Hi guys! This is my first post, so I would like to thank every thunker for all the information you guys have shared. I am trying to solve a problem for my Chat APP, but I couldn’t find a solution in Thunkable X.
Problem: whenever a user enters the chat screen with another user or send/receive a new msg, (s)he has to scroll down manually in order to check the newest messages. I’m looking for a way to scroll the chat column automatically, through a command in blocks or with any advanced property. My problem is exactly the one reported in the following topic, but the answers were based on an extension for vertical scrolling:
However, this seems to be an unsolved puzzle in Thunkable X. @domhnallohanlon himself have not found a solution for it.
I thought about your first suggestion, and I actually think this would be a great work around, and inverting the “whats app/facebook/instagram” logic would be fantastic. Unfortunately, my co-wokers dont think so, since some end-users might find it confusing.
Edit: I made a request in github page for a new feature that would give us control over the initial position of scroll.
As in whatsapp you can notify the users when he recieved a new message and yes the user would have to scroll down manually but I think the users won’t stop using the app cuz of this maybe you can do this until thunkable released this featured
