Android app crashes due to the exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: pointerIndex out of range

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

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

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

me too, any solution?

I found this:
Baseflow/PhotoView#293

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

EDIT:
probably related to this too:
#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.
