How are "present" and "dismiss" methods are intended to be used with BottomSheetModals?

Hello,

So I'm using 2 modals on my screen, and I need to jump from one to the other and vice versa. After reading the documentation, at first I used the dismiss() method on the ref of the currently active modal, and present() on the next modal to switch, which worked, but once I dismissed the modal, I couldn't go back to it (same with close()), present doesn't work on those anymore.

The way it works for me is just calling present() on the modal I want to open, without dismissing. Is this the intended behaviour?

My second issue that is kind of related: When the user was on #1 snap point, went to the second modal, then went back to the first with calling present(), the first modal would be on #0 snap point. I couldn't find a way to present the modal on #1 snap point instead of the default index. (please note in every other scenario my default has to be #0 snap point, but in this specific case I want it to open at #1. Is that currently implemented?

I tried to use snapTo(1) after calling present() which only worked with a timeout, but it doesn't look good.

TLDR for the second: Can you call present() on a modal and animate it to a given snap index fluidly?

you do not need to dismiss the first modal, the library already handle that for you

 present the first modal     ->     present the second modal     ->     dismiss the second modal
                                            |                                        |
                                   first modal will get minimise         first modal will be restored

you can set index prop and when you call present it will animate to the provided index snap point

Thanks. Tried this already but for some reason present doesn't work on neither of the modals once I dismiss them (or when the library dismisses them automatically).

ahh ,,could you provide a reproducible sample code ? preferable from /examples folder

[krakz999]

So this is the issue I'm having with just using present() to let the library handle the modals automatically, and I'm able to reproduce it in the example project as well.

I have screen "A" and screen "B". I present() screen B from screen A, then I present() screen A from screen B to go back, after a while it stops working.

So what I'm trying to achieve is basically a list screen (screen A) and a details screen (screen B) but navigating between them breaks after a while.

Using the latest v2 of the package.

I've pushed a fix for the stuck modal issue as part of this PR: #337

[gorhom]

there is already pr , which refactor the modal handling #327

[gorhom]

this should be fixed with v2.2.4, feel free to reopen this issue if it still not fixed
