Example

• Function Component Example
• Class Component Example

import React, { Component, useState } from "react"; import { Alert, Modal, StyleSheet, Text, TouchableHighlight, View } from "react-native"; const App = () => { const [modalVisible, setModalVisible] = useState(false); return ( <View style={styles.centeredView}> <Modal animationType="slide" transparent={true} visible={modalVisible} onRequestClose={() => { Alert.alert("Modal has been closed."); }} > <View style={styles.centeredView}> <View style={styles.modalView}> <Text style={styles.modalText}>Hello World!</Text> <TouchableHighlight style={{ ...styles.openButton, backgroundColor: "#2196F3" }} onPress={() => { setModalVisible(!modalVisible); }} > <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Hide Modal</Text> </TouchableHighlight> </View> </View> </Modal> <TouchableHighlight style={styles.openButton} onPress={() => { setModalVisible(true); }} > <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Show Modal</Text> </TouchableHighlight> </View> ); }; const styles = StyleSheet.create({ centeredView: { flex: 1, justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center", marginTop: 22 }, modalView: { margin: 20, backgroundColor: "white", borderRadius: 20, padding: 35, alignItems: "center", shadowColor: "#000", shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 }, shadowOpacity: 0.25, shadowRadius: 3.84, elevation: 5 }, openButton: { backgroundColor: "#F194FF", borderRadius: 20, padding: 10, elevation: 2 }, textStyle: { color: "white", fontWeight: "bold", textAlign: "center" }, modalText: { marginBottom: 15, textAlign: "center" } }); export default App;

import React, { Component } from "react"; import { Alert, Modal, StyleSheet, Text, TouchableHighlight, View } from "react-native"; class App extends Component { state = { modalVisible: false }; setModalVisible = (visible) => { this.setState({ modalVisible: visible }); } render() { const { modalVisible } = this.state; return ( <View style={styles.centeredView}> <Modal animationType="slide" transparent={true} visible={modalVisible} onRequestClose={() => { Alert.alert("Modal has been closed."); }} > <View style={styles.centeredView}> <View style={styles.modalView}> <Text style={styles.modalText}>Hello World!</Text> <TouchableHighlight style={{ ...styles.openButton, backgroundColor: "#2196F3" }} onPress={() => { this.setModalVisible(!modalVisible); }} > <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Hide Modal</Text> </TouchableHighlight> </View> </View> </Modal> <TouchableHighlight style={styles.openButton} onPress={() => { this.setModalVisible(true); }} > <Text style={styles.textStyle}>Show Modal</Text> </TouchableHighlight> </View> ); } } const styles = StyleSheet.create({ centeredView: { flex: 1, justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center", marginTop: 22 }, modalView: { margin: 20, backgroundColor: "white", borderRadius: 20, padding: 35, alignItems: "center", shadowColor: "#000", shadowOffset: { width: 0, height: 2 }, shadowOpacity: 0.25, shadowRadius: 3.84, elevation: 5 }, openButton: { backgroundColor: "#F194FF", borderRadius: 20, padding: 10, elevation: 2 }, textStyle: { color: "white", fontWeight: "bold", textAlign: "center" }, modalText: { marginBottom: 15, textAlign: "center" } }); export default App;

presentationStyle

The presentationStyle prop controls how the modal appears (generally on larger devices such as iPad or plus-sized iPhones). See https://developer.apple.com/reference/uikit/uimodalpresentationstyle for details.

• pageSheet covers portrait-width view centered (only on larger devices)
• formSheet covers narrow-width view centered (only on larger devices)

supportedOrientations

The supportedOrientations prop allows the modal to be rotated to any of the specified orientations. On iOS, the modal is still restricted by what's specified in your app's Info.plist's UISupportedInterfaceOrientations field. When using presentationStyle of pageSheet or formSheet, this property will be ignored by iOS.
