TouchableOpacity onPress not Firing in Android

I have an onPress handler not firing in Android. Neither the _pickImage method is never fired on Android, nor the console.log('onpress'). Using Expo 31.

Code:

  _pickImage = async () => {
    console.log('press');
    const {
      status: cameraPerm
    } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA);

    const {
      status: cameraRollPerm
    } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.CAMERA_ROLL);

    // only if user allows permission to camera roll
    if (cameraPerm === 'granted' && cameraRollPerm === 'granted') {
      let pickerResult = await ImagePicker.launchImageLibraryAsync({
        allowsEditing: true,
        aspect: [4, 3],
      });

      this._handleImagePicked(pickerResult);
    }
  };

return (
  <Container>
      ....some code
      <View>
        <View style={styles.margotImgInnerView}>
          <Image source={User.getProfileSource(this.props.profile)} style={styles.margotImg}  />
          <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => { // This doesn't fire on Android
            console.log('onpress');
            this._pickImage()
          }}>
            <View style={styles.margotImgEditView}>
              <Icon name="ios-videocam" style={styles.editCamIcon} />
              <Text style={{ fontSize: 15 }}>Edit</Text>
            </View>
          </TouchableOpacity>
        </View>
        {this._maybeRenderUploadingOverlay()}
      </View>


  margotImgInnerView: {
    position: "absolute",
    top: -(deviceWidth / 6),
    left: deviceWidth / 3,
    width: deviceWidth / 3,
    height: deviceWidth / 3,
    borderRadius: 5,
    borderWidth: 5,
    borderColor: "#fff"
  },
  margotImg: {
    height: deviceWidth / 3 - 10,
    width: deviceWidth / 3 - 10
  },
  margotImgEditView: {
    position: "absolute",
    right: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    height: 25,
    width: 60,
    backgroundColor: "rgba(206,208,203,0.8)",
    borderRadius: 5,
    borderTopRightRadius: 0,
    borderBottomLeftRadius: 0,
    borderBottomRightRadius: 0,
    flexDirection: "row",
    justifyContent: "center",
    paddingTop: 3
  },

I also tried removing the "Overlay" which in any case is only activwe when Uploading.

I got the same issue, the problem was I was using style with position absolute zero with View tag. Fixed it by removing style from view and put in Touchable opacity.

Just to add to the existing answers.

The problem is in zIndex and should be on the view that you have absolute position on.

Eg: 

<View style={{position:'absolute', zIndex: 1}}>
<Button title="target button. May be touchable element whatever" onPress={this._onButtonPress} />
</View>

When you ar positioning anything in absolut position, you should always give it one z positioning.

It's probably because of absolute positioning of your views and z-Index stuffs. You should/can give style to the wrapping <TouchableOpacity /> instead of it's child <View />. In the above example, make this change:

<TouchableOpacity style={styles.margotImgEditView} onPress={() => { 
    console.log('onpress');
 }}>
    <View>
      <Text style={{ fontSize: 15 }}>Edit</Text>
    </View>
</TouchableOpacity>

Have style (styles.margotImgEditView) in TouchableOpacity instead of the View beneath.
