java.lang.IllegalArgumentException while dismissing the dialog box about react-native-dialogs HOT 5 OPEN

Super issue topic. Thank you!! This is definitely something to fix.

I was finally able to find the bug behind this problem. I can't exactly explain the problem but it happens when we dismiss the dialog before showing and user has closed the app. I that case, the WindowManager is not in the right state. To fix this, I have to listen to lifecycle events by having the module implement LifecycleEventListener and dismiss the dialog in onHostDestroy. I am using my own fork with extensive changes due to which I am not able to send a PR but it might help someone else running into similar problem.

I really appreciate your patient and persistant troubleshooting. When you posted there was a problem I strongly wanted to fix but I could not find out how. So the scenario described here is similar to the one described here - #94 (comment)

But its at the "dismiss level". So the scenario is same as one described above - where i call show from js, its taking 1hour to show, and in this time i hit the back button which triggers dismiss but it has not yet been shown so crash happens. Is this correct? So it never gets to the show method. So we need to detect or catch in the dismiss that it is not yet shown and throw correct?

That's what I also tried initially which is to catch the exception in dismiss and it fixed the issue and I was not seeing any abort. But since the mDialog is not null "somehow", I got a warning that we leaked a window similar to explained here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2850573/activity-has-leaked-window-that-was-originally-added. They suggested to listen on the lifecycle events and dismiss the dialog when the activity is stopped. After doing that, the abort was fixed and I was not seeing any leaked window warning either.

Hi! I'm experiencing this as well. When pressing on the backdrop of the picker it always crashes. Is there a workaround for this that I'm missing?
