[chrisglein]

Problem Description

This was implemented in old architecture: #7554
But there doesn't seem to be support in the new arch.
Note that this scenario was not covered by the Paper Gallery.

Steps To Reproduce

import {View, ScrollView, Text, Pressable} from 'react-native';

const App = () => {
  return (
      <View style={{flex: 1}}>
        {/* Static header section at the top of the screen */}
        <View
          style={{
            height: 50,
            width: '100%',
            paddingTop: 15,
            alignItems: 'center',
            justifyContent: 'center',
            backgroundColor: 'lightgray',
          }}>
          <Text>Header</Text>
        </View>

        <View style={{flex: 1}}>
          {/* Scrollable content with a sticky section */}
          <ScrollView stickyHeaderIndices={[1]}>
            {/* First scrollable content section */}
            <View
              style={{
                backgroundColor: 'gray',
                alignItems: 'center',
                paddingVertical: 10,
                paddingHorizontal: 20,
              }}>
              <Text>
                Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting
                industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy
                text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley
                of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
              </Text>
            </View>

            {/* Sticky section: remains visible at the top during scroll */}
            <View
              style={{
                backgroundColor: '#f93',
                height: 50,
                width: '100%',
                paddingVertical: 17,
                justifyContent: 'center',
                alignItems: 'center',
              }}>
              <Text style={{color: 'white', textTransform: 'uppercase'}}>
                Sticky section
              </Text>
            </View>

            {/* Second scrollable content section */}
            <View style={{padding: 20, gap: 10}}>
              {[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].map((item) =>
                <Pressable key={item}>
                  <Text>
                    {/* Placeholder content for demonstration */}
                    Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting
                    industry. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the
                    leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially
                    unchanged.
                  </Text>
                </Pressable>
              )}
            </View>
          </ScrollView>
        </View>
      </View>
  );
};

export default App;
