How to "AutoPlay" carousel items

[ryanzaatari]

I can't seem to find a way to get the carousel to autoPlay, is there a property for that ?

Yeah this only works on iOS, use property autoPagingInterval. It has to be higher than 0 in order to work.

Thank you @manijak, so there's no way to get this working on Android as well ?

Maybe in the future. Currently we are focused on porting the plugin to NS v3.x

@ryanzaatari I do it something like this, for Android

export function carouselLoaded(args) {
    const carousel = args.object;
    if (carousel.android) {
        carousel.intervalAndroid = setInterval(() => {
            carousel.selectedPage =
                (carousel.selectedPage + 1) %
                carousel.bindingContext.items.length;
        }, 5000);
    }
}

export function carouselUnloaded(args) {
    const carousel = args.object;
    if (carousel.android) {
        clearInterval(carousel.intervalAndroid);
    }
}
