Known direct subclasses EmojiAppCompatEditText EmojiAppCompatEditText AppCompatEditText widget enhanced with emoji capability by using EmojiEditTextHelper.

---

A EditText which supports compatible features on older versions of the platform, including:

• Allows dynamic tint of its background via the background tint methods in ViewCompat.
• Allows setting of the background tint using R.attr.backgroundTint and R.attr.backgroundTintMode.
• Allows setting a custom listener to handle insertion of content (e.g. pasting text or an image from the clipboard). This listener provides the opportunity to implement app-specific handling such as creating an attachment when an image is pasted.

This will automatically be used when you use EditText in your layouts and the top-level activity / dialog is provided by appcompat. You should only need to manually use this class when writing custom views.
