 String imagename="1.png";      
    mSendText.getText().insert(cursorPosition, index);
    if (index.contains(imagename)) {
        index.replace(cs,":-)");
        mSendText.setText(index);

    } else {

String is immutable in Java. If you want to replace something in a String, you have to use this:

index = index.replace(cs,":-)");
