title: React Native Android: Is renderToHardwareTextureAndroid working?
body: <p>I am having performance and "jank" issues while scrolling on a Android React Native app. The JS FPS drops from ~60fps down to ~3-10fps while scrolling.</p>
  
  <p>The content being scrolled DOES include images containing transparency and text layered over images. If I remove the images, performance increases significantly.</p>
  
  <p>The above scenario sounds like a perfect case for <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance#moving-a-view-on-the-screen-scrolling-translating-rotating-drops-ui-thread-fps" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>renderToHardwareTextureAndroid</code></a>. That said, enabling this property on a <code>View</code> containing the images/text seems to have no effect at all.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can I confirm this feature is truly turned on and working as expected? Is it possible that something I am doing/not doing is forcing the hardware rendering to not take place?</strong></p>
