Answer 1

You might want to use the "onTouchStart". it Determines the location on screen from pageX, pageY of the given view and returns the values.

<View
  onTouchStart={(e) => {console.log('touchMove', e.nativeEvent.pageY)}}
 >

Answer 2

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);
       })
    }
  }}
