Usage

You may use the code in two ways - with input panel and without it.

Keyboard with input panel

your_activity.xml

Create container for input panel in your activity xml file

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/root_frame_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom"
    >
</FrameLayout>

YourActivity.java

private FrameLayout mFrameLayout;
private EmojiPanel mPanel;
private EmojiParser mParser;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.your_activity);

    mFrameLayout = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.root_frame_layout);

    //Create new panel, set the container in which the panel will be placed and set ClickCallback to receive Spanned string with emoji and path to sticker image.
    mPanel = new EmojiPanel(this, mFrameLayout, new EmojiPanel.EmojiClickCallback() {
        @Override
        public void sendClicked(Spannable span) {
            //do something with received Spannable with emoji
        }
        @Override
        public void stickerClicked(String path) {
           //do something with received path to Sticker image
        }
    });

    //Set default icons for buttons
    mPanel.iconsInit();

    //or if you need custom icons for buttons
    mPanel.iconsInit(R.drawable.ic_send_smile_levels, R.drawable.forward_blue);

    //initialise panel
    mPanel.init();

    //if you need parse Spannable from String with emoji
    mParser = mPanel.getParser();
    Spannable parsedString = mParser.parse(textView.getText().toString());
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    mPanel.dissmissEmojiPopup();
}

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    if(mPanel.isEmojiAttached()) {
        mPanel.dissmissEmojiPopup();
    } else {
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

Create level-list xml to customize icons for smile/keyboard button in drawable

ic_send_smile_levels.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_msg_panel_kb" android:maxLevel="0"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/doc_blue" android:maxLevel="1"/>
</level-list>

These actions enough to enable you to use the keyboard.

Keyboard without input panel

To use keyboard see KeyboardActivity.java code in sample project

Current stickers

To add your own stickers on the keyboard you need to put them in a /assets/stickers/ directory
