Apps Android Softkeyboard ( emoticons)

[HelloWorld]

I'm developing a custom softkeyboad with emoticons (smilies) .. My question is what method should I use to display the emoticons in the editText when the user click on an emoji key of the softkeyboard

... ( BTW i tried to use SpannableStringBuilder with getCurrentInputConnection().commitText(here the spannableStringBuilder with the emoticons in it); but the emoticons doesn't appear .. why????
or i should create a custom .ttf???
please help me

I think one thing you could try is overlaying an imageview using relative layouts.

Also, please do not PM me questions, I try to help everyone here, but I can not help each person individually.

Good luck

You're going to have to figure a lot of it out yourself, but this can help you understand how relative layouts work:

Attaching a sticky (fixed) header/footer to an Android ListView occasionally useful
