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

It looks like z-index works from top to bottom.

Without setting the zIndex manually, your absolutely positioned component should be lower in order of appearance/line number in your code for it to layer over the content below it.

so

then

and not the other way around.
