react native: modal is not displaying

Question

I am new to react-native and I am trying to display modal in react-native with following code

      <View>
    <View onPress={() => {this.toggleModal(true) }}  onBackdropPress={ () => 
   {this.hideModal(false)}}>

        <View>
            <OcticonsIcons name='plus' size={19}/>

            <Text>QUICK ACTION</Text>
        </View>

        <View>
            <View>
                <Image source={require('../images/truck.png')} 
                />
                <Image source={require('../images/taxi(1).png')} 
                />
                <Image source={require('../images/tour.png')} 
                />
            </View>
        </View>

     </View>

    </View>
    <Modal visible={this.state.isModalVisible} animationType = "slide" transparent = 
    {false}>
            <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
             <Text style={{ fontWeight:'bold', fontSize: 20, color: '#f79334', marginTop: 15 
      }} > Services </Text>
            </View>
      </Modal>


  toggleModal(visible){
   this.setState({ isModalVisible: visible });
  }

    hideModal(visible){
   this.setState({ isModalVisible: visible })
   }

but it's not working, can anyone tell me what wrong with my code, thank you.

The thing is you cant have onPress function on components, its solely for just showing. To use onPress you have to use TouchableOpacity.

Check the code below :

 <View>
    <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => {this.toggleModal(true) }}  onBackdropPress={ () => 
   {this.hideModal(false)}}>

        <View>
            <OcticonsIcons name='plus' size={19}/>

            <Text>QUICK ACTION</Text>
        </View>

        <View>
            <View>
                <Image source={require('../images/truck.png')} 
                />
                <Image source={require('../images/taxi(1).png')} 
                />
                <Image source={require('../images/tour.png')} 
                />
            </View>
        </View>

     </TouchableOpacity>

    </View>
    <Modal visible={this.state.isModalVisible} animationType = "slide" transparent = 
    {false}>
            <View style={{ flex: 1 }}>
             <Text style={{ fontWeight:'bold', fontSize: 20, color: '#f79334', marginTop: 15 
      }} > Services </Text>
            </View>
      </Modal>


  toggleModal = (visible) =>{
   this.setState({ isModalVisible: visible });
  }

    hideModal = (visible) => {
   this.setState({ isModalVisible: visible })
   }

Hope it helps. feel free for doubts
