You can't directly set emoji in TextView Either you can use this https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/emoji-compat.html

add this in gradle

dependencies {
    ...
    compile "com.android.support:support-emoji:27.1.0"
}

Implement this in your application code

  public class MyApplication extends Application {
  @Override
   public void onCreate() {
     super.onCreate();
     FontRequest fontRequest = new FontRequest(
       "com.example.fontprovider",
       "com.example",
       "emoji compat Font Query", CERTIFICATES);
       EmojiCompat.Config config = new FontRequestEmojiCompatConfig(this, fontRequest);
       EmojiCompat.init(config);
   }
}

and change your TextView to android.support.text.emoji.widget.EmojiTextView

You can check this if you have any doubts https://github.com/googlesamples/android-EmojiCompat

or

You can try unicode directly like this

But I want the emojis from url – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 27 '18 at 12:10
and also want to play the mp4 file which also contains emojis in VideoView – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 27 '18 at 12:11
I am also talking about android TextView. So your question is how to extract the string from url ? – Sunil Sunny Mar 27 '18 at 12:12
No, I am getting the string but instead of getting the url i am getting some square shapes in place of emojis – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 27 '18 at 12:13
Ok the URL is a different question , for displaying title in textview you can use EmojiCompat. – Sunil Sunny Mar 27 '18 at 12:13
When are you seeing this squares?. When you set this title in textview right ? – Sunil Sunny Mar 27 '18 at 12:16
Yes in text view – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 27 '18 at 12:17
Ok then try my first method . It should fix that issue. – Sunil Sunny Mar 27 '18 at 12:18
I did changed my textview to android.support.text.emoji.widget.EmojiTextView but after that the app is crashing – Pooja Pachchigar Mar 27 '18 at 12:36
