title: How can I remove Alert prompts programmatically?
body: <p>On a button click, I start a process that takes sometime and once it gets finished I navigate to a specified screen.</p>
  
  <p>While under process, I <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/alert.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Alert</code></a> a "<em>loading</em>" prompt which according to the <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/alert.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs</a>: "<em>By default, the only button will be an 'OK' button"</em>. And once the process is done, I alert again that the data is ready.</p>
  
  <p>Problem is that I get two prompts above each other, and that they need user's click to be removed.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to remove the first prompt before displaying the second (and maybe set a timer for the second to then remove it as well). </p>
  
  <p>How can I remove <code>Alert</code> prompts programmatically?</p>
