Android Question Emoji by default on KK

[coslad]

Hi

I realized that i can write and read with a edittext view the emoticons , it is great , but it works only if the app where the edittext is inside runs on a Kitkat Device.
Is there a way to save the the text with the emoji in a file and read back on device with an os below 4.4 ?

The standard EditText and other text fields cannot show these icons. The only option is to use a custom EditText that shows the icons. There is no simple solution.

I found the solution using labelextra library , it works fine , now is there a place to download the free kitkat emoji image ?
