How can I create custom, animated emojis in B4A that display consistently across different Android devices, just like Telegram and WhatsApp?

Animated emojies is not an OS feature. It is app specific which means that you need to actually add the animated images. You can use animated gifs or PNGs for this.

Yes, that's correct. What about regular emojis? If you've seen them, Telegram and WhatsApp have a dedicated keyboard that only includes emojis, which makes the emoji appearance consistent across all devices and Android versions.

The Unicode Consortium standardizes standard emoji codepoints. For example:
  • is U+1F602
  • is U+1F40D

It is down to you or a library to provide the graphics. Telegram & WhatsApp appear consistent between apps because they use the same code for the same static emoji. Animated emojis are different - AFAIK WhatsApp does not support those.

Does this help you?

Yes, that's exactly what I want. But this library has a problem, such that emojis are not displayed after compiling the sample. Please try it too.

Indeed, I too am running into all sorts of issues when trying to use it. I suspect an update to the library is required and sadly the last post by the author appears to be 2021
