Shift problem

Text width of event time may not be the same.

fix by add 'minWidth' in 'timeContainerStyle' to appropriate value

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          timeContainerStyle={{minWidth:72}}
        />
    )
}

Timeline is rendered, but not displayed until scroll

fix by add removeClippedSubviews: false into options

render(){
    return(
        <Timeline
          //..other props
          options={{
            removeClippedSubviews: false
          }}
        />
    )
}
