# React Native SDK: Activation methods

Configure how users activate feedback reporting with the Gleap React Native SDK. Follow the integration code examples.

Configure mobile activation methods under Settings → Widget → Look → Launcher → Other ways to open. Use the Shake gesture and Screenshot gesture switches, or set supported methods in your app as shown below.

The current available activation methods are:

-   Shake _(triggered when shaking the device)_
    
-   Screenshot _(triggered when a screenshot is taken)_
    

Need a more customized activation method? No worries! You can always [open the Gleap widget by code](https://gleap-developer-docs.gleap.help/en/articles/522-react-native-sdk-widget-control) as well.

### Set activation methods by code

Some situations require you to set the activation methods by code. This can be done with the following method.

```javascript
Gleap.setActivationMethods(['SCREENSHOT', 'SHAKE']);
```

> **Info:** Please note that this method is available since ReactNative SDK version 6.4.2
