React-native-gesture-handler: Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/util/Pools$SynchronizedPool

[rochapablo]

I'm working with react-navigation and before the following code, It was all working. So I had fix a small detail where when I "click" outside the drawer it would close it self. To do so, I found https://stackoverflow.com/a/53396072/1958882, which works pretty well in another project running with "react-native": "0.59.5". But now, in a newest project running "react-native": "0.59.9", it crashes when I "click" outside the drawer.

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivityDelegate;
import com.facebook.react.ReactRootView;
import com.swmansion.gesturehandler.react.RNGestureHandlerEnabledRootView;

@Override
protected ReactActivityDelegate createReactActivityDelegate() {
    return new ReactActivityDelegate(this, getMainComponentName()) {
        @Override
        protected ReactRootView createRootView() {
            return new RNGestureHandlerEnabledRootView(MainActivity.this);
        }
    };
}

the error

Solution migrate react-native-gesture-handler to android x too.

[Tahmeed156]

@joegichuru Can you explain how you did that?

[wimva]

This PR fixes it, you can use that one for now: https://github.com/kmagiera/react-native-gesture-handler/pull/650

用import androidx.core.util.Pools;
替代import android.support.v4.util.Pools;

[jakub-gonet]

We migrated to androidx some time ago, I think this is outdated.
