How to add custom emote icon? - android

I am trying to create an android instant messaging app for a school. So I had downloaded Telegram's app code from github.I was wondering how I could add more emote icons to it, so that I could make few new sets of icons and add it to the existing ones. Or can you tell me how to add custom emoji's to the code.
I couldn't find any tutorial online.

You should upload your code, so we can see what it is about.
Also provide a link to download the project from github.
You also need to know the basic of Photoshop. If you want to
create custom icons you rreally need to know how thinks work.

you can find the Emoji's Map, and extend it with your Emojis, Entry Should look like:
sEmojisMap.put(0x1f354, R.drawable.emoji_1f354);
it's little complex to deal with . but this link mey help:

Icon Next to the Search Orb in Android TV App

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).

Android QuickActions? PopupMenu? Popup Window?

Can't find information on how to add to this element, Android

[SOLVED = I can't add to it, it's based on the active ROM]
Sorry for the vague questioning, I wasn't sure quite how to create it.
I'm wanting to add toggle buttons, or at least other elements into this part of android;
I can't find any documents on how to add to this element of Android, and I'm wondering if we actually can? Does anyone know what this element is even called and can link me to the appropriate android doc?
Thanks!
This is an application that ships with Android, hence you cannot change its behavior. It has a predefined set of elements that can be present on it. If you want to create a custom version of it, you will need to create a custom ROM.
This looks similar to the quick settings screen on my Samsung and it created by the phone manufacturer. You could create a custom ROM, but I don't think this is what you really want.
The closest I think you can get is the notification bar, which can use a custom layout:

Also Take a look at the WatchOn app, which has a relatively complex control embedded into the notification screen:

Enhancing Help option in my android application

I need to add help menu in my android application to help users know about the app for first time when they start Should show pop up screen like this
well, I can do this by adding such images but Is there any library or sample project available that I can use to achieve this!
here is developers link down there is a semi transparent image
What needs to happen is getting the locations of the relevant views and pass them, in an intent, to a help activity with a transparent background. Luckily, there is an open source library for this. Check out ShowcaseView . It is what you are looking for.

Creating a search bar

I want to create a search bar just like the one in the twitter app. Is this possible?
I think this is what you are looking for:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/index.html
Mainly it's a well designed view. Their designers created the images and it was put together in a view.
The application is supposed to go open source, not sure if they did yet, but once it does you could look exactly how they did it.
