I'm using DrawerNavigator and I have 3 pages: Router page, mainScreen and a photos page,
I maked a header navbar area and I used This <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('DrawerOpen')}> to open Drawer menu in mainScreen and used that for photos page too, menu is ok in mainScreen, But when I click <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('DrawerOpen')}> in photos page, I got this error: Photo
How Can I fix That?

My photos page:

import React from 'react';
import { Button, ScrollView, View, Text, StyleSheet, TouchableHighlight } from 'react-native';
import { DrawerNavigator } from 'react-navigation';
import MaterialIcons from 'react-native-vector-icons/MaterialIcons';
import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome'

const MyNavScreen = ({ navigation }) => (
  <View>
    <View style={styles.containerNavbar}>
      <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('DrawerOpen')}>
        <Icon name="bars" size={30} color="#fff" />
      </TouchableHighlight>
      <Text style={styles.navbarTitle}>Photos</Text>
    </View>

    <ScrollView>
      <View><Text>photo</Text></View>
      <Button onPress={() => navigation.goBack(null)} title="Go back" />
    </ScrollView>
  </View>
);

const MyPhotosHomeScreen = ({ navigation }) => (
  <MyNavScreen navigation={navigation} />
);
MyPhotosHomeScreen.navigationOptions = {
  title: 'Photos',
  drawerIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (
    <MaterialIcons
      name="photo"
      size={24}
      style={{ color: tintColor }}
    />
  ),
};
export default MyPhotosHomeScreen;

mainScreen:

export default class MainScreen extends React.Component {
    static navigationOptions = {
        drawerLabel: 'Home',
        drawerIcon: ({ tintColor }) => (
            <MaterialIcons
                name="home"
                size={24}
                style={{ color: tintColor }}
            />
        )
    };

    render() {
        return (
            <View>
                <View style={styles.containerNavbar}>
                    <TouchableHighlight onPress={() => this.props.navigation.navigate('DrawerOpen')}>
                        <Icon name="bars" size={30} color="#fff" />
                    </TouchableHighlight>
                    <Text style={styles.navbarTitle}>mainScreen</Text>
                </View>

                <View>
                    <View style={styles.containerFooter}>
                        <Text style={styles.footerTitle}>Footer</Text>
                    </View>
                </View>
            </View>

        )
    }
}

If you are using navigation in child component don't forget to send navigation in props to child

    <ChildComponent navigation={this.props.navigation}/>

Access in child component like this

    props.navigation.navigate("ScreenName")
