Need help in a Forked <Text> Component for android to make it working on New Architecture/Fabric

[vbansal-bb]

Hi Guys,

In our apps, as a critical feature we need to manage copy and paste operation of Text Component and that is only possible by changing native code of this module for android.
Note: For iOS, we could do it via swizzling.

I could do this on old architecture but i am not able to make it working on new architecture as i think i don't have understanding of internals of new architecture implementation.

Here is my repo
https://github.com/vbansal-bb/CustomTextRepo

Please note that my change in CustomText Component are very minimal wrt Text Component in RN version 0.77 and are listed below

1. To avoid name conflictwith original Text Component , I replaced in Js spec and in Java source code
   RCTText => AndroidTextCustom
   RCTVirtualText =>AndroidVirtualTextCustom
2. created a hook to also update Js libraries of Renderer to compile AndroidTextCustom and AndroidVirtualTextCustom as well
3. ReactTextView.java -> replaced AppCompatTextView with CustomTextView (Custom Text View will basically intercept long press and copy/paster operations and secure it, currently i have just left it almost blank)

Please help in following—

1. How Original Text component works on new architecture..is there any piece of Text component, I am missing
2. Does React Internally not uses any interop layer for Text Component to work it on both architecture?
3. Is it possible to fix CustomText component so that it can work on default new architecture(bridgeless ) and if yes please share some advise for same.

Thanks
