TypeError: expected dynamic type double', but had type null' (constructing arguments for UiManager.dispatchViewManagerCommand at argument index 0)

[mikhail709]

Hi. I try to implement simple LoginScreen with two input fields, LogIn button and Forgot password button. Navigation between the screens is implemented with the help of "react-navigation": "1.0.0-beta.11". So, when I click on Forgot password at my LoginScreen and then turn back to the LoginScreen and then click on any of the input fields - TypeError: expected dynamic type double', but had type null' (constructing arguments for UiManager.dispatchViewManagerCommand at argument index 0) appears.
It seems that findNodeHandle returns null. But how to fix this issue??

React Native version: 0.44
React version: 16.0.0-alpha.6
Platform: Android

LoginScreen render method:

render() {
    const passInputContainerStyle = this.state.passwordError === I18n.t('error.password.invalid')
      ? styles.inputContainerLarge : styles.inputContainer;
    if (this.props.isLoggedIn) {
      Keyboard.dismiss();
      NavigationUtils.navigateTo(this.props.navigation, 'Settings');
    }
    let errorGuy = this.verifyInputFieldsErrors();
    return (
      <DismissKeyboardView style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.mainContainer}>
          <View style={styles.logoContainer}>
            <Image
              style={styles.logo}
              source={images.logo} />
          </View>
          <View style={styles.inputContainer}>
            <EditTextWithError
              hint={I18n.t('hint.email')}
              errorMsg={errorGuy.emailErrorMessage}
              errorMsgVisibility={errorGuy.emailErrorVisibility}
              keyboardType='email-address'
              eyeVisibility={false}
              eyeHidePassModeEnabled={false}
              isNextMode={true}
              nextRef={this.state.refNextInput}
              onEndEditing={() => this.onEndEditingEmail()}
              onTextChanged={(text) => this.onEmailTextChanged(text)} />
          </View>
          <View style={passInputContainerStyle}>
            <EditTextWithError
              hint={I18n.t('hint.password.common')}
              errorMsg={errorGuy.passwordErrorMessage}
              errorMsgVisibility={errorGuy.passwordErrorVisibility}
              eyeVisibility={true}
              eyeHidePassModeEnabled={true}
              isNextMode={false}
              ref={(input) => this.passInput = input}
              onEndEditing={() => this.onEndEditingPassword()}
              onTextChanged={(text) => this.onPasswordTextChanged(text)} />
          </View>
          <TouchableOpacity style={styles.btnContainer} onPress={() => this.onLogInPressed()}>
            <Text style={styles.btnText}>{I18n.t('login.btnLogIn')}</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
          <TouchableOpacity style={styles.fupContainer} onPress={() => this.onForgotPasswordPressed()}>
            <Text style={styles.fupText}>{I18n.t('login.forgotPass')}</Text>
          </TouchableOpacity>
          {this.renderFooter()}
        </View>
      </DismissKeyboardView>
    );
  }`

Ok, I'm sure StackOverflow is amazing for Q&A. But still it is TextInput issue! As any other components stay ok

In my case the issue was in react-native-elements it throws the native error

TypeError: expected dynamic type `double', but had type `null' 
(constructing arguments for UiManager.dispatchViewManagerCommand at argument index 0)
