How to set emoji by unicode in a textview?

You can directly use Emojis in string resources by using the decimal code like this:

&#128522;

for example:

<string name="emoji">I am happy &#128522;</>

Found a solution:

In my unicode I replaced 'U+' by '0x'

Example: replace 'U+1F60A' by '0x1F60A'

This way I got an 'int' like

int unicode = 0x1F60A;

Which can be used with

public String getEmojiByUnicode(int unicode){
    return new String(Character.toChars(unicode));
}

So Textview displays ð without Drawable
