Open emoji keyboard layout on editText click - android

I want to let the user only type emojis in an editText field. Is there a way to instantly show the emoji keyboard of the android keyboard when you click on a editText field?
Right now I helped myself with the android:inputType="textShortMessage" The problem here is, I always have to push the emoji icon in the bottom corner to open the emoji keyboard.
Does anybody have a clue? Thanks in advance! :)

keyboard.It displays me what ever text i type using the keyboard. Is
there a option to hide that text area on keyboard.
Kindly help me in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I think you are talking about Auto Suggestion. Add the following code to your edit text in the layout file.
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
or in the code, you can use it like this,
setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
also you'd better read this

Solution if you speak about auto-focus on edittext:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);

you can also use EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD);
in your code.With the following code,one can stop the suggestions coming automatically from soft keyboard when you click on EditText
