Does handleInactivity need to be called in componentWillMount()?

[germainc]

In my current use case, I don't want onAction to fire when the component mounts. Could we add a prop that allows that call to be skipped? I'm guessing clearTimer and resetTimeout would have to be called instead.

Also, componentWillMount is deprecated so this should probably be moved to componentDidMount.

Hi, thank you for pointing out that componentWillMount is deprecated, I won't need it anymore since
I'm moving this package to hooks (#18).
At the moment, the package triggers the onAction property when the component mounts, which - I must admit - isn't the most intuitive behavior. So actually it would make more sense if I changed the package to prohibit triggering onAction at first-render time.
The new version of react-native-user-inactivity should be out the 13th August 2019

Hi, please check out the new version. You need to provide a custom timer to the library. In your case, just use any native background timer that works on Android too. Sorry for the delay, I just completed my bachelor's and my mind was elsewhere during these months.
