# Android Emojify [![Release](https://jitpack.io/v/anitrend/android-emojify.svg)](https://jitpack.io/#anitrend/android-emojify) [![Codacy Badge](https://app.codacy.com/project/badge/Grade/6bace5612f8c4799ac86f104f5b2db0f)](https://www.codacy.com/gh/AniTrend/android-emojify/dashboard?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=AniTrend/android-emojify&utm_campaign=Badge_Grade) [![gradle-unit-test](https://github.com/AniTrend/android-emojify/actions/workflows/android-unit-test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/AniTrend/android-emojify/actions/workflows/android-test.yml)

This project is an android port of [vdurmont/emoji-java](https://github.com/vdurmont/emoji-java)
which is a lightweight java library that helps you use Emojis in your java applications re-written
in Kotlin, with some extra tweaks.

**This project is already being used in [AniTrend](https://anitrend.co/) and only aims to provide
emojis from [emojipedia](https://emojipedia.org/)**

- All class and function documentation on the **emojify** module can be
found [here](https://anitrend.github.io/android-emojify/)

- All supported emojis can be found [here](./SUPPORTED.md)

## Known Issues

- Converting of html entities to emojis may not always display the emoji on a given android device
if the target device does not have the suggested emoticons e.g. android 4.3 does not have some
emoticons available in android 5.0+

## Suggestions

- From v1.X the project was reworked and should be able to handle conversion from emoji to **
hexHtml**, **decHtml** or short codes on the main thread with a slight improvement on processing
speed (depending on the length of text of course),
however I would highly recommend moving all convention work to a background thread (
consider [Coroutines - Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coroutines/coroutines-guide.html))
between network requests for a smoother experience for your users (read up on the repository
pattern).
- If you are using a markdown library like [txtmark](https://github.com/rjeschke/txtmark)
, [markwon]([GitHub - noties/Markwon: Android markdown library (no WebView)](https://github.com/noties/Markwon))
or using just `Html.fromHtml()` you can skip the conversion of __HexHtml__ & __HtmlCodes__ to
emoji and just pass the
returned [Spanned](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/Spanned.html) from
whichever framework you're using. (See sample in project)

## Use Case

Trying to get emoji support in your application in a way that is both compatible with a browser and
mobile, you might even be trying to create a github client with reaction support? Then this library
is for you, your backend stores is the html entities or aliases in text and this library will take
care of everything for you.

## Getting Started

### Step 1. Add this to your root build.gradle:

```groovy
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
```

### Step 2. Add the dependencies:

You must use one of our artifacts `kotlinx`, `gson` or `moshi` for deserialization, this should match whatever library you want to use.
e.g.
```groovy
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.anitrend.android-emojify:emojify:{latest_version}'
implementation 'com.github.anitrend.android-emojify:contract:{latest_version}'
implementation 'com.github.anitrend.android-emojify:kotlinx:{latest_version}'
}
```

### Step 3. Create an application class in your android project and add:

Don't know how to do that?? Take a look at
the [application class example](./app/src/main/java/io/wax911/emojifysample/App.kt)

```kotlin
class App : Application() {

### Step4. Optional - Init EmojiManager with androidx-startup
```kotlin
class EmojiInitializer : Initializer {
private val serializer: IEmojiDeserializer = KotlinxDeserializer()

/**
* Initializes and a component given the application [Context]
*
* @param context The application context.
*/
override fun create(context: Context) = EmojiManager.create(context, serializer)

/**
* @return A list of dependencies that this [Initializer] depends on. This is
* used to determine initialization order of [Initializer]s.
*
* For e.g. if a [Initializer] `B` defines another
* [Initializer] `A` as its dependency, then `A` gets initialized before `B`.
*/
override fun dependencies() = emptyList>>()
}

class App : Application() {

/**
* Application scope bound emojiManager, you could keep a reference to this object in a
* dependency injector framework like as a singleton in `Hilt`, `Dagger` or `Koin`
*/
internal val startupEmojiManager: EmojiManager by lazy {
// should already be initialized if we haven't disabled initialization in manifest
// see: https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/app-startup#disable-individual
AppInitializer.getInstance(this)
.initializeComponent(EmojiInitializer::class.java)
}
}
```

**AndroidManifest.xml**
```xml

```

## Screenshots

## Examples:

### EmojiManager

The `EmojiManager` provides several instance methods to search through the emojis database:

* `getForTag` returns all the emojis for a given tag
* `getForAlias` returns the emoji for an alias
* `emojiList` list of all the emojis
* `isEmoji` checks if a string is an emoji

You can also query the metadata:

* `getAllTags` returns the available tags

Or get everything:

* `emojiList` list of all the emojis

### Emoji model

An `Emoji` is a data class, which provides the following methods:

* `unicode` the unicode representation of the emoji
* `description` the (optional) description of the emoji
* `aliases` a list of aliases for this emoji
* `tags` a list of tags for this emoji
* `htmlDec` an html decimal representation of the emoji
* `htmlHex` an html decimal representation of the emoji
* `supportsFitzpatrick` true if the emoji supports the Fitzpatrick modifiers, else false
* `getUnicode(fitzpatrick: Fitzpatrick?): String` Returns the unicode representation of the emoji
associated with the provided Fitzpatrick modifier.

### Fitzpatrick modifiers

Some emojis now support the use of Fitzpatrick modifiers that gives the choice between 5 shades of
skin tones:

| Modifier | Type |
|:--------:| -------- |
| 🏻 | type_1_2 |
| 🏼 | type_3 |
| 🏽 | type_4 |
| 🏾 | type_5 |
| 🏿 | type_6 |

We defined the format of the aliases including a Fitzpatrick modifier as:

