Stop PanResponder during move gesture

TL;DR

I want to stop the PanResponder system while it’s still moving (within onPanResponderMove callback).

Explanation

I’ve created a basic code where pan responder is used to drag an element around. Now I want the pan responder to stop the event, and trigger some other animation, if a certain condition has been met while dragging.

I use the following code:

let panMover = Animated.event([null,{
	dy : this.state.animatedY,
}]);
this.panResponder = PanResponder.create({
	onPanResponderTerminationRequest: () => false,
	onStartShouldSetPanResponder : () => true,
	onPanResponderMove: (e, gesture) => {
		if( /* certain condition has been met */ ) {
			// 1. stop the pan responder
			// 2. start some other animation
			return false;
		}
		return panMover(e, gesture);
	},
	onPanResponderRelease : (e, gesture) => true,
});

Returning false momentarily stops the responder and creates a jittery effect when paired with some new animation. I want to completely terminate the responder. I’m looking for some API like panResponder.terminate();

Any help would be appreciated.
