Description

While making an App for Android TV, in a Component, the TVEventHandler is getting initialised and events are being logged in the console. In the Component there is a Button and Flatlist and the both the Button and Flatlist items which have TouchableOpacity are getting focussed on D Pad but if we move the same components to Modal in the same Component, all the items onfocus events are triggered. Also the TVEventHandler is not logging in th console the events while using D Pad.

Steps To Reproduce

Provide a detailed list of steps that reproduce the issue.

1. Use a Component with Flatlist with Items having TouchableOpacity and a TouchableOpacity encapsulated button.
2. Initialise the TVEventHandler to log in console the D Pad events.
3. The console will log properly the events and focus will also move correctly.
4. Now shift the components in Modal within the same Component.
5. No TVEventHandler events will be logged in the console and all items of the Flatlist will trigger onfocus events. On D Pad being used, no onfocus events are triggered and focus does not move.

Expected Results

In the Modal too, the behaviour should have been identical what we get without a Modal
