react-native-android-dialog-picker

A simple custom dialog with multiple list items.

Why?

RN 0.59.1+ has a bug with Picker component not rendered as a modal, even when passing props: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/24055 I needed to create a simple Dialog with options (without checkboxes / radio boxes) and didn't wanted to wait until the issue with Picker is fixed. This is a temporary quick solution for the problem.
