[RN 0.59.1] Android picker is always shown as dropdown

🐛 Bug Report

The picker on Android is always shown as a dropdown, even if the mode is set to dialog. On RN 0.58.6 it works according to the mode that is set (“dialog” or “dropdown”).

RN 0.59.1

RN 0.58.6

To Reproduce

Initialize a new react native project: react-native init testPicker

Add the code example for the picker attached below to the return, as well in the constructor this.state = {language: “Java”};

Run the project: react-native run-android

Expected Behavior

I expect that when the picker mode is set to “dialog” (or not set, because the default mode is “dialog”) to open the items in a new modal window, not as dropdown anchored to the picker view

Code Example

render() { return ( <View style={styles.container}> <Text style={styles.welcome}>Welcome to React Native!</Text> <Text style={styles.instructions}>To get started, edit App.js</Text> <Text style={styles.instructions}>{instructions}</Text> <Picker selectedValue={this.state.language} style={{height: 50, width: 100}} mode={"dialog"} onValueChange={(itemValue, itemIndex) => this.setState({language: itemValue}) }> <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" /> <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" /> </Picker> </View> ); }

Environment

react-native --version react-native-cli: 2.0.1 react-native: 0.59.1
