[Android] Touchables in TouchThroughView do not work

[woodpav]

Version: https://github.com/simonhoss/react-native-touch-through-view/commit/0ae415af69365785c3ff5f10901e6b606bc11348

Steps to reproduce:

1. Put a Touchable in a TouchThroughView
2. Touch the Touchable
3. No interaction on Android, interaction on iOS

Workaround:

Put multiple TouchThroughViews in a View such that the area underneath the Touchable is the View.

I'm having the same problem. It works on iOS. Does not work on Android. Could you share an example code of your workaround?

[simonhoss]

@AndresAltomobile can you maybe share a repository where it does not work?

[AndresAltomobile]

@simonhoss Repo: TouchThroughViewAndroidIssueDemo. Sorry for the late response. I created a small demo. I tried to make it as simple as possible. If you have any questions about the demo, please ask.

Hello @simonhoss, any news about this?

[simonhoss]

I think its related to #14

Can you please try the 1.2.0-beta.0 ?

[AndresAltomobile]

Hi @simonhoss I tried the 1.2.0-beta.0 version, but I'm still experiencing this problem on Android.

Do I need to add additional configuration or something?

I updated the Repo: TouchThroughViewAndroidIssueDemo to the 1.2.0-beta.0 version. Could you take a look?

The problem was that the TouchThroughView took the whole height but it should only take the space above.

Here is a small fix:

<TouchThroughWrapper
          style={{position: 'absolute', zIndex: 15, bottom: 0, top: 10}}>
          <Carousel
            ref={carouselRef}
            data={[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}
            renderItem={({item}) => {
              return (
                <View style={{flex: 1, zIndex: 15}}>
                  <TouchThroughView
                    style={{
                      flex: 1,
                      zIndex: 15,
                    }}
                  />
                  <View style={{height: 300}}>
                    <Sheet />
                  </View>
                </View>
              );
            }}
            inactiveSlideScale={1}
            sliderWidth={width}
            itemWidth={width - 70}
            useScrollView={true}
            scrollEnabled={true}
          />

@simonhoss , It worked, however, this only works with a fixed height. The component in this case <Sheet /> will change the height when user taps the component, so if it grows more than 300 and the user touches the part of <Sheet /> that is outside of <View style = {{height: 300}}> , the touches will go through the component and/or the <Sheet /> will not look good. That is why I wrap the component with <TouchThroughView /> and it works great on iOS but not on Android.

Do you have any other idea how I could make it work just like on iOS?

[simonhoss]

Inside your Sheet component you have a BottomSheet component. It seems that this does not resize correct based on the content. Maybe it uses an absolute style? But this has nothing todo with the TouchThroughView.
