adding text and/or emojis on images

[idontveapc]

app has a fair amount of options that an image editor would have, except one i mentioned as the title!

Yup, thanks for the suggestion, this planned and mentioned in #461 :)

Consider switching from SVG emoji to emoji text in Android 13 and above, as you can use the COLR feature to display clearer emojis.

I can provide some help on whether the system fonts support the COLR feature, because OEMs may negatively optimize emoji fonts on Android13 devices. (Such as : Meizu) COLRv1.kt

Initially i used emojis as text, that worked great, but on each device that looked different, so i considered switching for svg, so on all devices it'll look the same :)

It may occur on devices below Android 13, because the system only supports bitmap emoji fonts, and Android 13 and later will support vector emoji fonts. Vector emojis are used in the source code of Android 13 Easter Egg, and drawText is obviously more efficient. Can use lower version downgrade scheme: Android 13 uses emoji text, supporting all emoji; The previous system still used SVG emoji. Minimize differences between different systems.

But they will be still different depending on device isn't it? Also didn't the app size will be increased of storing all entire available emojis?

Also i have some svgs that are not from emojis👀

If using SVG emoji, it definitely cannot support all emojis, so only enable more emoji support or allow users to customize input on Android 13 or above.

Regarding custom non-emoji svg, the emoji data structure can be enhanced to support multiple types

You can consider allowing users to customize emoji input on Android 13 devices, which will minimally intrude on existing functions.

Maybe, but it seems to be tricky, maybe when adding text to images I'll add this, but now i'll need to rewrite all emoji parts to achieve using colr

So maybe in the future, not now :)

I don't quite understand why assets svg should be copied to the local directory and then loaded. Are there any advantages to doing this?

private fun Context.getFileFromAssets(cat: String, filename: String): Uri =
    "file:///android_asset/svg/${cat}/${filename}".toUri()

how can I load image without it? Can coil load that directly? If you know, I'll be glad :)

I will submit a PR to implement this optimization https://github.com/T8RIN/ImageToolbox/pull/581

thanks!

now you can use watermark feature to achieve this, hope it fits :)
