Description

symptom:
supply shouldItemUpdate() and data=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, ...] to a FlatList with 3 columns
shouldItemUpdate() is called with incorrect data {index: 6, item: 9}
expect {index: 6, item:7} or {index: 8, item 9}

further investigation:
seems that in FlatList.js, _shouldItemUpdate() does not take numColumns into account when calling shouldItemUpdate()

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

obverse the values received in shouldItemUpdate()

class AppClass extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props)
        this.data = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, ] ;
   }
   shouldItemUpdate(props, nextProps) {
        // some code
    }
    render() {
        return (
            <FlatList
                {...(this.modifiedProps)}
                data={this.data}
                numColumns={3}
                shouldItemUpdate={this.shouldItemUpdate}
                renderItem={this.renderItem}>
            </FlatList>
        );
    }
}

Solution

add *numColumns in _shouldItemUpdate function seems to have solved the problem

_shouldItemUpdate = (prev, next) => {  
    const {numColumns, shouldItemUpdate} = this.props;  
    if (numColumns > 1) {  
      return prev.item.length !== next.item.length ||  
        prev.item.some((prevItem, ii) => shouldItemUpdate(  
          {item: prevItem, index: prev.index*numColumns + ii},  
          {item: next.item[ii], index: next.index*numColumns + ii},  
        ));  
    } else {  
      return shouldItemUpdate(prev, next);  
    }  
  };
