Emoji in Html

[Serhei Scrabin]

Hello.
I have android 9 and old version of emoji.
When I enter some characters in html project, the old emoji characters appear even though the characters are new in app.CreateList.
How can I set the emoji font file that is preinstalled in DroidScript?
Thank you.

HI,

Sorry, I don't really understand what you are trying to do, or what isn't right.

Could you post some code (or at least snippets of code), what you expect to see, and what it actually shows?

Regards, ah

in HTML - emoji are alone, in app.CreateList - others (but not all)

I'm not certain, but I guess Serhei means that displaying an html entity emoji in a webview and the same entity in a DroidScript control produces different emojis.
I've run this code on BlueStacks 5 (android 7.1.2) and on my OnePlus Nord 2 (android 11):

1. function OnStart() {
2.     lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "FillXY,VCenter,Left" );
3.     txt = app.AddText( lay, "DS v" + app.GetDSVersion() + " - API v" + app.GetOSVersion() );
4.     lst = app.AddList( lay, "DS.List^c^ 😜", -1, -1, "HTML" );
5.     web = app.AddWebView( lay );
6.     web.LoadHtml( "Webview: 😜" );
7.     app.AddLayout( lay );
8. }

And it produced different results.

Serhei is this your issue?

HI,

API 25 seems to be Nougat, and API 30 Android 11, so I presume bluestacks is on the left.

User reported problem with Android 9 (Pie) API 28.

My Chromebook shows DS 2.5 API 28, DS List and Webview both show winking smiley faces.

Nokia 1.3 - DS 2.5 API 27 - two winking smileys 

In DS you could try lst.SetFontFile("/Sys/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf") 

If you have Premium then there are fonts on /Sys/fonts/mui for Bold.ttf, Icon.ttf, Light.ttf, Medium.ttf, Regular.ttf, Thin.ttf

Beyond that you could download an emoji font 

Regards, ah

Yes, that's my problem.
 I think the new emoji app.CreateList is coming from a font that is already pre-installed in DroidScript.  Where is he located?  The Internet is, but it is very large - 10mb.

ah you guessed well, BlueStacks is on the left and the OnePlus Nord 2 is on the right.

Serhei DroidScript don't seem to "pre-install" any font for this specific case.

It certainly uses android default fonts, explaining why the results differs on different devices.

I found this image that illustrates the evolution of a specific smiley depending on the year and the device family:

Using fontawesome or material design fonts doesn't chage anything.

What worked on BlueStacks was to download NotoColorEmoji.ttf from this source:

https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/blob/main/fonts/NotoColorEmoji.ttf?raw=true

Put it in your project's Misc folder then use it like this:

• lst.SetFontFile( "Misc/NotoColorEmoji.ttf" );

It works, but it will add 9MB to the size of your app...

Where does DroidScript get the emoji font from (new in app.CreateList)?
