App crash when tapping DatePicker on Android 8.1

[nateblog]

The app crash when tapping the DatePicker on Android 8.1 version, it works fine on lower versions.

Using:

"react-native": "0.54.0", "react-native-datepicker": "1.7.0",

I do not know how to go about fixing this.

I manage to fix the crash by changing the function getDate()

TO:

getDate(date = this.props.date) {
    const {mode, minDate, maxDate, format = FORMATS[mode]} = this.props;

    // date默认值
    if (!date) {
      let now = new Date();
      if (minDate) {
        let _minDate = this.getDate(minDate);

        if (now < _minDate) {
          return new Date(_minDate);
        }
      }

      if (maxDate) {
        let _maxDate = this.getDate(maxDate);

        if (now > _maxDate) {
          return new Date(_maxDate);
        }
      }

      return now;
    }

    if (date instanceof Date) {
      return new Date(date);
    }

    return Moment(new Date(date), format).toDate();
  }

for some reason the returned date needs to be wrapped in new Date();

Is there a decent way to sort this out?

@nateblog solution worked for me

Hello, solution for people who landed here if your app crashes on tapping on the date-picker

• The minDate and maxDate value should always be a date object for example: Tue Jul 09 2019 17:42:54 GMT+0900 (India Time Zone), if you use plain JS use new Date() if you use moment use moment().toDate()
• If you supply both minDate and maxDate make sure that the maxDate is not lesser than minDate

The above two are the main reasons to make your app crash, apart from that you can use any format you want to display your date in the component using the format props, doesn't matter whether you have dash/hyphen.

this solved my issue

although this is from another package, the issue is the same.

Basically you have to display an empty text component over the datepicker. This blocks user from touching the whitespaces
