Bug

I added a backdrop to the "Dynamic Snap Point" example and experienced flickering of the backdrop when:

  • bottom sheet is mounted
  • content height is increased

Please see the attached screen recording.

The flickering is caused by the opacity of the backdrop which is derived from animatedIndex:

opacity: interpolate(
animatedIndex.value,
[-1, disappearsOnIndex, appearsOnIndex],
[0, 0, opacity],
Extrapolate.CLAMP

When the bottom sheet is mounted, contentHeight is set to 0 and thus the animatedIndex is calculated as 1.
This initializes the backdrop with its target opacity.

When contentHeight is updated in handleOnLayout and thus the snap points change, animatedIndex drops to a value below 1 and then reaches 1. This causes a change in the backdrop's opacity which looks like it's flickering.

When contentHeight is decreased, animatedIndex stays at 1 and no flickering occurs:

Environment info

Library Version
@gorhom/bottom-sheet 3.6.4
react-native 0.64.0
react-native-reanimated 2.1.0
react-native-gesture-handler 1.9.0

Steps To Reproduce

  1. set backdropComponent={BottomSheetBackdrop}
  2. modify snap points dynamically
  3. backdrop flickers

Describe what you expected to happen:

no flickering of backdrop

Ideally, animatedIndex would not change when the snap points are modified as done here.
Maybe when the number of snap points stay the same, animatedIndex should stay constant?

Reproducible sample code

I modified the example app by adding the backdrop to the dynamic snap point example, please have a look: schiller-manuel@86b628e
