Hi,

does anybody know how to allow to user to add a png icon to a text being entered by user? For example, the user is typing a text ant wants to add a image/emoticon (or more) in the typing box... how to do that? Like whatsapp...

No... I would like to know the solution to add emojis "in line", while the user is typing in an edittext view, and after show this emojis between text characters in a chat balloon (label view???) ... like whatsapp: you can choose and see the images (icons/emojis), put them between the characters of the text that you're typing and when pressing send see them exactly what you typed...
For me looks that in the type area is a edittext view and in chat showing area are labels (in a listview, ok) , but I can't figure out how to use images/emojis between the text characters/letters... do you know how to do that @Peter Simpson ? Is there some system "parse" that translates sequences of letters to emojis? If yes, how can I add emojis more than the android system availability? How does whatsapp has exclusive emojis?
Please, if you know how to do...
