View in Flatlist outputs incorrect 'x' and 'y' origin position in Android

[rotemtaboola]

Description

Appears on Android only: Using a view in RN 0.61.5 and above within a flat list is displayed correctly. However, when getting the location of the view using the following Java code:

int[] location = new int[2];
myView.getLocationOnScreen(location);

results in incorrect values (x=0,y=0).

When adding the removeClippedSubviews={false} (even though the default value in the documentation is false) flag to the Flatlist, the output is correct (x=10, y=1216).

The behavior works correctly on iOS without the need to add the flag.

React Native version:

Appears on 0.61.5 and above, including the latest version. Works fine on 0.59.10.

Steps To Reproduce

Using the following below example to reproduce:

const FlatListTester = props => {
  const p1 = <Text key="p1">{paragraphs[0]}</Text>;
  const p2 = <Text key="p2">{paragraphs[1]}</Text>;
  const p3 = <Text style={styles.middle} key="p3">{paragraphs[2]}</Text>;
  const p4 = <Text key="p4">{paragraphs[3]}</Text>;


 return (
    <Container>
    <View>
       <FlatList
         data={[{ key: 'p1' }, { key: 'p2' }, { key: 'p3' }, { key: 'p4' }, { key: 'myview' }]}
        renderItem={({ item }) => {
          switch (item.key) {
            case 'p1':
              return p1;
            case 'p2':
              return p2;
            case 'p3':
              return p3;
            case 'p4':
              return p4;
            case 'myview':
              return <MyView />;
            default:
              return null;
          }
        }}
      />

    </View>
    </Container>
  );

Expected Results

As in description, provide the correct origin (x=10, y=1216) when using myView.getLocationOnScreen(location);
