React Native onStartShouldSetResponder and onResponderRelease?

Question

I've created a button that I want to have call a function on click and then again on release. A normal TouchableOpacity or other will trigger a function upon release of a click only, I need functions on both click AND release.

<View
    style={styles.touchbutton}
    onStartShouldSetResponder={() => this.clickOn()}
    onResponderRelease={() => this.clickRelease()}>
    <Text style={styles.dark}>Button</Text>
</View>

The above code works on click but not on release. I also tried onResponderReject but that doesn't work either. Hard to find what the command should be.

Had the same problem. onStartShouldSetResponder needs to return true.

onStartShouldSetResponder={(e) => {
    /*do whatever*/;
    return true
}}
