Get Emoji Count In String

Question

I would like to find how many emojis the user has input into an EditText. If the user only enters emojis, and uses 3 or less, I want to be able to display that

Answer 1

    int emojiCount = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < yourString.length(); i++) {
     int type = Character.getType(yourString.charAt(i));
      if (type == Character.SURROGATE || type == Character.OTHER_SYMBOL) {
       emojiCount++;
      }
    }

return emojiCount/2;
