If, like me, you're tired of copying 5 images (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi) for each icon you want to use in your app, for each color you want to use them with android-material-icons
can help you.
About
android-material-icons allows you to include any of the Material Design 2.1.1 icons by Google packed by Sergey Kupletsky in your texts, your ActionBar
, and even in your EditText
s. Icons are infinitely scalable, and customizable with shadows and everything you can do on texts.
Special thanks to Joan Zapata for his android-iconify project since this is mostly a copy :)
Get started #1
If you need icons on a TextView
, use the {
}
syntax. You can put any text around it and have more than one icon in the text. Note that the shadows apply to the icons as well.
<IconTextView
android:text="{
zmdi-android
}
"
android:shadowColor="#22000000"
android:shadowDx="3"
android:shadowDy="3"
android:shadowRadius="1"
android:textSize="90dp"
android:textColor="#FF33B5E5"
... />
You can either use
IconTextView
/ButtonTextView
or use anyTextView
and then programmatically callIconify.addIcons(myTextView);
.
Get started #2
If you need an icon in an ImageView
or in your ActionBar
, then you should use IconDrawable
. Again, icons are infinitely scalable and will never get fuzzy!
// Set an icon in the ActionBar menu.findItem(R.id.share).setIcon(
new IconDrawable(this, IconValue.zmdi_share)
.colorRes(R.color.ab_icon)
.actionBarSize());
maybe working
)
Design-time preview ( - Copy material font file (do not rename it) to your
$ANDROID_SDK/platforms/android-$N/data/fonts/
folder for each platform$N
available. - Assign attribute
hacky_preview
like this:
<com.malinskiy.materialicons.widget.IconTextView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="{
zmdi-android
}
"
android:textSize="48dp"
app:hacky_preview="true"/>
Get it

...
