Steps to Reproduce

(Write your steps here:)

I need to detect if component A's position is within component B when pan gesture (drag) on A is released. However, the position from onPanResponderRelease's gesture.moveY is measured with respect to the entire screen, whereas the position returned from A's onLayoutis measured with respect to the parent view. So i'd need to know the parent view's current height to reconcile the differences.

Expected Behavior

There should be a function to return the position with respect to the entire screen.

Actual Behavior

see above
