Hello, is it possible to show an alert message with a prompt for user input and then handle this input for next steps? ---

That’s not what I am looking for. I wish to have a popup screen (I suppose with alert component) that allows the user to type something in a text input case and I can evaluate the answer (like a password). ---

Do you mean, on android you are unable to set a rows visibility to false? I set the position for that single row to absolute and all other “position” settings for that row to “center”. I ---
