Description

Is this a bug report, a feature request, or a question?

Question

I was planning on using the onSnapToItem to detect when I'm either at the end of the carrousel, or at index 0 while going back. I need to do this in order to fetch more images from the server. I basically want to make an "infinite scroll" type carrousel where more images are fetched when you're either at the end or at the beginning (when going back) of the carrousel.

  1. What would be the recommended way of showing that a fetch is happening? Is there someplace I can put an ActivityIndicator?
  2. Is there a better way to do this than using onSnapToItem?

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reading the carousel's onSnapToItem callback and the ActivityIndicator usage relevant to React Native. Determine whether the component exposes a loading presentation hook and whether another callback supports fetching at either boundary; done means the issue's two questions have a documented, actionable answer.
