TypeError: Cannot read property '_currentElement' of null

_container is not set at the time of the call... Using react-native-smart-scroll-view 1.3.5 and RN 0.24.1

@nikhilaravi I also encountered this error. May I know how can I fix it? Thanks

i noticed this error when using functions as component, resolved it by going back to using components that extend from component.

@pietgk thanks for the note - do you mean functional components? That could be an issue as according to the React spec

Since no component instance is created for a functional component, any ref added to one will evaluate > to null.

and _container is added as a ref.

@idajimenez did you manage to resolve the issue?

I changed from this component to react-native-keyboard-aware-scroll-view
its simpler and does enough for me.
