I am building an Android app for OS level kitkat and above.
I want to open keyboard with default emojicons on button click.
Can I show keyboard with direct emojicon layout?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know whether it is possible to directly open emoji keyboard you can refer some emoji keyboard library

I have found this library for emoticons in android:-
https://github.com/ankushsachdeva/emojicon
In this, I am having a problem how to combine this code with my android soft keyboard or how do I deploy the emojicons tab on button click.
Note that I don't have any main activity as it is just a keyboard app.
I have almost same code as that of Android Soft Keyboard here:-
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development/+/master/samples/SoftKeyboard/src/com/example/android/softkeyboard/SoftKeyboard.java
I have to do this just like it is done in Kika Keyboard.
You should bind any keyboard key with inflation and replacement of a view with emoji pane.
Then send a proper unicode (emoji) to the InputConnection.
In my application I have a two buttons which will change the soft input keyboard style to TextMode and Emoji mode. If I press the TextMode button , it should change the keyboard style to text mode , similarly Emoji mode button will open keyboard with emoji mode. I've given the screenshot of my requirement
on click of TextMode button (Aa)
on click of Emoji mode button :)
Is it possible to programatically change the keyboard mode? How can I achieve this?
Try this library -

Hope it will help :)
Is there any way to programatically hide the emoticon key in kitkat keyboard? I have marked the key in the image given below.
I need to remove this icon from the keyboard displayed when I tap an edit text in my application. Can anybody help?
1)
Do a long press on the button you marked in your picture. There should pop up a small window.
Hit Input languages and deselect Emoji / Emoticons / ....
2)
If the first way does not work, download the android kitkat keyboard and use this instead of your current keyboard.
Is it possible to change the background color of soft keyboard when it popups on screen. That is having full control of the native android keyboard and customized it at will.
No, you can not change background color of android soft keyboard while it pops up. For that you have to make you own soft keyboard.
And if you want to customize android native key board then you can do it. Take source code of LatinIME from Android repository and modify it by taking care of Open source licence.
