How to close UI Kitten modal on back button press in android?

Question

But the problem is I did't find anything like onRequestClose prop like the React Native provides for the modal. Nothing mentioned on their API also.

So is there anything like I can close the modal on back button press?

But how can I set the `visible` to false, when the back button is pressed? — Kamal Hossain, Feb 12 '21 at 09:13
You can detect the back button press using the `backhandler`. The documentation mentions how we can run a method when the user presses the back button https://reactnative.dev/docs/backhandler, you can set visibility here. — nipuna-g, Feb 12 '21 at 10:09
I tried using `backHandler` in modal, but it will override the `backHandler` set previously in the screen. After the modal is closed, when I press back button again the screen will still trigger close modal. — Billy Chrisnawan Adhyaksa, Nov 25 '21 at 06:23
