Status bar covered, how to disable

[brascene]

Hi, after clicking on dropdown, status bar is changed, like backdrop is there and it's covering whole screen on Android, including status bar. I dont' want status bar to be affected at all while clicking on dropdown, how can this be achieved?
Thanks in advance!

@brascene This is a behavior of Modal component of react native and I don't know how to solve your problem. Sorry!
By the way, Modal indeed has some style issues in Android like this one, in which says:

Modal is implemented with Dialog, Dialog will create a window on the top of Activity's Window.

@sohobloo I have an idea, you can use react-native-simple-modal, since it doesn't cover the Status Bar.
Unfortunately, It's not a drop-in replacement for RN Modal component, but it shouldn't be hard to make it work. I can try to do it, but I might not be able to get the details right.

@farzadab Thanks for the suggestion. Worth trying.
