In your parent component pass a function to your RecorderScreen component that will send the necessary data up. Docs on lifting state up .

So in your parent you'd have something like:

setData = (data) => {
  // Set this to whatever you need it to be named
  this.setState({childData: data});
}

Then pass the function as a prop:

<RecorderScreen setData={this.setData} />

And finally, call it in the child however needed (If I'm following the code something like this):

 componentDidMount() {
    AudioRecorder.requestAuthorization().then(isAuthorised => {
      this.setState({hasPermission: isAuthorised});
      AudioRecorder.onFinished = data => {
        this.props.setData(data);
      };
    });
  }

Then your parent component will have access to the child's data that you have lifted up.
