ReactSwipeRefreshLayout cannot be cast

[geo-vi]

An interesting issue popped up today while using 0.0.5 version

[geo-vi]

The workaround this was:

    componentDidMount() {
        this.setState({visibleRefreshControl: true})
    }

    render() {
        const { visibleRefreshControl } = this.state;

        return (<FlatList
            //...
            refreshControl={visibleRefreshControl ? refreshControl : null}
        />);
    }

Pretty interestingly what happens is actually findNodeHandle provided by react-native gets the RefreshControl node and attempts to cast it :? Pretty strange one indeed

After some fine digging I found out a lot cleaner way of doing stuff

• const viewTag = flRef.current.getScrollableNode(); instead of findNodeHandle(flRef.current);

Reason for that change is basically it guarantees to retrieve always the correct scrolling ref and not some of the outer ones.

I'll do a PR with this change

@geo-vi thanks alot for investigating this. I will be able to look into this after wednesday. Will get back :)

I can see that you raised a PR as well, could you please sync with latest main branch? Some major changes were introduced as part of latest release.
