I have made an IME Keyboard for Android which still requires an in-view EditText to search through Emojis.
Even when the EditText shows a blinking cursor, I am unable to type into it!
Google's GBoard has that, & many other keyboards, let you filter Emojis, via typing in such a search box!
Image showing what I am trying to do!
I've tried using InputConnection#setImeConsumesInput(true) but that isn't availabe inside IME Service class itself!
I've tried EditText#requestFocsus() as well! Still failed to type into it!
