Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

In task details page, tapping assignee shows infinite loading page.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The didScreenTransitionEnd here on Android is always false, that's because the event here never fires. This transitionEnd has been known to be unreliable, which is why we ditched this approach and used this approach instead to be sure the transition has ended (it has been used in several places as part of the useAutoFocusInput hook)

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We should use this agreed approach to detect transition end in this case too.

We can do that by:

• Extract this logic to a useIsScreenTransitionEnded hook, which will return a isScreenTransitionEnded boolean value indicating if the screen transition has ended
• Use that hook in here and in places that use didScreenTransitionEnd in there, use the boolean returned from the hook instead.
• In here, also use that hook for DRY

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

We can use the useIsScreenTransitionEnded hook inside the ScreenWrapper itself and pass it down to child components, and not relying on the navigation event any more.
