You can dismiss the keyboard by using Keyboard.dismiss. 

import { Keyboard } from 'react-native';
<Touchable onPress={Keyboard.dismiss}>...</Touchable>

If you're using a ScrollView you'll need to set keyboardShouldPersistTaps prop to true.

Working perfectly!
@oblador did you mean this one: react-native-dismiss-keyboard when you wrote from 'dismissKeyboard'?
What if we are using a FlatList inside ?
