Hi all!
So i am wanting to hide a screen in the Bottom tab.
So basicly i have 4 screens.
And When the user is in screen 1 i want screen 2 to be visible and screen 1 hidden and When the user is in screen 2 i want screen 2 to be hidden and screen 1 to be visible.
Is this possible?
Thanks

The screen navigator at the top is actually a button.
You can wrap them in a navigator drawer (There will be no stacking levels. ), and then use a few buttons to complete (using program control).

So basically you want to “remove” from navigator the current screen a user is using at a time.
Thinking about the very essence of a navigator, it helps you navigate through screens. So it display all the screens bound to it. I don’t think you programmatically can change that. But I’m just a beginner. Maybe someone more advanced can give you a work around and ill be very happy to “play” through blocks with navigator`s properties too 🤔
The only thing I learned until now from @muneer was to change a screen name displayed in navigator through blocks, but event that takes place only after that screen become active.

Yes kind of.
But screen 1 and 2 Will be hidden depending on the screen the user is in, but screen 3 and 4 Will always be visible.

This is the options of the React Native Navigator module. This will not help you to hide the screen. It will help you to change the title of the screen for example.
See this (although for an old release but works similar)

Typically, it should be part of the navigator options block but you would only know if you try it.

Sorry for the wrong info.
I just checked React Native documentation. The options you asked about are not part of the `Navigator Options` and therefore will not help coding them in it.

That’s okay.
