Android Question EditText: onKeyUp?

[LucaMs]

Is there a method to know the cursor position in an EditText when an user "scrolls" and release it?

[Like Whatsapp, for example: you can move the cursor and insert an emoticon]

1. Emojis are regular characters.
2. The SelectionStart property will return the cursor position. You can use it to insert characters.

I'm trying to use this DonManfred's wrapper.
If I used "regular characters" I think I should use "special" font files.

2. The SelectionStart property will return the cursor position. You can use it to insert characters.

But I need an event to now when the selection start changes.

Thank you, Erel

No, it is enough to get the selection start when user "selects" (clicks) the character to insert.

The standard font does support emojis: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-solution-for-display-emoji-in.61083/#content

I know that thread, and I tried (months ago) but it seems that there are few "image characters" available; all of these (more than 800) should be available, or am I wrong?

I got only these:

This means that only these characters are included in the default font
