iOS Question B4i Issue with BarButton_Click Event

[mmieher]

Using these subs I found in the forum:

Private Sub BarButton_Click
    Dim b As Button = Sender
    Log("Toolbar Click Tag = " & b.Tag)
    mnu.MenuClick("Menu")
End Sub

Public Sub CreateFABarIcon(text As String, tag As Object) As BarButton
    Dim bb As BarButton
    Dim b As Button
    b.InitializeCustom("BarButton", Colors.White, Colors.RGB(16,116,74))
    b.CustomLabel.Font = Font.CreateNew2("FontAwesome", 32)
    b.Text = text
    b.Tag = tag
    b.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 1, 0, 0, 24, 24)
    bb.InitializeCustom(b)
    Return bb
End Sub

Private Sub CreateFABarImg(sFile As String, tag As Object) As BarButton
    Dim bb As BarButton
    Dim b As ImageView
    b.Initialize("img")
    b.Bitmap=LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,sFile)
    b.Tag = tag
    b.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 1, 0, 0, 24, 24)
    bb.InitializeCustom(b)
    Return bb
End Sub

With this, BarButton_Click is fired.
Dim lbHamburger As BarButton = CreateFABarIcon(Chr(0xF0C9),"Menu")

But with this, it does not? I do not see why there is a difference.
Dim lbHamburger As BarButton = CreateFABarImg("hamburger.png","Menu")

Please upload a small project with the non-working button.

Thanks, Erel. I stripped my big project down to a little one. Also note that the SetLayoutAnimated on the BarButton is not working. Trying to position it on the left.

I will check it next week.

Replacing the

b.CustomLabel.Font ....

with this

b.CustomLabel.Font = Font.CreateFontAwesome(32)

seem to work great and I can see the hamburger tag events in the console

I'm getting an expected error: Object was not initialized (UIFont)

It happens because the font awesome file is missing. The solution as @Jamie8763 wrote is to use Font.CreateFontAwesome. The compiler will take care of adding the font file.
