Issue description

Current behavior:

There is no focusInput() in the current version.

Expected behavior:

I want to be able to focus the Input programmatically.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use a simple input
2. Assign the input to a ref
3. Call focusInput() on ref

Related code:

import React, { useRef, useImperativeHandle, forwardRef } from "react";
import {
  Input as KittenInput,
  InputProps as KittenInputProps
} from "react-native-ui-kitten";

interface Props {}
export type InputProps = Props & KittenInputProps;

const InputComponent: React.FC<InputProps> = (props, ref) => {
  const inputRef = useRef();

  useImperativeHandle(ref, () => ({
    focus: () => {
      console.log("focus", inputRef.current.refs);
      inputRef.current.focusInput();
    }
  }));

  return <KittenInput ref={inputRef} {...props} />;
};

export const Input = forwardRef(InputComponent);

You are welcome! Thank’s for the quick response time. We’re switching from native-base to ui-kitten and we’re very excited about your framework. We’re on the verge of using it in production. 😃

Looks like this is a global problem, related not only to an Input but for all components 😱 Working on this. Thanks again
