You can also create custom tabs using <Text> with state and depending on a state value render a View associated with that tab. for example
state = {
modalVisible: false,
currentTab: 1,
};
onTabClick = (currentTab) => {
this.setState({
currentTab: currentTab,
});
};
// inside render
<Modal
animationType="slide"
transparent={true}
visible={this.state.modalVisible}
onRequestClose={() => {
Alert.alert('Modal has been closed.');
}}>
<View style={styles.tabs}>
<Text
onPress={() => {
this.onTabClick(1);
}}
style={[
styles.tabTextStyle,
this.state.currentTab === 1 ? styles.tabUnderline : null,
]}>
GENDER
</Text>
...
</View>
{this.state.currentTab === 1 && (
<View>
<Text>GENDER</Text>
</View>
)}
...

Modal is just a Container like View. You can draw anything inside it.
First, import {Modal} from 'react-native'
Then, in your modal, embed anything what you want:
<Modal visible={ this.state.modal }
animationType="fade" transparent={true}
onRequestClose={_ => this.setState({ modal: false }) }>
<View>
{/*
Do anything. Its an open ground.
Whatever component, styles, props and/or anything else you want, you can design
*/}
{/* For example, I am adding a close button */}
<TouchableOpacity style={{ alignSelf: 'flex-end' }} onPress={_ => this.setState({ modal: false }) }>
<Icon type="FontAwesome" name='times' style={ styles.closeIcon } />
</TouchableOpacity>
</View>
</Modal>
And you can open your modal from anywhere like:
<TouchableOpacity style={ styles.button } onPress={_ => this.setState({ modal: true }) }>
<Text style={ styles.buttonText }>Open Modal</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
Finally, for tabs, you can use either of:
NativeBase Tab Component
React Native Tab View
