We've had a long-standing issue with calendar event creation on Android: ENG-24
While testing the calendar on Android, I noticed that the background behind ThreadPickerModal wasn't showing. I found this relevant option in the React Navigation docs, which cautioned to instead use presentation: 'transparentModal' if you have a transparent modal.
ThreadPickerModal and its many siblings are indeed transparent modals, so using presentation: 'transparentModal' fixed the issue where the screen behind the modal wasn't showing. Turns out this also solved the bug in calendar event creation, which was happening because the previous screen was unmounted and the complex chain of events that normally handles dismissing the ThreadPickerModal after the new Entry's TextInput is focused was malfunctioning as a result.
