How to navigate from one screen to another in React native?

When I click on Sign Up button I want to navigate to Sign up page but it did not work. I have imported the screens and navigated screen also to app.js file. I am getting an ReferenceError : Can’t find variable: navigation. Also I am unable to insert background image? Below is the Sign Up page.

import React from 'react';
import { StyleSheet,ImageBackground,Text, View, TextInput, TouchableOpacity } from   'react-native';
let bgImage='../../resources/images/bg2.png'
export default class LoginScreen extends React.Component {
      state={
        email:"",
        password:"",
      }
      render(){
        return (
        <View style={styles.container}>
            <Text style={styles.logo}>Trollo</Text>
           <View style={styles.box}>
            <View style={styles.inputView} >
              <TextInput
                style={styles.inputText}
                placeholder="Email"
                placeholderTextColor="#808080"
                onChangeText={text => this.setState({email:text})}/>
            </View>
            <View style={styles.inputView} >
              <TextInput
                secureTextEntry
                style={styles.inputText}
                placeholder="Password"
                placeholderTextColor="#808080"
                onChangeText={text => this.setState({password:text})}/>
           </View>
            <TouchableOpacity style={styles.loginBtn}>
               <Text style={styles.loginText}>SIGN IN</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>
            <TouchableOpacity>
              <Text style={styles.forgot}>Forgot Password?</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>
           </View>
            <Text style={styles.text1}>New Here?</Text>
            <TouchableOpacity style={styles.signupBtn} onPress = {(navigation) => navigation.navigate('Sign Up')}>
              <Text style={styles.loginText}>SIGN UP</Text>
            </TouchableOpacity>
            <Text style={styles.logoText}>Trollo</Text>
        </View>
        );
      }
    }


});

Answer

onPress handler does not getting called with navigation as the first parameter. That is undefined. navigation is a prop to your class component which is provided by stack navigator setup.

Instead of

onPress = {(navigation) => navigation.navigate('Sign Up')}

use

onPress = {() => this.props.navigation.navigate('Sign Up')}
