Problem:
I have a ScrollView with 2 subviews and I want the first of them (lets call it ViewA) to have {flex: 1} so the other one (ViewB) will stick to the bottom of the screen – but only if their total height is smaller that the screen. Of course that if they are higher than the screen I want it to scroll as usual.
Case 1 (GOOD): ViewA with long text, ViewB scrolls with it. https://rnplay.org/apps/slCivA
Case 2 (BAD): ViewA with short text, ViewB doesn't stick to the bottom. https://rnplay.org/apps/OmQakQ
Tried Solution:
So I set the ScrollView's style AND contentContainerStyle to be flex: 1. I
Also set ViewA's style to flex:1. But when I do it, the ScrollView's contentContainer view is fixed to the screen height, thus not able to scroll if needed and even worse – ViewB overlaps ViewA.
Case 3 (BAD): ViewB sticks to the bottom, but the whole thing doesn't scroll. https://rnplay.org/apps/wZgtWA
If it's a bug – how to fix/workaround it?
If it's the expected behaviour – how can I achieve what I've described?
Thanks.

Try feeding
{flexGrow: 1}to the contentContainerStyle prop instead
