DateTimePicker stops working when you unmount the component about react-native-modal-datetime-picker HOT 7 CLOSED

Hello!
What version of React-Native are you using? Are you using Expo?

What component are you unmounting?

Also, in my opinion, you should not unmount any component that interacts with the DateTimePicker while it is still visible (just put it in an outer component).

@mmazzarolo hello!

react-native version: react-native": "0.44.0"
I'm not using expo.

I'm taking apart the code of the component above it would be TaskCardPending;

I tested it too and the error runs. Occurs inside the disassembled component or inside a container component.

I'm sorry but I still can't understand when the issue happens.
Could you share a repo/snippet for reproducing it?

The snippet you posted above is not clear enough to me.

Thanks!

@mmazzarolo I'll make an example with the error occurring and post here to help identify the error.

I believe I'm having the same issue. When the component unmounts or setState is called while the date picker is visible on screen, it dissociates events from it and is stuck overtop of react native. I.e. the date picker sits on top of react native unresponsive to clicks on either confirm or cancel while the rest of react native is operable beneath it. No amount of full on refreshes will help resolve this, app has to be fully closed and reopened.
