title: React Native custom cross-platform dropdown select element
body: <p>I have searched quite thoroughly with not much luck. I am having trouble implementing a simple custom dropdown select element for my application.</p>
  
  <p>I am hoping for a cross-platform (iOS &amp; Android) solution like the simple custom JS dropdown featured here <a href="https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_custom_select.asp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_custom_select.asp</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>Is this something I should just be creating myself with react native views and some state? I'm still trying to get a feel of what solutions are unrealistic. Could anyone give me an example from a professional project?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to avoid using the native Picker from here since I cannot style them to match my designer's needs. <a href="https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-picker" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-picker</a></p>
  
  <p>I tried this package but it seems to be having trouble with the latest versions and I need something reliable. <a href="https://github.com/sohobloo/react-native-modal-dropdown" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/sohobloo/react-native-modal-dropdown</a>
  I was also looking at this package as it seems to be nearly perfect for my needs but again it has not been updated in 2 years <a href="https://github.com/n4kz/react-native-material-dropdown" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/n4kz/react-native-material-dropdown</a></p>
