ReactNative get the absolute position of a view relative to the screen

Question

with react native.

I can get the position and size with onLayout, but I want to get the absolute position of a view relative to the screen

please! the absolute position of a view relative to the screen

not the absolute position of a view relative to the parent view

What should I do?

Answer 1

you can use measure(callback) it Determines the location on screen, width, and height of the given view and returns the values via an async callback.

a better example can be found here React Native: Getting the position of an element

<View
  ref={(ref) => { this.marker = ref }}
  onLayout={({nativeEvent}) => {
    if (this.marker) {
      this.marker.measure((x, y, width, height, pageX, pageY) => {
                console.log(x, y, width, height, pageX, pageY);
       })
    }
  }}
