Multiple Select & Disable Backdrop

[tragicmj]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My application has a chat screen, so every time I want to select multiple emojis, I cannot as the picker closes as soon as I select one emoji. In addition to that, I am unable to scroll my chat when it is open.

Describe the solution you'd like Ability to select multiple emojis and disable the backdrop to scroll chat.

Hi, thank you for choosing our library. An ideal solution to your problem would be to use static EmojiKeyboard (which is already done) instead of EmojiPicker. You can import that from library and use it in similar way like EmojiPicker Here is a short example of usage

import { EmojiKeyboard } from 'rn-emoji-keyboard'
const StaticKeyboard = () => {
      // rest of code
      return (
         <View>
            <EmojiKeyboard onEmojiSelected={handlePick} />
         </View>
      )
}

And here is a full example https://github.com/TheWidlarzGroup/rn-emoji-keyboard/blob/master/example/src/Static/Static.tsx
