How to display dropdown in ReactNative?
The React native picker component is similar to a dropdown that allows you to select a value from the multiple options given.
The basic Picker component is as follows −
<Picker selectedValue = {selectedelement} onValueChange = {updatefunc}> <Picker.Item label = "ItemLabel" value = "ItemValue" /> ... ... ... <Picker.Item label = "ItemLabel" value = "ItemValue" /> </Picker> To work with picker component, you need to import it first from react-native as follows −
import { Picker } from 'react-native' Picker Properties
