Using measure() with a relative-to component / stable "pageY" when inside a ScrollView?

[marqroldan]

I'm trying to obtain the y-position of the elements inside a ScrollView, but if you nest views the measure() would always return a y relative to the parent component, and pageY relative to the screen at the time (basically, if you scroll and recalculate, pageY would be different)

Unfortunately right now I have to keep passing on the parent's "pageY" just so the children's pageY are correct and stable

Is there any other way of doing this?

Thanks!

Hey @marqroldan!

Unfortunately, there is no other way than this. You have to figure out yourself how to best get the relative position of the view. If you want to get the position of the view relative to the ScrollView outer view, then you can call measure for the ScrollView's ref and calculate the difference.

Owh, that is unfortunate but I am happy I am not missing out on anything 😅

Thank you for your response!
