Ok, actually the only thing I want are two types of 'lists' where you can choose from:
- One with words
- One with numbers with a maximum of 2 numbers
I have a very simple app with only one page where you can choose a type and a number, and then the frequency of that type is shown.
This is how my app looks right now (with a picker used for the list):

The best for me would be to use one type of component for both 'lists'.
Problems:
- Combobox: I would really like to use that, because I have a list of 60 numbers to choose from (and the native picker only shows 3 at once, that's a lot of scrolling). However, it looks bad on iOs because the right part of the numbers/list are broken on some devices:

(Should look like this:)

- Picker: I was not yet able to compile and run on the iOs simulator, but on Android the width of the 'list' is not reliable (the selected word should be 'Marine VHF):

Of course I set setRenderingPrototype() to combobox and picker, so that should not be the problem.
What I am searching for is something that shows a list (in some way) where my text is not cut off on any device. That's all actually.
I already tried to add some margin / padding to the combobox, but that didn't work out: the problem is the space before the items, that is very big on iOs (on the left of the list, as you can see on the iOs screenshots above) and I don't know how to reach that (tried all ComboBox UIID's, but no one did change the width of the empty space left of the text).
I hope you can help me out.
