How do I add emoticons to textview and edittext in android studio?

Question

I have tried the methods posted online, but they use external libraries. Is there a way to do it natively?

It's easy. Look at this implementation. There's a function which converts the unicode emoji into char so you can append it to the string being displayed in your textview/edittext.

        # This is in oncreate

          int unicode=0x1F600;
          String emoji= getEmoji(unicode);

        # Our new function

          public String getEmoji(int uni)
          {
              return new String(Character.toChars(uni));
          }
