WIP: react-native-gesture-handler

[davidgovea]

Another staple react-native plugin -

This is a WIP -- it can't be merged as-is until this issue is resolved: electrode-io/electrode-native#1060 because it uses relaceInFile on Android (currently not supported)

RN-gesture-handler has a slightly involved installation process:

Update your MainActivity.java file (or wherever you create an instance of ReactActivityDelegate)

In our case, that means adding the edited createRootView to ElectrodeReactActivityDelegate.java

2 replacements are made:

1. Adding the RNGestureHandlerEnabledRootView import
2. @Overrideing the createRootView method:
   • The search uses a brittle matcher to find the end of the class: <four spaces>}\n}, which depends on code style/indentation. Not great..

We've been using this config for a few months (using a patched version of 0.30.x -- see info in the linked issue) -- I figured I'd at least get it up here to start a discussion.

Thank you!

Sorry for slight delay, I'll have a look tomorrow (Wednesday) to this PR and associated Electrode Native issue.

Sounds great! I updated the POC code and added a PR for discussion: electrode-io/electrode-native#1197

Wouldn't use the word 'delay' 😆 -- it feels like there are multiple full-time maintainers here! Thanks for being so prompt & communicative.
