Description

Hi, I notice that the carrousel is flickering in Android(last image to first one) when in onSnapToItem function the state has changed.
Like: onSnapToItem={(index) => {
this.setState({activeDotIndex: index});
}}
Similar issue like this pull request should be fix : https://github.com/meliorence/react-native-snap-carousel/pull/368

Please take a look.

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the Android carousel flicker when onSnapToItem calls setState, then compare the behavior and proposed approach in pull request #368. Done means the transition from the last item to the first no longer flickers while the callback updates state.
