Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Android - Copy icon is missing in Profile/Contact method

What is the root cause of that problem?

I suspect this behavior is unique to Android and is caused by nesting a View inside a Text component, as is done so here in CopyTextToClipboard.js.

App/src/components/CopyTextToClipboard.js

Lines 56 to 71 in c144663

	<Text
	onPress={this.copyToClipboard}
	style={[styles.flexRow, styles.cursorPointer]}
	suppressHighlighting
	>
	<Text style={this.props.textStyles}>{this.props.text}</Text>
	<Tooltip text={this.props.translate(`reportActionContextMenu.${this.state.showCheckmark ? 'copied' : 'copyToClipboard'}`)}>
	<Icon
	src={this.state.showCheckmark ? Expensicons.Checkmark : Expensicons.Copy}
	fill={this.state.showCheckmark ? themeColors.iconSuccessFill : themeColors.icon}
	width={variables.iconSizeSmall}
	height={variables.iconSizeSmall}
	inline
	/>
	</Tooltip>
	</Text>

The Tooltip component has a condition which renders its children whenever the device doesn't support hovering, therefore, the Icon component is rendered which wraps the svg inside a View.

App/src/components/Tooltip/index.js

Lines 145 to 149 in c144663

	// Skip the tooltip and return the children if the text is empty,
	// we don't have a render function or the device does not support hovering
	if ((_.isEmpty(this.props.text) && this.props.renderTooltipContent == null) || !this.hasHoverSupport) {
	return this.props.children;
	}

App/src/components/Icon/index.js

Lines 54 to 65 in c144663

	<View
	testID={`${this.props.src.name} Icon`}
	style={[StyleUtils.getWidthAndHeightStyle(width, height), styles.bgTransparent, styles.overflowVisible]}
	>
	<View style={iconStyles}>
	<this.props.src
	width={width}
	height={height}
	fill={this.props.fill}
	/>
	</View>
	</View>

Interestingly enough, the Copy icon isn't missing - it's rendered in the wrong place.

However, in order to see it, you'll first need to save while in the CopyTextToClipboard.js file to trigger a re-render of the component. This leverages React Native's fast refresh feature to re-render just the default-exported component, otherwise, saving in a file higher in the component hierarchy might not re-render the component of interest.

The icon even responds to click events like it's supposed to whether visible (after it's re-rendered) or invisible (current behavior when app is loaded).

To demonstrate further, I tried nesting a different View inside a Text component in ContactMethodsPage.js and got similar behavior to the current bug.

Here's the code I used.

//...
{loginMenuItems}
<View>
    <Text>
       Hello, there 
           <View>
               <Text>I'm nested in a View</Text>
           </View>
    </Text>
</View>
//...

My result after nesting a View inside a Text component

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

This looks like a bug in React Native that may or may not be related to this currently open React Native Android bug discussing nested Views in Android.

I'd suggest not including the 'copy to clipboard' icon on Android devices for the time being, however, the docs forbid contributors from writing platform-specific code, so I think it would be best to leave implementing this at the discretion of Expensify's internal team.

Opening an issue with React Native also sounded like a good idea to me.

What alternative solutions did you explore?

I noticed one of the Views wrapping the svg was absolutely positioned, so I tried to play around with left and right style values to see what I could find.

One of the things I did was add a backgroundColor and adjust height & width of both Views wrapping the svg and noticed the outermost wrapper's color i.e. red, doesn't show on Android but shows on web (presumably on the other platforms where everything is working too).

Hopefully, this provides more insight on Android's tricky behavior.

As we implemented workaround, no regression test needed for now.
We'll need full regression test after upgrading our RN version which includes this fix.
