How to extend image across width of screen? - ios

Question

I am attempting to make the images scroll horizontally. I downloaded some UI, and added ScrollView horizontal. But instead of it looking the same just with the ability to scroll horizontally, it shrank the image (and also gave it the ability to scroll horizontally). What should I change to make it stretch all the way across (still with the padding)?
Posts.js
import React from "react";
import {
View,
Text,
Image,
ImagBackground,
ImageBackground,
} from "react-native";
import Icon from "#expo/vector-icons/Entypo";
import { ScrollView, TouchableOpacity } from "react-native-gesture-handler";
export default class Posts extends React.Component {
state = {
liked: false,
};
onLike = () => {
this.setState({ liked: !this.state.liked });
};
render() {
const { name, profile, photo, onPress } = this.props;
return (
<View>
<View
style={{
flexDirection: "row",
paddingTop: 25,
alignItems: "center",
}}
>
<View style={{ width: "20%" }}>
<Image
source={profile}
style={{
width: 45,
height: 45,
borderRadius: 13,
}}
/>
</View>
<View
style={{
width: "60%",

marginLeft: 10,
marginRight: 20,
}}

<Icon
name={
this.state.liked === true ? "heart" : "heart-outlined"
}
color={this.state.liked === true ? "red" : "#044244"}
size={20}
/>
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</ImageBackground>
</ScrollView>
</View>
</View>
);
}
}
Here's me adding more words because the post doesn't have enough words on it's own. When will they finally remove this pointless feature? I feel as if I clearly expressed my question with the few words I used.

Answer 1

I believe your issue is with your View wrapping your ScrollView. There is no need of wrapping ScrollView, that too in row, due to which the remaining space is visible. Just define the ScrollView, and it would work just fine. Give a width of 100% to your ScrollView though.
For any sort of styling to the parent for the ScrollView, do it inside the ScrollView itself, like the way I did in the code.
Please note ScrollView accepts a list of child items, currently I see only a single item, if you've intentionally added this one, then it is fine, else, you need to refactor your code surely. This won't work out for you.
// PLEASE NOTE --> Commented Lines should be removed, and
// only ScrollView should be considered with the styling specified
