Disable back button in react navigation

Question

I\'m using react native navigation (react-navigation) StackNavigator. it starts from the Login page throughout the whole lifecycle of the app. I don\'t want to have a back

Answer 1

You can hide the back button using left:null, but for android devices it's still able to go back when the user presses the back button. You need to reset the navigation state and hide the button with left:null

Here are the docs for resetting navigation state: https://reactnavigation.org/docs/navigators/navigation-actions#Reset

This solution works for react-navigator 1.0.0-beta.7, however left:null no longer works for the latest version.
