zIndex + position:'absolute' breaks with dynamic components on Android
coderdave
When using any kind of zIndex value with position:'absolute', dynamic components (views in an array for example), will fall out of place or completely disappear when changing its position.

Yes, all sorts of weirdness happens on Android when using zIndex and absolute position. In my particular use case, I am trying to quickly show an action screen superimposed over the main screen, but it doesn't ever appear on Android. Works great on iOS though.
