how to create custom keyboard like emoji in iOS - iphone

I am creating Chat Application. I want enable emoji symbols keyboard in my project. So my question is: is it possible to do this through code?

you d't create emoji keyboard in ios,simply enable emoji key board in your device ( Enable emoji keyboard )
//only user manually enable emoji keyboard in device

If you want to make a keyboard, and need to reproduce the keys in a way close to the system keyboard, I would recommend using https://github.com/acoomans/ACKeyboard
It defines ACKey that you can use as keys for your keyboard. It can save you a lot of trouble.

Are you using a UITextfield? If yes I think apple will automatically include the emoji keyboard. Try testing your app on a device and use an emoji keyboard.

Creating Custom Keyboard like emoji

Is it possible to create custom Keyboard in iPhone which can get use by any other application. Similar to the Emoji keyboard. Is it possible to take advantage of the international keyboard feature for the iPhone and create a custom keyboard that can be used over for apps on iPhone?
Any help would be appreciated.
My suggestion is exploit the inputView property of textField. You can create a UIView having buttons on it like the keys in key board, and set action for each buttons. Do actions appropriately for tapping each key.

Can I add a key to the system keyboard in iOS?

I need to add a custom key to the iOS system keyboard without requiring a jailbreak. For example, when I go into any app, I want my custom key to show up and then have it launch a view from my app.
I've seen tons of examples that do things like this from a custom UITextView, but nothing that modifies the keyboard for all apps.
No. Apple has iOS pretty locked down. Your app is pretty much in its own sandbox with a few outlets to the rest of the system.
You also can't create a custom keyboard like Android.
You can't but how about adding a UIToolBar on top of your keyboard?
You can't modify the system keyboard.

iPhone create/register/add new custom smiley keyboard

i need a custom keyboard like Emoji application does in my application. Any ideas how to create/register/add a new custom smiley keyboard?
If you're targeting for AppStore — you can't create/register/add a custom keyboard that reuses Apple's code (as they're undocumented). The only way you can do is create a custom view with many buttons as the keys.

Can you override the iPhone keyboard locale at runtime?

I need to create an iPhone app that supports user input in multiple languages. The user needs to be able to change his input language at runtime between English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, etc. Is there any way through the iPhone SDK to display a keyboard for a language other than the user's default language?
No, you can't change the keyboard programmatically.
BUT you can completely ignore the system keyboard and use your own custom keyboard. If you design your keyboard from scratch, you can then have complete control of it.
It's a lot of work, but since I have seen a few apps using custom keyboards I guess it's OK with Apple rules.
No, but note that if the user has turned on more than one keyboard in their Settings, there's a small button next to the spacebar that lets them switch languages.
Nope, your application cannot control the user’s preferred language (and thus the keyboard’s input method) - there is no programmatic control for this.
