How to change the text color in React Native wheel picker?

Use the selectedItemTextColor and itemTextColor props for the WheelPicker component on Android. For example, set selectedItemTextColor='red' to highlight the selected item, as shown in the README's prop table.

Does react-native-wheel-picker-android support iOS wheel pickers?

No, for iOS it uses the native DatePickerIOS component, which is a standard iOS picker, not a wheel-style one. The library's iOS support is limited to DatePickerIOS props, as mentioned in the cross-platform section.

How to make the picker cyclic in Android?

Set the isCyclic prop to true on the WheelPicker component for Android. This allows the picker to loop continuously through the data array, as specified in the README's prop descriptions.

What are the differences between this library and react-native-picker?

This library focuses on Android wheel pickers with native iOS fallback, offering extensive Android customization like cyclic behavior and custom arrays. In contrast, react-native-picker might provide more uniform cross-platform components but with less Android-specific wheel styling.

How to set a minimum date in the date picker?

Use the startDate prop on the DatePicker component for Android to set a minimum date. For example, startDate={new Date()} restricts selections to today or later, as noted in the Android-only features list.

Is this library maintained? Last update and issues?

Check the GitHub repository for recent activity; the README shows npm badges but doesn't specify last update date. It's open-source, so maintenance depends on community contributions, and issues can be filed on the project's GitHub page.
