How to fresh navigate to specific screen?

Question

I'm new in React Native

I have route looks :

ScreenA -> ScreenB -> ScreenC

Now i want to fresh navigate to ScreenA from ScreenC, I use this.props.navigation.navigate('ScreenA');

But i get the fact, i get previous screenA (not new one) or i can say it is like back to previous screen method. What i want similar to Intent intent = new Intent(ScreenA) in Android Native. Can anyone help to solve it?

Updated :

I have 2 routes group, it may lead to the real problem :

StackNavigator {
 screenA,
 screenB
}

TabNavigator {
 screenC
}

I can't move screenC to screenA using .push or .dispatch. But working well using .navigate. But if i use .navigate , screenA is previous screen not new screen (same like before i move to screenB). I want move from screenC to a new screenA not previous screenA.

Try

import { NavigationActions, StackActions } from 'react-navigation';
//Reset and navigate
    const resetAction = StackActions.reset({
            index: 0,
            actions: [
              NavigationActions.navigate({ routeName: 'YourScreen' })
            ]
          })
          this.props.navigation.dispatch(resetAction);
//Or Navigate
this.props.navigation.navigate("YourScreen");
//Similar to navigate, push will move you forward to a new route in the stack
this.props.navigation.push(routeName, params, action)

Solution

If you use react-navigation, you can use push instead of navigate for making a new screen.

this.props.navigation.push('ScreenA');

But other screens remain in stack in this case.

Why

In StackNavigation, navigate is worked according to screen's stack. But push works push the specific screen to stack without checking duplication.

If you want to custom current stack, using reset can be another option.
