React Native - View disappears when position is absolute on Android

Question

Whenever I made the position style \'absolute\' for this view, it disappears. I have no idea why it is happening.

import React, { Component } from \'react\';
imp         


        

Answer 1

I've just experienced this problem and it seems like specifying minWidth and minHeight for the parent of 'absolute' positioned elements solves the problem.

EDIT: Actually specifying width and height also solves it.

Here is the updated snack. See line 11.
