Let me summarize a lil bit, what I'm trying to do is when the news is clicked, a modal (in this case I used a library: react-native-modalize https://github.com/jeremybarbet/react-native-modalize) is presented with the respective details of the clicked news
In order for the content inside the modal to be dynamic, I used states to store the details, so whenever a click is registered on the news, a series of details is passed thru function parameters and store in the respective state
THE PROBLEM is that whenever a state on the top level is changed the whole component refresh itself, and it's causing problem like:
Scenario 1: when the user scroll until the end of the scroll view and pressed on one of the news, modal is brought up and because the state is being changed, the whole app refreshes and the scroll view jumps back to the top.