```
:ALIAS|TYPE:
```

A few examples:

```
:boy|type_1_2:
:swimmer|type_4:
:santa|type_6:
```

###

### EmojiParser

Is a set of extension methods to act on `EmojiManager`, so given an instance of `EmojiManger` we can
achieve the following:

```kotlin
val emojiManager: EmojiManger = ...
```

#### To unicode

To replace all the aliases and the html representations found in a string by their unicode,
use `EmojiParser#parseToUnicode(String)`.

For example:

```kotlin
val str = "An :+1:awesome :smiley:string " + "😄with a few :wink:emojis!"
val result = emojiManager.parseToUnicode(str)
// An 😀awesome 😃string 😄with a few 😉emojis!
```

#### To aliases

To replace all the emoji's unicodes found in a string by their aliases,
use `EmojiParser#parseToAliases(String)`.

For example:

```kotlin
val str = "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few 😉emojis!"
val result = emojiManager.parseToAliases(str)
// "An :grinning:awesome :smiley:string with a few :wink:emojis!"
```

By default, the aliases will parse and include any Fitzpatrick modifier that would be provided. If
you want to remove or ignore the Fitzpatrick modifiers,
use `EmojiParser#parseToAliases(String, FitzpatrickAction)`. Examples:

```kotlin
val str = "Here is a boy: \uD83D\uDC66\uD83C\uDFFF!"
emojiManager.parseToAliases(str, FitzpatrickAction.PARSE)
// Returns twice: "Here is a boy: :boy|type_6:!"
emojiManager.parseToAliases(str, FitzpatrickAction.REMOVE)
// Returns: "Here is a boy: :boy:!"
emojiManager.parseToAliases(str, FitzpatrickAction.IGNORE)
// Returns: "Here is a boy: :boy:🏿!"
```

#### To html

To replace all the emoji's unicodes found in a string by their html representation,
use `EmojiParser#parseToHtmlDecimal(String)` or `EmojiParser#parseToHtmlHexadecimal(String)`.

For example:

```kotlin
val str = "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few 😉emojis!"
val resultHtmlDecimal = emojiManager.parseToHtmlDecimal(str)
// Returns:
// "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few 😉emojis!"

val resultHexadecimal = emojiManager.parseToHtmlHexadecimal(str)
// Returns:
// "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few 😉emojis!"
```

By default, any Fitzpatrick modifier will be removed. If you want to ignore the Fitzpatrick
modifiers, use `emojiManager.parseToAliases(String, FitzpatrickAction)`. Examples:

```kotlin
val str = "Here is a boy: \uD83D\uDC66\uD83C\uDFFF!"

emojiManager.parseToHtmlDecimal(str, FitzpatrickAction.PARSE)
emojiManager.parseToHtmlDecimal(str, FitzpatrickAction.REMOVE)
// Returns: "Here is a boy: 👦!"
emojiManager.parseToHtmlDecimal(str, FitzpatrickAction.IGNORE)
// Returns: "Here is a boy: 👦🏿!"
```

The same applies for the methods `emojiManager.parseToHtmlHexadecimal(String)`
and `emojiManager.parseToHtmlHexadecimal(String, FitzpatrickAction)`.

#### Remove emojis

You can easily remove emojis from a string using one of the following methods:

* `emojiManager.removeAllEmojis(String)`: removes all the emojis from the String
* `emojiManager.removeAllEmojisExcept(String, Collection)`: removes all the emojis from the
String, except the ones in the Collection
* `emojiManager.removeEmojis(String, Collection)`: removes the emojis in the Collection from
the String

For example:

```kotlin
val str = "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few 😉emojis!"
val collection = ArrayList()
collection.add(emojiManager.getForAlias("wink")); // This is 😉

emojiManager.removeAllEmojis(str);
emojiManager.removeAllEmojisExcept(str, collection);
emojiManager.removeEmojis(str, collection);

// Returns:
// "An awesome string with a few emojis!"
// "An awesome string with a few 😉emojis!"
// "An 😀awesome 😃string with a few emojis!"
```

#### Extract Emojis from a string

You can search a string of mixed emoji/non-emoji characters and have all of the emoji characters
returned as a Collection.

* `emojiManager.extractEmojis(String)`: returns all emojis as a Collection. This will include
duplicates if emojis are present more than once.
