If the upvoted syntax that uses NavigationEvents component is not working, you can try with this:

// no need to import anything more

// define a separate function to get triggered on focus
onFocusFunction = () => {
  // do some stuff on every screen focus
}

// add a focus listener onDidMount
async componentDidMount () {
  this.focusListener = this.props.navigation.addListener('didFocus', () => {
    this.onFocusFunction()
  })
}

// and don't forget to remove the listener
componentWillUnmount () {
  this.focusListener.remove()
}
