Display \u00F0\u009F\u0098\u0098 string to emoji in android textview?

Question

str = videoname.get(i);
    String toServer = str;
    String toServerUnicodeEncoded = StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(toServer);
    viewHolder.textss.setText(toServerUnicodeEncoded);
    Log.e("emos",toServerUnicodeEncoded);

I am retrieving a string from URL using volley and the string contains emojis in it which I want to display in Android TextView. So for that, I have taken the string then passed it in StringEscapeUtils.escapeJava(toServer) and after that I am getting the emoji in "\u00F0\u009F\u0098\u0098" form, Instead of "\uD83D\uDE18" form . So how to display emoji in textview?

Yes I did but my emoji is \u00F0\u009F\u0098\u0098 like this — Pooja Pachchigar, Mar 28 '18 at 05:29
How can I convert it to unicode or \uD83D\uDE18 in this format??? — Pooja Pachchigar, Mar 28 '18 at 05:29
Seems like prblem is at line no. 3 Check what is actual string & escapeJava() really doing the same or not https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/javadocs/api-2.6/org/apache/commons/lang/StringEscapeUtils.html — VVB, Mar 28 '18 at 05:38

String title = new String(c.getString("title").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), "UTF-8");

While Parsing the response I used this now instead of:

String title = String(c.getString("title");

This solved my emoji issue.

This worked for me , Try this.

Import this library

implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.4'

Then use its method to convert String(emoji code) to Emoji to show in TextView

textView.setText(StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(string_value));

Eg:-

Input String :- "\ud83d\ude01"

Result:-

You need to unescape your escaped String.

You can use StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(String) to unescape it.

The problem is fully explained here.

If i'll unescape the escaped string then I am getting some square type images in the place of emojis – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 28 '18 at 06:41
Are you sure your font supports Emojis? That might be the issue. – Adib Faramarzi Mar 28 '18 at 06:57
Yes I have used android.support.text.emoji.widget.EmojiTextView – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 28 '18 at 06:57
U mean I have to use typeface – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 28 '18 at 06:58
Yes the default typeface might not support your emojis. You can use the Calliigraphy library for android for changing the typeface in the whole app. – Adib Faramarzi Mar 28 '18 at 07:19

You don't need to convert it to unicode directly use that string code like

 TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt);
        txt.setText("\u00F0");

for more unicide code check this URL

Hope this helpful to you.

This is html encoding string. Check code:

String txt = "\u00F0\u009F\u0098\u0098";
tvHihiView.setText(Html.fromHtml(txt));
