Another solution:

// Modal.js
import React from 'react';
import {
  TouchableWithoutFeedback,
  StyleSheet,
  Modal,
  View,
} from 'react-native';
import t from 'prop-types';


class MyModal extends React.Component {
  static propTypes = {
    children: t.node.isRequired,
    visible: t.bool.isRequired,
    dismiss: t.func.isRequired,
    transparent: t.bool,
    animationType: t.string,
  };

  static defaultProps = {
    animationType: 'none',
    transparent: true,
  };

  render() {
    const { props } = this;
    return (
      
        
        
          
        

        
          {props.children}
        
        
      
    );
  }
}


const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  modalContent: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    margin: '5%',
  },
  modalOverlay: {
    position: 'absolute',
    top: 0,
    bottom: 0,
    left: 0,
    right: 0,
    backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.5)'
  },
});


export default MyModal;

Usage example:

// SomeScreen.js
import React from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button } from 'react-native';

import Modal from './Modal';


class SomeScreen extends React.Component {
  state = {
    isModalVisible: false,
  };

  showModal = () => this.setState({ isModalVisible: true });
  hideModal = () => this.setState({ isModalVisible: false });

  render() {
    return (
      
        
        
          Hello, I am modal
        
      
    );
  }
}
