[feature] possibility of adding emojis solution

[bhavin192]

so we can add emoji support to lightbulb we have to get the unicode string of it (i.e.U+xxxxx) just find the xxxxx and show the image xxxxx.jpg from e:\resource\emoji

all emoji images are already extracted by Cahjoss for messaging skins.

Also this is implemented in App BB aututext so it's possible. http://forum.dailymobile.net/forums/symbian-3-applications/96194-bb-autotext-belle.html

Could you try just replacing a unicode char with path? Just try it with one emoji, I don't know the subject well.

replacing each character is not easy thing :( there are 800 emojis

instead finding unicode and replacing that is easy. You can see this in qml files of BB autotext.

Sure, but unicode character doesn't have to be emoji, it can be ą, ę, ó, etc. (symbols, international chars)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it have a list file of all emojis? I could just implement parsing this file, that's what I actually planned. It's formatted in a way: [symbol];[code];[description]. I could load all this stuff to QMap and use it for replacing.

[bhavin192]

Yup we are not going to replace all unicodes. As you said list of files used by him. Should we ask for permission to use his files ? (just formality) He is not against of using his files that's why he kept qml there

[ksiazkowicz]

We should, of course.

I found his facebook profile. It was easy :P https://www.facebook.com/Cahjoss

ask him by messaging ;)

Any update on this ?? ;)

[ksiazkowicz]

I haven't asked him yet. Emoji support isn't really a priority to me.
