React native Picker onValueChange is not triggering with multiline picker item

Question

I have added multiline support to the react native Picker by adding this

Android: Strings.xml    

  <style name="SpinnerDropDownItem" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
        ...
       <item name="android:inputType">textMultiLine</item>
        ...
    </style>




 <Picker  style={styles.picker} 
    selectedValue={selectedValue} 
    onValueChange={(itemValue, index) => {
                      console.log(index)
      }
    } 
  >
    ... <picker items> ...

  </Picker>

Ref: How to style the React-native picker items to wrap the lengthy text?

but unfortunately onValueChange is not triggering after adding multiline.

How can I get the onValueChange event on multiline Picker.

Am using RN .59.x (RN Upgrading is not feasible for me :( ) and picker mode as DIALOG

..

Any other option to add the multiline support other than updating the strings.xml
