React-Native flexWrap doesn't work with Text on Android

84 views Asked by At

There is a simple wrapper view, dynamic text on the left and a static green view on the right side. I'm trying to make it automatically move static green view below the Text by using flexWrap style when the Text reaches 2 lines and becomes multiline. When text fits one line - keep all at the same row.

   <View
      style={{
        flexDirection: 'row',
        flexWrap: 'wrap',
        backgroundColor: 'peach',
        justifyContent: 'space-between',
        width: 300,
      }}
    >
      <Text style={{ backgroundColor: 'powderblue', flexGrow: 1}}>{message}</Text>
      <View style={{ width: 20, height: 20, backgroundColor: 'green' }} />
    </View>

On Android, text-breaking logic makes the Text view width not enough to trigger flexWrap logic (see 2nd case), to move the green view bellow, it doesn't fill full width even when a lot of text inside because of line breaking.

What should I do to make it consistent for all 3 cases?
