Answer 1

You cannot explicitly call onPress for TextInput. You could only use. onFocus which will be called when you press the input box to get cursor over there. No need to focus on onBlur as your use case doesn't required.. Handle close within onFocus if possible.

onFocus = () => {
  // do something
}

render() {
  <TextInput onFocus={onFocus} />
}
