I created a module for a text field substitute using text object. But I noticed that when I enter an emoji the appearance is in all white or whatever the color of the text object is.
Is there any way that I can show the real appearance of the emoji?
No there isn’t any way.
And it is a shame because it makes it impossible to do proper chat implementations. Users expect emojies these days.
The display.newImage might work I guess, given that corona has a display.capture function that can capture the emoji in the native textfield, or not? I haven’t tried capturing native objects. If this is possible, the problem again is that merging display.newImage with display.newText might make the process slower. Anyway just an idea. Thank you for your response @ojnab
You can’t capture native objects.
