I'm new to React Native, so am probably asking something very obvious, but please help.
I have a view wrapped in a touchable, so that the whole area responds to tapping. Then have a ScrollView nested inside the view. The overall structure is something like this:
<TouchableWithoutFeedback onPress={this.handlePress.bind(this)}>
<View>
<ScrollView>
<Text>Hello, here is a very long text that needs scrolling.</Text>
<ScrollView>
</View>
</TouchableWithoutFeedback>
When this compiles and runs, the tapping is detected, but the scroll view doesn't scroll at all. I made the above code short and simple, but each component has the proper styling and I can see everything rendering fine and the long text is cutoff at the bottom of the ScrollView. Please help.
Thank you!

This is what worked for me:
The
onStartShouldSetResponder
prop stops the touch event propagation towards theTouchableWithoutFeedback
element.
