Solution

I am trying to develop a emoticon keyboard for Android

Please bear in mind that most people do not speak exclusively in emoticons. Either you will need to create a full natural-language soft keyboard that also has emoticons, or users will have to flip back and forth between their regular soft keyboard and yours. The latter seems unlikely to be popular.

would I have to create a softkeyboard?

You are asking to create a soft keyboard.

how can I go about making this app

There is a SoftKeyboard sample app in your SDK that you can use as a starting point. Beyond that, search for tutorials on how to create an InputMethodService.
