Does anyone has the crash problem on Android. Here is my error log:

This could be the same Android ViewPager issue. The proposed way is to override onInterceptTouchEvent to catch the exception.

@xzdev I get the same crash :( Did you fix this?

[alwx]

@xzdev @vandervidi need to see your code to understand the problem.

me too, any solution?

I found this: https://github.com/chrisbanes/PhotoView/issues/293

But I'm not sure how to apply, pretty new to react-native here...

EDIT: probably related to this too: https://github.com/alwx/react-native-photo-view/issues/22 but again, I'm not sure how to apply, it seems to suggest using another component

EDIT2: Figured out the exception was due to bug inside android api and the common accepted workaround was to surround onInterceptTouchEvent with try-catch block. A couple of pull-requests on react-native code base has been done, but none has been accepted yet. Current solution might need to fork the react-native code base, apply the fix, and rebuild.

See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/143448308, they won't fix it. ViewPager (1) is now also deprecated so move to ViewPager2.
