AutoGrowTextInput inside ScrollView about react-native-autogrow-textinput

This behavior is not specific for this package.

AutoGrowTextInput is just a multi-line TextInput. Multi-line TextInput has an inner scroll container.

Using a ScrollView within a ScrollView is a problematic layout when they are both scrolling in the same direction.

One possible solution would be to let theAutoGrowTextInput extend its height indefinitely by setting the maxHeight prop to a really large number. I think that this way it won't have an inner scroll because then it will take the actual height and make the scroll content larger as well.
Another option could be to disable scrolling when necessary.

Maanged to disable the scroll by commenting the android specific code in onContentChange()
Now scroll is disabled in textinput and works properly .Thanks for the awseome lib.

_onContentSizeChange(event) {
  /*  if(ANDROID_PLATFORM) {
     if(!this.state.androidFirstContentSizeChange) {
       return;
     }
     this.setState({androidFirstContentSizeChange: false});
   } */
   this._handleNativeEvent(event.nativeEvent);

   if (this.props.onContentSizeChange) {
     this.props.onContentSizeChange(event);
   }
 }

@VictorVarghese thanks!

This code is there to fix a very specific bug on Android (see the comment above the _onContentSizeChange method). It's possible that this was fixed in more advanced RN versions that came after this fix was applied.

That said, I don't see how this help to disable scrolling. what's the idea here?
