How to make text message clickable with react-native-gifted-chat

I'm developing a mobile chat app with react-native-gifted-chat, and I would like to make the system messages clickable to execute a function.

My code is below, but somehow it doesn't work.

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Image, ImageBackground, Text, Linking, SafeAreaView, ScrollView, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import { Body, Container, Header, Icon, Left, Right, Thumbnail } from "native-base";
import { Button, List } from 'react-native-paper';
import { GiftedChat, Composer } from 'react-native-gifted-chat';

export default class ChatScreen extends Component {

  messages = [
    {
      _id: 1,
      text: <Text onClick={() => { alert('hello')}} style={{ color: 'red' }}>This message can not be clickable</Text>,
      createdAt: new Date(Date.UTC(2016, 5, 11, 17, 20, 0)),
      system: true,
    }
  ];

  renderComposer = props => {
    return (
      <View style={{flexDirection: 'row'}}>
        <Icon type='SimpleLineIcons' name='paper-clip' style={{ fontSize: 20, justifyContent: 'center', paddingTop: 10, paddingLeft: 5 }}/>
        <Composer {...props} />
        <Button>Submit</Button>
      </View>
    );
  };

  render() {
    return (
      <Container>
        <GiftedChat
          renderComposer={this.renderComposer}
          messages={this.messages}
        />
      </Container>
    )
  }
}

});

And this is the screenshot of my simulator. https://gyazo.com/bc1facffffcbe868fbce5cb15385890d

I expect the system message 'This message cannot be clickable' should be clickable and it shows up the alert message 'hello' when clicking it. But it doesn't work.

The Text has an onPress props not onClick, So you just need to change onClick to onPress. If you will change this then your message will look like this

messages = [
    {
      _id: 1,
      text: <Text onPress={() => { alert('hello')}} style={{ color: 'red' }}>This message can not be clickable</Text>,
      createdAt: new Date(Date.UTC(2016, 5, 11, 17, 20, 0)),
      system: true,
    }
  ];

This will definitely work for you!

Would you try with onPress instead of onClick in Text component?

And you can also refer this below.
