Convert Text Smileys to Emoticons

[manisha-jain-bs]

@ankushsachdeva : Thanks for the wonderful library. I have used this library in android application and it is working like a charm in my application. The Emoji keyboard is very helpful to show and post Emoticons from the app.

Now in my application I want to convert text Smiley also in Emoticons.

For Ex: If I type a string like Hello World :) :D then I want to convert it in Hello World Emoticons.

I have checked the files of your library and found a file People.java in which you have executed the below functions
Emojicon.fromCodePoint(0x1f604) Emojicon.fromChar((char) 0x263a)
So, I need to

1. Regex pattern to fetch all the text smiley from the string
2. Then need to find the corresponding Unicode of that smiley icons.

How can I do these above 2 tasks, I am not able to find any solution for this. I want to do this dynamically, so that each text smiley can be converted to it's emoticon.

Please help me if you have any idea here, Thanks a lot in advanced.
