I am new to React Native. How can we refresh/reload previous screen when returning to it by calling goBack()?
Lets say we have 3 screens A, B, C:

Thanks to @Bat. I have spent a lot of hours on finding the answer and finally, I got a basic solution which is working according to my needs. I was quite worried though. Simply make a function like this in your previous activity make sure to bind it.
changeData(){
var mydata= salesmanActions.retrieveAllSalesman();
this.setState({dataListFill: mydata});
alert('' + mydata.length);
}
Simple, then in constructor bind this,
this.changeData= this.changeData.bind(this);
After that, as I am using react native navigation, so I will simply pass this function to the second screen just like the code below:
onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('Add Salesman', {doChange:
this.changeData} )}
So when the new screen registered as "Add Salesman" will be called, a parameter named "doChange" which is assigned a function will also be transfered to other screen. Now, in other screen call this method anywhere, by :
this.props.route.params.doChange();
It works for me. I hope works for you too, THANKS for the idea @Bat.
