Nesting of <View> inside <Text> component is not supported on Android

[mdimovska]

• I have reviewed the documentation
• I have searched existing issues
• I am using the latest React Native version

Environment

Environment:
  OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.3
  Node: 8.9.4
  Yarn: 1.5.1
  npm: 5.7.1
  Watchman: 4.7.0
  Xcode: Xcode 9.2 Build version 9C40b
  Android Studio: 2.3 AI-162.4069837

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: ^16.3.1 => 16.3.1
  react-native: 0.54.2 => 0.54.2

Steps to Reproduce

Render a <View> inside a <Text> component.

Expected Behavior

Nesting a <View> inside a <Text> component is supported on Android.

Actual Behavior

Nesting a <View> inside a <Text> component is NOT supported on Android.

Q:
Are there any plans to support nesting of View components inside Text on Android? This is already supported on iOS since v0.54.0: 2716f53, but it's still missing on Android.
Since I'm not familiar with the implementation, my 2nd question would be: Is this feasible on Android?
