replace emojipicker

[mahibi]

Android now offers an Emojipicker (currently alpha):
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/emoji2#emojipicker-1.0.0-alpha01

As we have some problems with
https://github.com/vanniktech/Emoji

the picker might be replaced.

• wait for stable release & try out

Looks like Stable version is now out https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/emoji2#1.3.0

As far as i see the emojipicker will only be included since v1.4.0 which is still beta:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/emoji2#1.4.0-beta01

the emojipicker from google is still in alpha state. Usually we avoid using alpha state libs so i suggest to wait a bit longer.

Sure
