React-native: Android: Picker's dropdown arrow disappears when backgroundColor is set

[mhagmajer]

The right-most dropdown arrow is invisible for picker rendered with the code below

<Picker
  mode="dropdown"
  style={{backgroundColor: 'beige'}}
  selectedValue={this.state.language}
  onValueChange={(lang) => this.setState({language: lang})}>
  <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" />
  <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" />
</Picker>

I agree, why there is no arrow?

When style is provided the triangle disappears. Looking for a way to keep the triangle while styling it.

Is there any solution to that already?

[Jaafar-abusair]

just remove the background color for the picker.

[vitorbaraujo]

That works, but I was trying to make the dropdown arrow to appear and have the same color as the text. But when I set color to the picker, the text changed its color, but not the arrow

[Jaafar-abusair]

I solved it by setting the background color to white, and place it inside a parent view after that i added icone to the view just next to the picker with absolute position above the picker like right:10. And this gave me what you looking for

If you wrap the picker in a View with a background color, it works fine:

<View style={{backgroundColor: '#FFF'}}>
  <Picker ... />
</View>

@nrathi works fine but this issue is still there.

It means you can not set backgroundColor in Picker

[phemonick]

it worked by simply wrapping your picker in a view, then adding a background to the view

Here's a way to change the dropdown icon/carrot color @manojbhardwaj @CristianeMayara,

In styles.xml...

<resources>
    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
         <item name="android:colorControlNormal">#FFFFFF</item>
    </style>
</resources>
