skip to Main Content

I have an issue with react navigation.
I would like to have the same behavior as the linkedIn app has.
I mean, in that app, you can open the settings page from the drawer in differents tabs. You can open it from the first tab, second one… and so on. and at the end you get multiple instances.

I am not able to reproduce this behavior

My navigation is:
One drawer with one drawer screen (one Tab navigator inside). 3 tabs screens inside that Tab navigator. Each one contains a stack. I have set the same screens in that screen. For example I want to share the Profile, so I have one profile screen in each tab.

In the customDrawer I navigate to screens name, but here is the problem. React navigation does not know what stack should call before calling the right screen.
And I cannot find a way to know the current mounted stack so I cannot set it dinamically in order to do inside the custom drawer:

 onPress={() =>
          props.navigation.navigate(Routes.student.home.STACK, { screen: Routes.student.SETTINGS })
        }

Thanks!

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    I think I found a possible solution to my question. I have changed the CustomDrawerContent.

    function CustomDrawerContent(props: any) {
      const drawerState = props.state.routes[0]?.state;
      const routeIndex = drawerState?.index;
      const focusedTab = drawerState?.routes?.[routeIndex]?.name || Routes.student.home.STACK;
    
      return (
        <DrawerContentScrollView {...props}>
          <Text>Mi cuenta</Text>
          <DrawerItem
            label='Configuración'
            onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate(focusedTab, { screen: Routes.student.SETTINGS })}
          />
          <DrawerItem
            label='Métodos de pago'
            onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate(focusedTab, { screen: Routes.student.PAYMENT })}
          />
          <Text>Social</Text>
          <DrawerItem
            label='Tiktok'
            onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate(focusedTab, { screen: Routes.student.PROFILE })}
          />
          <Text>Ayuda</Text>
          <DrawerItem
            label='Preguntas frecuentes'
            onPress={() => props.navigation.navigate(focusedTab, { screen: Routes.student.FAQ })}
          />
          <DrawerItem
            label='Atención al alumno'
            onPress={() =>
              props.navigation.navigate(focusedTab, { screen: Routes.student.STUDENT_SUPPORT })
            }
          />
        </DrawerContentScrollView>
      );
    }
    

  2. Try renaming your Settings screen component differently for each stack navigator. So something like

    <PracticalStack.Screen name="Practical/Settings" component={Settings} />
    
    <HomeStack.Screen name="Home/Settings" component={Settings} />
    

    Then you could navigate to the appropriate screen from your drawer based on the tab in focus.
