I am developing android chat application and I want to add emoji button that if the user clicks on it open a page that contains all emojis (similar to Whatsapp Emoji page or telegram Emoji page), is there a library or JAR that provide all emojis ?? or Should I Implement them hard-coded in my application?
This page is what I want to implement:
emojicon can be used but is discontinued, so, for now, this emojiCompat can be used which is latest and this is from google so no need to worry about any problems.. :)

I am currently making a messenger app for android, and I just added emoticons. Now, I looked at the WhatsApp UI and I realized that they use the iOS emoticons for everything (even the ActionBar) and I was wondering how they had done this.
Is it possible to change Android's emoji texture atlas just for my app or something like that, and if so, where can I get these iOS emoticons and how do I implement that? Or do I have to write my own TextView / EditText / ... and my own emoji keyboard for it to look like WhatsApp's?
Thanks
Edit: I found out that there is an "Apple Color Emoji.ttf" without license that supports these emojis. Can I use this on android?
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.
How can I add an icon next to the search orb, just as displayed below? I'd like to display a login page when the user clicks on the icon.
You can't, if you want to use the standard widgets offered by the Leanback library, such as BrowseFragment.
There is a way of creating your own version of the BrowseFragment widget, so that it is fully customizable and you can add as many buttons as you like, but it is definitely not easy to do. I've written a series of posts on this subject, which you can find here:
Building for Android TV
There is also a demo project that already gives you a starting point for the custom interface. The code can be found on this GitHub repo (episode_4 is probably what you're looking for).
I am working on an Android chatting application. I need to show, a smileys or emoji's keyboard, like that of 'Whats App'. Is there any such default keyboard for Android? If yes, how do I implement it?
This largely depends on what the user currently has installed. I use SwiftKey on my phone so I have the ability to use the Emoji's. If you are willing to put in the effort to create your own Emoji keyboard then toobsco42 has a great basic explanation of the process as well as a link to a repo that you can use.
i would say start by getting the font with all the unicode charset for your application and render them in an layout invoked on the button in your input field.
One of the website to create custom fonts : icomoon.io
I want to create an app where users can exchange messages. The app will be for both IOS and Android. I know IOS supports Emoticons but android does not. The problem I am facing is if an ios user wants to talk to an ios user emoticons will be displayed, but if an ios user talks to an android user the emoticons will not show up. I had an idea to create a single image of many emoticons and then when an android user clicks on a part of the image it would get the x, y coordinated and then send use that image. This would work because I would map all these android custom emoticons to an ios emoticon. The problem is what if IOS changes its emoticons during an update, I would need to create all new emoticons and remap them, as well users who do not update the app after my changes will not receive the benefit and this would cause inconsistency. Is there any easier approach to this type of problem?
Emoticons are unicode characters so they won't change. Doesn't Android support the unicode plane containing the emoticon characters?
See the Wikipedia page, they are basically U+1F60F through U+1F64F.
