Android: View.getParent() on a null object reference

[StevenMasini]

Hi @prscX

I found out a crash on Android when the reference props provided on the javascript side has not been acknowledged yet by react native.

In react native, references to component are only known after the first call to the render method.

On Android when final ViewGroup target = activity.findViewById(view); receive an non-existent id, target will then be null. Of course null object don't have access to the method getParent and will trigger an exception.

On iOS I suppose that's not an issue as the method presentFromView might be protected from receiving Nil.

I will submit a Pull Request that fix this issue for Android.
