})

export default class App extends React.Component {

  render() {
    return (
      <AppNavigator
        onNavigationStateChange={(prevState, currentState) => {
          // If you want to ignore the state changed from `DrawerNavigator`, use this:
          /*
            if (/^Drawer(Open|Close|Toggle)$/.test(getCurrentRouteKey(newState)) === false) {
              updateFocus(newState);
              return;
            }
          */

myScreenView.js

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import {
  View,
  Text,
} from 'react-native'
import { withNavigationFocus } from '@patwoz/react-navigation-is-focused-hoc'

class MyScreenView extends React.Component {

  static propTypes = {
    isFocused: PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
    focusedRouteKey: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  };

  componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
    if (!this.props.isFocused && nextProps.isFocused) {
      // screen enter (refresh data, update ui ...)
    }
    if (this.props.isFocused && !nextProps.isFocused) {
      // screen exit
    }
  }

  shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps) {
    // Update only once after the screen disappears
    if (this.props.isFocused && !nextProps.isFocused) {
      return true;
    }

    // Don't update if the screen is not focused
    if (!this.props.isFocused && !nextProps.isFocused) {
      return false;
    }

    // Update the screen if its re-enter
    return !this.props.isFocused && nextProps.isFocused;
  }

  render() {
    if (!this.props.isFocused /*&& this.props.focusedRouteKey.indexOf('Drawer') !== 0*/) {
      return null;
    }

    return (
      <View>
        {this.props.isFocused
          ? <Text>I am focused</Text>
          : <Text>I am not focused</Text>
        }
      </View>
