Sounds like you’ll want to parse the received JSON into elements for a `Titanium.UI.Picker`. [Here’s Titanium’s docs on working with received JSON](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Working_with_JSON_Data-section-29004905_WorkingwithJSONData-ReceivingandparsingJSONdata), and [here’s the docs on `Picker`](http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Picker).

[This post on StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10287437/titanium-creating-a-single-column-picker-with-data-from-json) and [this post on Titanium’s developer forum](https://developer.appcelerator.com/question/133109/titanium-picker-crashes-with-remote-data) appear to cover the use case of populating a `Picker` with received data.
