Allow users to highlight text about react-native-render-html HOT 13 CLOSED

@Exilz Hi one of the proposed fixes by react-native community for this issue is to use this fix, but we are unable to make it work with defaultTextProps.

The fix still works with pure <Text/> component in rn64. Is there a limitation that we are missing?

@aqos156 Were you able to find a workaround?

I have the same issue.

Added defaultTextProps={{selectable:true}} but that only enabled copying of the entire text, and no way to select text.

To reproduce:
Use react-native-render-html on iOS.

from react-native-render-html.

I forgot to close this issue, but textSelectable prop has been added in 3.8.0.

Keep in mind this is still problematic on iOS up to the current version of react-native (0.53 right now).

Hi, this would be a nice and easy addition for this module.

I'll try it out and add it in the next release if it's working properly without too much hassle.

Hey @Exilz
Can see that this feature didn't make what you referenced as 'next release'. What's the status? This would really be a great addition. Cheers!

Ok so I looked into this and I can't make <Text>'s selectable prop work properly.

It looks like a React Native bug, so I can't add this feature for now.

Check out the issue in rn repo

@GopiKrishna10 take a look at my previous message, it isn't working properly on react-native's end.

I guess you're on iOS, and if so, it doesn't allow you to select only a part of your text for now, only the whole thing.

@Exilz , Yes

Am on IOS.I need to implement the Functionality in ios as well.May I know when it will be added to IOS.

Having the same issue. Want to let user select a part of text and highlight it. The closest solution I've found is to use a TextInput instead of a Text and tinkering with some props like caretHidden, onChangeText etc.

Was anybody able to solve this?
