React-native-gesture-handler: Swipeable does not work on Android on RN 0.59.8

[pani7]

Hi, i am using gesture-handler with react-native-navigation and i followed setup for linking with that library by adding to MainApplication.java:

-imported -import com.swmansion.gesturehandler.react.RNGestureHandlerPackage;;

• added - new RNGestureHandlerPackage()

In app i wrapped screen like this:

Navigation.registerComponent( screens.RESERVATIONS, () => props => ( <Provider store={store}> <ReservationsScreen {...props} /> </Provider> ), () => gestureHandlerRootHOC(ReservationsScreen) );

However swipeable does not work on android. It builds without errors, works on IOS but android does not respond to swipes. What am i doing wrong?

Maybe you miss these instructions for create root view on android : https://kmagiera.github.io/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/getting-started.html#android

We do also have this problem, working on IOS, build without error and screen is ok on Android, but gestures don't work

I'm also having the issue of Swipeable not working on Android but only when it's inside a ScrollView inside a Modal. I did follow the instructions pointed to by Aure77 but only the standard instructions as I wasn't sure if "one of the native navigation libraries" referred to includes react-navigation, and what to do if it does (as it only shows instructions for the wix navigator). I'm on RN 0.59.10 and RNGH 1.3.0.
