Example

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              xmlns:emojicon="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
              android:layout_width="match_parent"
              android:layout_height="match_parent"
              android:orientation="vertical">

    <com.rockerhieu.emojicon.EmojiconTextView
            android:id="@+id/txtEmojicon"
            android:text="I \ue32d emojicon"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    <com.rockerhieu.emojicon.EmojiconEditText
            android:id="@+id/editEmojicon"
            android:text="I \ue32d emojicon"
            emojicon:emojiconSize="28sp"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <fragment
            android:id="@+id/emojicons"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="220dp"
            class="com.rockerhieu.emojicon.EmojiconsFragment"/>
</LinearLayout>

Building in IntelliJ

Via Gradle:

dependencies {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url 'https://github.com/rockerhieu/mvn-repo/raw/master/'
        }
    }

    compile 'com.rockerhieu.emojicon:library:<VERSION>'
}

Building in Eclipse

This project depends on the Android V4 Support Library for using Fragment, so you have to import it into your workspace. Copy the jar file from /Android_SDK/extras/android/compitibility/v4/ to the libs folder of the project.

Next, you'll need to install the Eclipse Integration Gradle Plugin. and restart Eclipse.

You can then import the Emojicon project by doing File/Import/Gradle/Gradle Project and the clicking the Browse button to point to the Emojicon directory. Click on Build Model, and then you can put a checkbox next to "example" and finish the import. This will show up as "example" in your Eclipse workspace. You can rename it by right clicking on it and choosing Refactor/Rename.

If it complains that "/gen already exists but is not a source folder", right click on the gen folder and then BuildPath/SourceFolder.
