position: fixed support, want to make a view fullscreen.

[jayshah123]

For support of position: "fixed" in css-layout,

Use case : I have (many) videoView deeply nested in view hierarchy - think list of videos, any one of which I want to make fullscreen.

Current approach (hack) : make videoview as big as screen(fixed values for height width in css style), track videoview's parent layout position and give negative margins to videview to show it properly.

Desired approach : Was wondering if there is a simple way to do this (like position: fixed and specify screen co-ordinates)

Any suggestions or help is welcome

Hey guys can we re-open this feature request? I'm also looking for a position: fixed layout property in react native.

According to the docs: An item marked with Position = Absolute is positioned absolutely in regards to its parent. See https://facebook.github.io/yoga/docs/absolute-position/

We really need a way to position an element with regards to the root screen similar to position: fixed in a browser.

I'm fine re-opening as a feature request.

Thanks Emil :-) I've mentioned this feature request in a problem I've posted on StackOverflow. Hopefully others that need this will get involved too.

This is an important because currently in RN we have to use a Portal or a Modal to render views out of the positional scope.
