  const [showModal, setShowModal] = useState(false);
  const [emoji, setEmoji] = useState("");
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>

      <Button
        title="Show Emojis Modal 😁"
        onPress={() => {
          setShowModal(true);
        }}
      />
      {showModal && (
        <EmojiModal
          onPressOutside={() => setShowModal(false)}
          onEmojiSelected={(emoji) => {
            setShowModal(false);
            setEmoji(emoji);
          }}
        />

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
