React Native Popup Dialog
Here is an Example of Popup Dialog in React Native. We will use PopupDialog
component provided by react-native-popup-dialog
to make a Dialog.
We can use Alert instead of the popup dialog if we just want to show the text but when it comes to the customization of alert content we have to use the popup dialog.
How to use Popup Dialog Component?
<Dialog
onDismiss={() => {
setDefaultAnimationDialog(false);
}}
width={0.9}
visible={defaultAnimationDialog}
rounded
actionsBordered
dialogTitle={

To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react native command line interface to make our React Native App.
If you have previously installed a global react-native-cli package, please remove it as it may cause unexpected issues:
npm uninstall -g react-native-cli @react-native-community/cli
Run the following commands to create a new React Native project
npx react-native init ProjectName
If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
npx react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.X
Note If the above command is failing, you may have old version of react-native
or react-native-cli
installed globally on your pc. Try uninstalling the cli and run the cli using npx.
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Installation of Dependency
To use PopupDialog
we have to install react-native-popup-dialog
package.
To install this open the terminal and jump into your project
cd ProjectName
Run the following command
npm install react-native-popup-dialog --save
This command will copy all the dependencies into your node_module directory. –save is optional, it is just to update the react-native-popup-dialog dependency in your package.json file.
Code for React Native Popup Dialog
Now Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
// Example of Popup Dialog in React Native
// https://aboutreact.com/popup-dialog/
// import React in our code
import React, {useState} from 'react';
// import all the components we are going to use
import {
SafeAreaView,
View,
Text,
TouchableHighlight,
StyleSheet,
Button,
} from 'react-native';
import Dialog, {
DialogTitle,
DialogContent,
DialogFooter,
DialogButton,
SlideAnimation,
ScaleAnimation,
} from 'react-native-popup-dialog';
const App = () => {
const [
defaultAnimationDialog, setDefaultAnimationDialog
] = useState(false);
const [
scaleAnimationDialog, setScaleAnimationDialog
] = useState(false);
const [
slideAnimationDialog, setSlideAnimationDialog
] = useState(false);
return (

To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
cd ProjectName
1. Start Metro Bundler
First, you will need to start Metro, the JavaScript bundler that ships with React Native. To start Metro bundler run following command
npx react-native start
Once you start Metro Bundler it will run forever on your terminal until you close it. Let Metro Bundler run in its own terminal. Open a new terminal and run the application.
2. Start React Native Application
To run the project on an Android Virtual Device or on real debugging device
npx react-native run-android
or on the iOS Simulator by running (macOS only)
npx react-native run-ios

Hi Snehal Agrawal,
Can we apply ScrollView within the popup dialog
I haven’t tried it. Can you please look into it or else let me know I will try?
Hello guys in this dialog we can put a Popup Menu – Over Flow Menu
I just tested the Output in Online Emulator, select ‘Web’, click the three buttons, no alert box displayed?
May be it will not work in Web. Try with Android and iOS, It will work for sure.
