How to call Screen / Component class method from r

Question

I need to call SearchScreen class method from a React Navigation Header.

The Navigator look like this:

  Search: {
    screen: SearchScreen,
    path: 'search/:query',
    navigationOptions: {
      title: 'Search',
      header: {
        right: (
          <MaterialCommunityIcons
            name="filter"
            onPress={() => {
              console.log(this);
            }}
            style={{marginRight: 15, color: 'white'}}
            size={24}
          />
        ),
      },
    }
  }

Answer 1

I've made it work by doing:

// declare static navigationOptions in the Component
static navigationOptions = {
  title: 'Title',
  header: ({ state }) => ({
    right: (
      <MaterialCommunityIcons
        name="filter"
        onPress={state.params.handleFilterPress}
        style={{marginRight: 15, color: 'white'}}
        size={24}
      />
    ),
  }),
}

_handleFilterPress() {
  // do something
}


componentDidMount() {
  // set handler method with setParams
  this.props.navigation.setParams({ 
    handleFilterPress: this._handleFilterPress.bind(this) 
  });
}

I came across same issue and able to resolve the issue from below links.

class MyScreen extends React.Component {
    static navigationOptions = {
        header: {
            right: <Button title={"Save"} onPress={() => this.saveDetails()} />
        }
    };

    saveDetails() {
        alert('Save Details');
    }

    render() {
        return (
            <View />
        );
    }
}

Below is my code

    super(props);
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Header searchBar rounded>
        <Button

    return this.props.loading ? (
