The [`ScrollView`](/react-native/docs/scrollview.html) is a generic scrolling container that can host multiple components and views. The scrollable items need not be homogenous, and you can scroll both vertically and horizontally (by setting the `horizontal` property).
This example creates a vertical `ScrollView` with both images and text mixed together.
```ReactNativeWebPlayer
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import{ AppRegistry, ScrollView, Image, Text, View } from 'react-native'
class IScrolledDownAndWhatHappenedNextShockedMe extends Component {
`ScrollView` works best to present a small amount of things of a limited size. All the elements and views of a `ScrollView` are rendered, even if they are not currently shown on the screen. If you have a long list of more items that can fit on the screen, you should use a `ListView` instead. So let's [learn about the ListView](/react-native/docs/using-a-listview.html) next.
