Usage

1. Create your font with icons

Do it yourself. Check tutorial on fontastic.me service or find other service.

2. Prepare your font to be used in Android.

Read this manual for details. In case of fontastic use this util.

3. Declare your FontIconDrawable in xml

res/xml/ic_android.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <font-icon

 xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

 android:text="@string/ic_android"

 android:textSize="@dimen/big_icon_size"

 android:textColor="@color/green_170"

 />

4. Inflate your FontIconDrawable in Java

 Drawable icon = FontIconDrawable.inflate(getResources(), R.xml.ic_android);

5. Use your FontIconDrawable as compound for TextView, EditText or Button (in res/layout with custom class)

 <com.shamanland.fonticon.FontIconTextView

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:text="Dummy text"

 app:iconLeft="@xml/ic_android"

 />

<com.shamanland.fonticon.FontIconEditText

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:text="Dummy text"

 app:iconLeft="@xml/ic_android"

 />

<com.shamanland.fonticon.FontIconButton

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:text="Dummy text"

 app:iconLeft="@xml/ic_button_yes"

 />

6. Use your FontIconDrawable as compound for TextView (in Java-code with platform class)

 Drawable icon = FontIconDrawable.inflate(getResources(), R.xml.ic_android);

  TextView tv = (TextView) result.findViewById(R.id.my_textview_or_button);

  tv.setCompoundDrawables(icon, null, null, null);

7. Use FontIconView as single icon in your layout

 <com.shamanland.fonticon.FontIconView

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:text="@string/ic_android"

 android:textSize="@dimen/icon_size"

 android:textColor="@color/icon_color"

 />

8. Add glowing effect on touch for your FontIconView

res/layout/f_glowing.xml

 <com.shamanland.fonticon.FontIconView

 android:layout_width="wrap_content"

 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 android:padding="@dimen/icon_glow_radius"

 android:text="@string/ic_googleplus"

 android:textSize="@dimen/big_icon_size"

 android:textColor="@color/pressed_googleplus"

 android:clickable="true"

 app:overridePressed="true"

 app:pressedGlowColor="@color/googleplus"

 app:pressedGlowRadius="@dimen/icon_glow_radius"

 />
