USE EMOTICON (emoji) LIBRARY IN ANDROID APP

USE EMOJI LIBRARY IN YOUR ANDROID APP

1> first download the zip from github named ankushSachdeva emoji library.

2> import library File>new Modoule> import gradle project>select lib
here you have to select lib folder because it will show error while importing whole extracted folder.

3> if gradle showig error like "sdk must be updated or anything else"
       simply upadate gradle files inside emoji library  TargetSdk,
       CompliledSdkVersion, buildToolVersion, minSdkVersion as same
       it is in your app build.gradle.
       
         
4> when you'll change all above versions etc it will show you red line below 
dependency in lib build.gradle simply press alt+enter and select 3rd option it will look like this.

//noinspection GradleCompatible
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.+'

5> Use EmojiconEdittext insted of EditText and EmojiconTextView in place of TextView, thats it. And a button to show emoji popup.


6> changes that have to made at this lib are ,MainActiviy.java

emojiButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {


            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                //If popup is not showing => emoji keyboard is not visible, we need to show it
//
                //IF POPUP IS SHOWING, SIMPLY DISMISS IT TO SHOW THE UNDELYING TEXT KEYBOARD
                if (popup.isShowing()) {
                    popup.dismiss();
                    final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    inputMethodManager.showSoftInputFromInputMethod(emojiconEditText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

                } else {

                    final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(emojiconEditText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);

                    changeEmojiKeyboardIcon(emojiButton, R.drawable.ic_action_keyboard);
                    popup.showAtBottom();

//                    emojiconEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
//                    emojiconEditText.requestFocus();


                }
            }
        });



b> Add This code into onCreate method of mainactivity.java

popup.setOutsideTouchable(true);
        popup.setFocusable(true);
        popup.getContentView().setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
        popup.getContentView().setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
                if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
                    popup.dismiss();
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });



c> delete  onSoftKeyboardListener method implementation from                           EmojiPopup in mainactivity.java.


d> Inside EmojiconPopup.java constructor change

I>setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
II>public void showAtBottom(){
showAtLocation(rootView, Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, -1);
}
