The problem is that a parent View in Android will clip the content of children Views (react-native)

This solves the problem of Overflow on Android (check this facebook/react-native#16951)

This could make code simpler, so you don't need to move some Components outside parents to make layout work

You can read more about the motivation and this package here https://medium.com/@sibelius/solving-view-overflow-in-android-reactnative-f961752a75cd

Read it! :D
