Close react native modal by clicking on overlay?

Question

Is it possible to close react native modal by clicking on overlay when transparent option is true? Documentation doesn\'t provide anything about it

Answer 1

Here is my simple implementation:

 // Code to close your modal goes here
     // The view to drawn the background
             true}
                style={styles.container}
            > // The view to drawn your modal
            // Your content
            
        
    

I use TouchableWithoutFeedback since i do not want to change the background color when clicking on it. I also added onStartShouldSetResponder on the modal view to prevent closing the modal when you click inside the view.

I am also not using the Modal component because i done it using react-navigation.
