ReactNative - How to get activity instance starting from version 0.29

Question

I am writing my own ViewManager which does need to get activity instance. Before version 0.29 it was straight forward, but after [email protected] breaking changes I can't find a way to do it.

Thank you.

Next React Native version will have the reactContext.getCurrentActivity() method exposed publicly rather than just being available when extending ReactContextBaseJavaModule.

Update: I've just confirmed that this change will be cherry-picked into 0.31 and will land in few days.
