No scrollTo method provided. This may be because you have two nested VirtualizedLists with the same orientation, or because you are using a custom component that does not implement scrollTo.

Description

Cannot programmatically scroll nested SectionList inside SectionList.

What I'm trying to accomplish is a horizontal bar with categories that will be stickied to the top of the screen, this requires a SectionList. Below it is another SectionList and for this, I render it inside renderItem. If I press on a category in the horizontal bar, it should scroll the nested SectionList so that the category will be view.

I've tried many different implementations, such as wrapping the nested SectionList with a horizontal ScrollView.

Hey any soln ?

Nope. Need to reconsider your implementation or just let the error happen if it doesn't interfere with UI/UX.

I got the same error when Flatlist nested under VirtualizedList.

RN: 0.69.6

A.tsx

function ComponentA = () => {
  return <VirtualizedList ... />
}

B.tsx

function ComponentB = () => {
  const ref = useRef<FlatList>(null)
  
  useEffect(() => {
    // got 'No scrollTo method provided' warning here
    ref.current?.scrollToOffset({ offset: 100, animated: false })
  }, [])
  
  return (
    <View>
      <FlatList ref={ref} ... />
    </View>
  )
}
