An Android library that renders emoji in TextView, EditText, and other text widgets, with an emoji picker fragment, similar to WhatsApp's emoji experience. It is officially discontinued in favor of Android's EmojiCompat.

Use cases

  • display emojis in android text views
  • add emoji keyboard picker to android app
  • render emoji in edittext like whatsapp
  • emojify text in android ui
  • custom emoji size and alignment in android text

When to choose

  • maintaining a legacy Android app already using emojicon
  • targeting very old Android versions without EmojiCompat support
  • you need a simple drop-in emoji TextView and picker fragment

When to avoid

  • starting a new Android project - use EmojiCompat instead
  • you need actively maintained emoji rendering or recent Unicode versions
  • you need emoji support beyond Android text widgets
