Answer 1

You need to wrap your row element (inside your renderItem method) inside tag. TouchableWithoutFeedback takes onPress as it's prop where you can provide onPress event.

For TouchableWithoutFeedback refer https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/touchablewithoutfeedback.html

Answer 2

if onPress is not workingin the flatlist's render method try using onTouchStart method of the components if they have in the flatList's render method.
