How to finish current component while navigating to next component in react native

Question

Hi I am trying to navigate to next component using navigate function. I am using react-navigation for the navigation among multiple components.

Suppose I have index.android.js and DashboardScreen.js component. I am trying to navigate to DashboardScreen.js component from index component.

It is navigating but index component always retain in component stack. when I press back then it opens index.android.js which should not be. Does anyone know how to manage this in react-native. In Android, finish() works for this.

navigate("DashboardScreen");

When I am navigating from SplashScreen to EnableNotification then SplashScreen should be destroyed, if I am navigating from EnableNotification to CreateMessage then EnableNotification should be destroyed and if I am navigating from CreateMessage to DashboardScreen then CreateMessage should be destroyed. As of now no component is being destroyed.

index.android.js

class SplashScreen extends Component {
  render() {
    if (__DEV__) {
      console.disableYellowBox = true;
    }

    const { navigate } = this.props.navigation;

    AsyncStorage.getItem("@ProductTour:key").then(value => {
      console.log(value);
      if (value) {
        navigate("DashboardScreen");
      }
    });

    return (
     ....
    );
  }
}

const App = StackNavigator(
  {
    Splash: {
      screen: SplashScreen,
      navigationOptions: {
        header: {
          visible: false
        }
      }
    },
    EnableNotification: {
      screen: EnableNotificationScreen,
      navigationOptions: {
        header: {
          visible: false
        }
      }
    },
    CreateMessage: {
      screen: CreateMessageScreen,
      navigationOptions: {
        header: {
          visible: false
        }
      }
    },
    DashboardScreen: {
      screen: DashboardScreen,
      navigationOptions: {
        header: {
          visible: false
        }
      }
    }
  },
  {
    initialRouteName: "Splash"
  }
);

Just use 'replace' in place of 'navigate'

this.props.navigation.replace('Your Next Component Name')
