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, and bang your head on the wall when you suddently need to change their color or size, then I think Iconify
can help you.
Iconify allows you to include any of the FontAwesome 4.1.0 icons by Dave Gandy 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.
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="{fa-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);
.
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.fa_share)
.colorRes(R.color.ab_icon)
.actionBarSize());
