Creating Sprite-like elements in plugins?

  @AniketK Native UI uses native elements and positions them as Sprites (including scaling options and logical dimensions).
  And this is how it does it:

  basically using logicalScale and logicalTranslate ratios

  @ar2rsawseen but Native UI is android only. I wanted to position a videoview in both ios and android with whatever their respective video widgets are.

  I see, so the main question is how you will get those views in the plugins
  
  The answer is you don't. You keep them in your plugin and manipulate as native views. But your plugin provides functions to set/get positions etc and you get these values in your plugin and position native view accordingly.
  
  Here is what Ads Plugin does:
  
  https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/plugins/ads/source/iOS/Plugins/Ads/adsbinder.cpp#L433-L533
  
  It then retrieves x/y positions from native view or sets them to native view.
