Description

This pull request implements an emoji keyboard palette utilizing Fossify's emoji keyboard structure, accessible via the English keyboard layout.

  • EmojiHelper.kt parses and maps emoji spec assets
  • EmojiAdapter displays emoji & category headers
  • Edits emoji palette layout constraints in input_method_view.xml
  • AutoGridLayoutManager calculates column count from available width and item size
  • item_emoji & item_emoji_category_title create layouts for emoji cells and category headers
  • KeyboardUIManager manages emoji palette display, category navigation, emoji loading, and selection handling
  • GeneralKeyboardIME handles emoji deletion and routes the emoji keyboard with KeyHandler
  • Added emoji key (-6) & reduced space bar size through KeyboardBase & keys_letters_english

Items to tackle in future issues:

  • Add recently used emoji
  • Edit emoji palette UI
    • Add different colour schemes for light & dark mode
