To learn how to create screens, read about:
- [Screen `navigation` prop](/docs/navigators/navigation-prop) to allow the screen to dispatch navigation actions, such as opening another screen
- [Screen `navigationOptions`](/docs/navigators/navigation-options) to customize how the screen gets presented by the navigator (e.g. header title, tab label)
### Calling Navigate on Top Level Component
In case you want to use Navigator from the same level you declare it you can use react's [`ref`](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/refs-and-the-dom.html#the-ref-callback-attribute) option:
```js
const AppNavigator = StackNavigator(SomeAppRouteConfigs);
class App extends React.Component {
someEvent() {
// call navigate for AppNavigator here:
this.navigator && this.navigator.dispatch({ type: 'Navigate', routeName, params });
}
render() {
return (
<AppNavigator ref={nav => { this.navigator = nav; }} />
);
}
}
```
Please notice that this solution should only be used on the top level navigator.
