PanResponder X,Y values slightly off on react native app

Question

I am trying to get a handle on understanding how to use Panresponder. I am trying to create a 'cross hairs' that show up wherever the user clicks. I'd like to be able to have it follow the users finger but right now I cant even get it working to show up right where the user taps. Right now its sort of working but the X,Y values are off. I cant understand what I am doing wrong.

I set the initial offset to x:0 and y:0 because I do not care where the previous user clicked. I've tried every combination of using locationX/locationY or pageX/pageY, or gesture.x0/gesture.y0.

Even weirder, after Ive made at least one click in the box that contains the panhandlers, I can then click below the box to initiate the panhandlers. If I click out of the box before clicking inside the box for the first time, the panhandlers wont get called.

Any help would be amazing

Answer 1

Figured it out. The Animated.View I have wrapped in both components didn't have a set width/height so it was inheriting it from the container. This meant I could see the dash lines but there was really a giant box I was moving around. Once I set the height/width on each Animated.View I was able to get the click to be spot on
