Calling methods on SearchBar

Store a reference to the SearchBar in your component by using the ref prop provided by React (see docs):

<SearchBar
  ref={search => this.search = search}
  ...
/>

You can then access SearchBar methods like so:

this.search.focus();
this.search.blur();
this.search.clear();
this.search.cancel(); // Only available if `platform` props is "ios" | "android"
