EmojiCompat

public class EmojiCompat
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.support.text.emoji.EmojiCompat


Main class to keep Android devices up to date with the newest emojis by adding EmojiSpans to a given CharSequence. It is a singleton class that can be configured using a EmojiCompat.Config instance.

EmojiCompat has to be initialized using init(EmojiCompat.Config) function before it can process a CharSequence.

EmojiCompat.init(/* a config instance */);

It is suggested to make the initialization as early as possible in your app. Please check EmojiCompat.Config for more configuration parameters.

During initialization information about emojis is loaded on a background thread. Before the EmojiCompat instance is initialized, calls to functions such as process(CharSequence) will throw an exception. You can use the EmojiCompat.InitCallback class to be informed about the state of initialization.

After initialization the get() function can be used to get the configured instance and the process(CharSequence) function can be used to update a CharSequence with emoji EmojiSpans.

CharSequence processedSequence = EmojiCompat.get().process("some string")
