I have an older version of Android. Lots of the emojis in my keyboard are not visible in my phone. I can send them, recieve them, but all I see is a cross with box on all around.
I wanna know if there's any way that I can add support for the newest emoji's to my device
I tried to download fonts, but couldn't manage to add them to my system.

I would like create app with custom badge number in app icon, like in facebook app: App icon in home screen shows pending/unread notifications. How to set custom badge number programatically in android. I've seen similar questions in stack with answers like it "doesn't support in stock android". Seen many answers and were old. I think they were for old versions. Is it possible in newer versions of android? If possible how to add customized badge number ? If the option is still doesn't support by android ignore this question and please let me know it. I'm developing kind of confidential app, so that i couldn't use third part libs. Is there any inbuilt methods to handle badges or possible to create badge?
There is popular github that works app icon badges for most Android devices. Sure still some platform, some devices didn't support that. But those libraries almost cover all of the devices that support app icon badges.

So to your question, No.
Because Android framework didn't define the app notification badges before.(I am not sure if Android default framework have it now. I've been search the keyword of BADGE_COUNT_UPDATE in the ASOP android7 and nothing found) So all those custom badges are made by device manufacturer framework developer.
You can check how they setup badges numbers for each manufacturer here

To another question. I use keyword badge to search the ASOP source code and didn't find any noticeable part about app icon badges. And even there is one inbuilt framework method about this after certain version of android. The framework still cannot cover all the devices before the certain version. So not quite sure what do you mean by confidential app, but using libraries is the first choice to cover most android devices based on the real situation like this.
I am stuck with one of my client requirement , it seems not be feasible to me as i am not able to find anything related to this particular requirement.I am goggling but does not came up with proper clue.I though studied the below mentioned link which states that it is not supportive . Here is the link :-
How to force a widget to appear on lock screen programmatically (Android)
i just want to confirm that is it feasible ? Or this can be achieved by making custom lock screen for application.
Here is what my client requirement is :-
I need your suggestion here , please let me know .
Thanks

As I wrote in the answer to the question that you linked to, the standard Android lockscreen framework only supports app widgets from Android 4.1 through 4.4, which is a steadily shrinking portion of the Android device ecosystem.
Or this can be achieved by making custom lock screen for application.
Android does not support the creation of custom lockscreens, other than by building your own modified version of Android, poured into your own custom ROM, installed onto whatever hardware your custom ROM supports.
There are plenty of developers who claim to create custom lockscreens. Those actually require you to disable the device lockscreen, then their apps attempt to interpose themselves between the user and ordinary apps. At the best of times, this offers weaker security.
I'm using Delphi 10.1 Berlin for developing mobile application and when I have used the Edit box in android, I'm not getting the text movable icon in Edit box. How can I enable this to move the text in edit box for Android mobile and for iOs mobile app. With this I have attached the snap shot of the sample which I required. And also Copy, Paste, Select All options are also not displaying in edit Box. Please help me to resolve this issue. And thanks in advance.
FireMonkey controls are not Android controls so do not get the standard Android features of the equivalent controls. You will need to either find a 3rd party control that implements an equivalent capability or implement it yourself.
Otherwise you will have to wait until Embarcadero get around to supporting native controls on Android. This is on the roadmap for 2018, but bear in mind that this is no guarantee that it will actually be delivered in that timeframe.
I want to build a plugin with custom Emoji pack, so when a user will download and install it he could use my custom Emoji.
My Emoji will be very different from the known Emoji and I do realize
that user without my plugin won't be able to see my custom Emoji's.
I tried to use the most popular Emoji's app in Google play like:
Kika Emoji Keyboard
But the experience is very bad, the emoji just look different on the keyboard but when I used them in an app like whatsapp they look the same as the built in ones..
So, my question is:
How can i build a custom plugin with my custom Emoji pack so when a user will install it he could use my Emoji's together with the regular Emoji's?
Thanks.
you can use your custom emojis within your app but you can't use those in other apps as custom unicodes are not supported by android unless you use within your app.For instance most of the emojis supported by Skype are not supported by another apps.
I want to be able to send messages between android and ios devices with the use of emojis.
I know the new android 4.4 supports emoji now but I want to support older devices (2.1 and up).
How do apps like whatsapp allow emojis to be written and viewed even though it is not supported? The only way I could think to accomplish this task is to create custom emojis by creating an image of many emojis and then using the x,y coordinates to get which emoji was selected. The issues with this could be copyright and then when new emojis come out I will always have to update the image and if a user doesn't download the new image they will still have the old emojis and won't be able to view the new ones.
So is there another way of doing this to allow ios emojis to be sent to android and vice versa?
Your custom approach could work. Just add another layer of abstraction -- download the emoji from a central server. Cache it locally. Periodically check to see if there is a new version, and download it. Because it'll remain really simple, old versions of the app will still be able to download and use new emoji whenever you update it.
That is a technical solution to your problem that'll support both platforms. Any copyright concerns are kind of off topic, and very specific to the set of emoji you end up deciding to use.
A large set of emoji have been added to the Unicode standard. So, they're basically just characters you could show with a font. For modern devices, a default font (with new OpenType color support) will be used to show emoji. For older devices, you could simply create your own font or use open source emoji designs and show them in old school black 'n white.
