### For React Native v0.60 and above (Autolinking)

As [react-native@0.60](https://reactnative.dev/blog/2019/07/03/version-60) and above supports autolinking there is no need to run the linking process. 
Read more about autolinking [here](https://github.com/react-native-picker/cli/blob/master/docs/autolinking.md). This is supported by `react-native-windows@0.64` and above. 

#### iOS
CocoaPods on iOS needs this extra step:

```
npx pod-install
```

#### Android
No additional step is required.

<details>
<summary>Windows (expand for details)</summary>

#### Windows
Usage in Windows without autolinking requires the following extra steps:

##### Add the `ReactNativePicker` project to your solution.

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2019
2. Right-click Solution icon in Solution Explorer > Add > Existing Project
   Select `D:\dev\RNTest\node_modules\@react-native-picker\picker\windows\ReactNativePicker\ReactNativePicker.vcxproj`

##### **windows/myapp.sln**
Add a reference to `ReactNativePicker` to your main application project. From Visual Studio 2019:

Right-click main application project > Add > Reference...
  Check `ReactNativePicker` from Solution Projects.

##### **app.cpp**
Add `#include "winrt/ReactNativePicker.h"` to the headers included at the top of the file.

Add `PackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativePicker::ReactPackageProvider());` before `InitializeComponent();`.
</details>

#### MacOS
CocoaPods on MacOS needs this extra step (called from the MacOS directory)

```
pod install
```

4. Run your project (`Cmd+R`)<

#### Android

</details>

## RTL Support

you need to add `android:supportsRtl="true"` to `AndroidManifest.xml`
```xml
   <application
      ...
      android:supportsRtl="true">
```

## Usage

Import Picker from `@react-native-picker/picker`:

```javascript
import {Picker} from '@react-native-picker/picker';
```

Create state which will be used by the `Picker`:

```javascript
const [selectedLanguage, setSelectedLanguage] = useState();
```

Add `Picker` like this:

```javascript
<Picker
  selectedValue={selectedLanguage}
  onValueChange={(itemValue, itemIndex) =>
    setSelectedLanguage(itemValue)
  }>
  <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" />
  <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" />
</Picker>
```

If you want to open/close picker programmatically on android (available from version 1.16.0+), pass ref to `Picker`:

```javascript
const pickerRef = useRef();

function open() {
  pickerRef.current.focus();
}

function close() {
  pickerRef.current.blur();
}

return <Picker
  ref={pickerRef}
  selectedValue={selectedLanguage}
  onValueChange={(itemValue, itemIndex) =>
    setSelectedLanguage(itemValue)
  }>
  <Picker.Item label="Java" value="java" />
  <Picker.Item label="JavaScript" value="js" />
</Picker>
```
