[@nativescript/datetimepicker] Exception on Android with NS7 and v2.0.4 about plugins

Same here with same exact conditions, my error is:

Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.content.res.Resources android.content.Context.getResources()' on a null object reference

Closing for now. I believe this is fixed. Currently with NS8x on Android I've not encountered this with the following code which is taken from a production app where the tap event is on a textfield that ends up showing the picker. We can reopen if still experiencing.

import { DateTimePicker, DateTimePickerStyle } from '@nativescript/datetimepicker';
import { Application, Button } from '@nativescript/core';

export function someButtonTapToOpenThePicker(args) {
	const dateTimePickerStyle = DateTimePickerStyle.create(args.object as any);

    // This example handles styling the calendar for light and dark mode of the device settings
	if (Application.systemAppearance() === 'dark') {
      // style for dark mode
      dateTimePickerStyle.buttonsBackgroundColor = new Color('#202125');
      dateTimePickerStyle.dialogBackgroundColor = new Color('#202125');
      dateTimePickerStyle.titleTextColor = new Color('#fff');
      dateTimePickerStyle.buttonsTextColor = new Color('#0067a6');
      dateTimePickerStyle.spinnersBackgroundColor = new Color('#202125');
      dateTimePickerStyle.spinnersTextColor = new Color('#fff');
    } else {
      // style for light mode
      dateTimePickerStyle.buttonsBackgroundColor = new Color('#fff');
      dateTimePickerStyle.dialogBackgroundColor = new Color('#fff');
      dateTimePickerStyle.titleTextColor = new Color('#0067a6');
      dateTimePickerStyle.buttonsTextColor = new Color('#0067a6');
      dateTimePickerStyle.spinnersBackgroundColor = new Color('#fff');
      dateTimePickerStyle.spinnersTextColor = new Color('#0067a6');
    }

     DateTimePicker.pickDate(
      {
        context: (args.object as Button)._context,
        date: yourDateValue
        minDate: subYears(new Date(), 10),
        maxDate: new Date(),
        title: 'DatePicker'
        okButtonText: 'Okay',
        cancelButtonText: 'Cancel',
        locale: 'en'
      },
      dateTimePickerStyle
    ).then((result) => {
        // handle the result
    })
}
