If you're looking for a more extensive and future-proof way to handle touch-based input, check out the Pressable API.

A wrapper for making views respond properly to touches. On press down, the opacity of the wrapped view is decreased, dimming it.

Opacity is controlled by wrapping the children in an Animated.View, which is added to the view hierarchy. Be aware that this can affect layout.

Example

import React, {useState} from 'react';
import {StyleSheet, Text, TouchableOpacity, View} from 'react-native';
import {SafeAreaView, SafeAreaProvider} from 'react-native-safe-area-context';

const App = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const onPress = () => setCount(prevCount => prevCount + 1);

  return (
    <SafeAreaProvider>
      <SafeAreaView style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.countContainer}>
          <Text>Count: {count}</Text>
        </View>
        <TouchableOpacity style={styles.button} onPress={onPress}>
          <Text>Press Here</Text>
        </TouchableOpacity>
      </SafeAreaView>
    </SafeAreaProvider>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    paddingHorizontal: 10,
  },
  button: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#DDDDDD',
    padding: 10,
  },
  countContainer: {
    alignItems: 'center',
    padding: 10,
  },
});

export default App;
