The issue with trying to mock native components using <View />s is that no matter how much time and effort you spend to make it look like the real-deal, You end up with janky looking results (I spent hours taking screenshots of the real Android dialog and trying to imitate it, And didn't get a satisfying result). But to be fair, using react-native <View />s offers a lot of customization which is something you cannot simply just get with native libraries. So there is a decision that needs to be made.

Anyways I decided to make a library for some of the commonly used dialogs using native APIs.

npm install react-native-native-dialog --save

cd ios && pod install   # Only if you're building for iOS

Or if you're using yarn:

yarn add react-native-native-dialog

cd ios && pod install   # Only if you're building for iOS

⚠️ The library only works with react-native@0.60 and up.

Since this library only works with react-native@0.60.0 and up there is no need to manually link the library, But there still some additional setup you need to do.

iOS

This library is written in Swift so we need to create a bridging header in your XCode project (If you've already done it you can skip this section).

0. First of all make sure you run pod install in Terminal inside ios folder.
1. In XCode, in the project navigator, right click [your project's name] ➜ New File...
2. Select Swift File, click Next and then click Create.
3. XCode will ask you whether you want to create bridging header, Click Create Bridging Header.
4. Build your project (Cmd+B), And you're ready to go.

Android

Unfortunately Android doesn't support changing the accentColor dynamically, the only way to use a custom accentColor is to define your style statically in res/values/styles.xml (If you're ok with using the default accentColor in Android you can skip this section).

0. Open android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml

   • If you don't have one create a new file in the exact same path.
   • Add those tow styles to the bottom of your styles.xml file and replace colorPrimary, colorPrimaryDark and colorAccent with your own colors:

   <resources>
       ...
   
   +    <style name="AlertDialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Dialog.Alert">   <!--This theme is used for dark dialog-->
   +        <item name="colorPrimary">#FFB300</item>       <!--Replace the these colors with your own colors-->
   +        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#FFB300</item>
   +        <item name="colorAccent">#FFB300</item>
   +    </style>
   
   +    <style name="LightAlertDialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">   <!--This theme is used for light dialog-->
   +        <item name="colorPrimary">#E6A100</item>       <!--Replace the these colors with your own colors-->
   +        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#E6A100</item>
   +        <item name="colorAccent">#E6A100</item>
   +    </style>
   
   </resources>

1. Next open up android/app/src/main/java/[...]/MainAppliction.java

   • Add import com.github.mohaka.nativedialog.RNNativeDialogPackage; to the imports at the top of the file
   • Add RNNativeDialogPackage.setDialogTheme(R.style.AlertDialog, R.style.LightAlertDialog); to the bottom of onCreate() method.

   ...
   
   import android.app.Application;
   import android.content.Context;
   
   + import com.github.mohaka.nativedialog.RNNativeDialogPackage;
   
   ...
   
   @Override
   public void onCreate() {
       super.onCreate();
       SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
   +   RNNativeDialogPackage.setDialogTheme(R.style.AlertDialog, R.style.LightAlertDialog);
       initializeFlipper(this, getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager());
   }
   
   ...

2. Build your project and start using react-native-native-dialog.

import NativeDialog from 'react-native-native-dialog';

NativeDialog.showDialog({
   title: 'Do you want to update your iCloud Backup before erasing?',
   message: 'If you erase without updating your backup, you may lose photos and other data that are not yet uploaded to iCloud.',

   positiveButton: 'Back Up Then Erase',
   negativeButton: 'Erase Now',
   neutralButton: 'Cancel',

   negativeButtonStyle: 'default',
   neutralButtonStyle: 'cancel',

   theme: 'dark',
   accentColor: '#ff4a9e',

   onPositivePress: () => console.warn('positive'),
   onNegativePress: () => console.warn('negative'),
   onNeutralPress: () => console.warn('neutral'),

   onDismiss: () => console.warn('dismiss'),
});
