
    Maintain exact height consistency between tab components and CSS definitions

  4. ​Event Throttling​
    Implement @throttle(200) decorator for scroll listeners

  5. ​Dynamic Data Handling​
    Call tabsController.refreshLayout() after data updates

IV. Application Scenarios

Scenario Type Implementation Key Considerations
E-commerce Category headers Banner-tab height binding
News Channels Multi-level tabs Dynamic height calculation
Social Feeds Variable content Virtual scroll + position tracking

V. Debugging Techniques

  1. ​Heatmap Visualization​
    Enable Layout Inspector's Show Touch Region option

  2. ​Scroll Logging​

 Scroll() { .onScroll((e) => { console.log(`[${new Date()}] Scroll position: ${e.contentOffset.y}`) }) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. ​Performance Metrics​ Utilize PerformanceMonitor for FPS and memory tracking

VI. Extended Implementation 

@Entry @Component struct AdvancedStickyTabs { @State currentIndex: number = 0 private tabsController = new TabsController() private listData = Array.from({length: 100}, (_,i)=>`Item ${i+1}`) build() { Scroll() { Column() { // Dynamic banner Stack({ alignContent: Alignment.Top }) { Image("banner.png") .onScrollOffset((y) => { this.tabsController.setSticky(y > 150) }) } // Sticky tabs with animations Tabs() { TabContent() { List() { ForEach(this.listData, (item) => { ListItem() .height(80) .onClick(() => this.handleItemClick()) }) } .nestedScroll({ scrollForward: NestedScrollMode.PARENT_FIRST }) } } } } } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

VII. Optimization Directions

  1. ​Dynamic Height Adjustment​ Auto-calculate tab height using layout callbacks: 
 onInit() { this.tabsController.onLayoutChanged((rect) => { this.tabHeight = rect.height }) }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. ​Smooth Transitions​ Implement sticky animation: 
 .onStickyStateChanged((isSticky) => { animateTo({ duration: 200, animation: Animation.Spring, }) })
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This implementation leverages HarmonyOS's native scroll coordination mechanisms while maintaining performance efficiency through virtual scrolling and optimized event handling. The solution effectively combines parent/child scroll interactions with dynamic layout adjustments to achieve professional-grade sticky header effects.
