EmojiBottomSheetDialog

A nice Android bottom sheet dialog populated with AndroidX EmojiCompat supported emojis.

Usage

Add the dependency

dependencies {
    implementation("com.withplum:emojiBottomSheetDialog:<latest-version>)
}

Style customization

The appearance of the Bottom Sheet can be customised by providing a custom style like this example:

<resources>

    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/white</item>
        <item name="bottomSheetDialogTheme">@style/ModalBottomSheetDialog</item>
    </style>

    <style name="ModalBottomSheetDialog" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.BottomSheetDialog">
        <item name="colorSurface">@color/white</item>
        <item name="emojiBottomSheetTitleTextAppearance">@style/MyCustomEmojiBottomTitleTextAppearance</item>
        <item name="emojiBottomSheetSectionHeaderTextAppearance">@style/MyCustomEmojiBottomSheetSectionHeaderTextAppearance
        </item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyCustomEmojiBottomTitleTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Headline6">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/greyDark</item>
    </style>

    <style name="MyCustomEmojiBottomSheetSectionHeaderTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Body1">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/greyMid</item>
    </style>
</resources>

The title and section headers can be styled by providing custom text appearances in the style.

Element	Attribute	Default value
Title	emojiBottomSheetTitleTextAppearance	@style/TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Headline6
Section Header	emojiBottomSheetSectionHeaderTextAppearance	TextAppearance.MaterialComponents.Body1
Background	colorSurface	?android:attr/colorSurface

Initialize the dialog

    private fun initializeEmojiCategoriesPreferred() {
        emojiItemViewList = EmojiCategoryTransformer().transform(initializeEmojiCategoryList())
    }

    private fun initializeEmojiCategoryList(): List<Category> {
        return listOf(
            ActivitiesCategory(getString(R.string.activitiesCategoryTitle)),
            AnimalsNatureCategory(getString(R.string.animalsAndNatureTitle)),
            FoodDrinkCategory(getString(R.string.foodAndDrinkTitle)),
            FlagsCategory(getString(R.string.flagsTitle)),
            ObjectsCategory(getString(R.string.objectsTitle)),
            SmileysPeopleCategory(getString(R.string.smileysAndPeopleTitle)),
            SymbolsCategory(getString(R.string.symbolsTitle)),
            TravelPlacesCategory(getString(R.string.travelAndPlacesTitle))
        )
    }

    private fun showEmojiDialog() {
        EmojiPickerDialog.Builder(this@MainActivity, emojiItemViewList)
            .dismissWithAnimation(true)
            .title(getString(R.string.emojiDialogTitle))
            .cancelable(true)
            .listener(object : EmojiClickListener {
                override fun emojiClicked(unicode: EmojiItemView) {
                    selectedEmoji.text = unicode.value
                    selectedEmojiName.text = unicode.name
                }
            }).build().show()
    }

Breaking changes of version 3.0.0

1. Certain APIs have become internal.
2. In version 3.0.0 the library uses Java 17. You'll have to add the following to your build file:

android {
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "17"
    }
}

Breaking changes of version 2.0.0

In version 2.0.0 we migrated to Emoji2. This results in the removal of:

• EmojiCompatUtils
• EmojInitListener
• EmojiValues which was mostly used internally.

Initialization now happens internally via the Emoji2. If you still need an initialization listener you should use the official API as described here. The whole document Support modern emoji - Android Developers provides further details.

The same document will help you if you rely on AppCompat version lower than 1.4.0-alpha01 or on the Emoji library itself which provides these custom views for compatibility.
