Android Question DSTabLayout with Fontawesome?

[leitor79]

Hi,

I have a DSTabLayout and I wanted to use the fontawesome font to add some kind of icons. Icons are not displayed, just the text.

(Dim VP As AHViewPager, Dim PC As AHPageContainer)

    PC.Initialize
       
    Panel1.Initialize("")
    Panel1.Color = Colors.White 'Colors.RGB(Rnd(0,256), Rnd(0,256), Rnd(0,256))
    'PC.AddPage(Panel1, Chr(0xF080))
    PC.AddPage(Panel1, Chr(0xF080) & " Chart")
    Panel2.Initialize("")
    Panel2.Color = Colors.White 'Colors.RGB(Rnd(0,256), Rnd(0,256), Rnd(0,256))
   
    PC.AddPage(Panel2, Chr(0xF0F6)  & " Raw Data")

   
    'Set the PageContainer for the ViewPager
    VP.PageContainer = PC
    TabLayout.SetViewPager(VP)

TabLayout and VP has set typeface=fontawesome in the designer. I also added an invisible lblFontAwesome label, with fontawesome typeface, just in case (i think it was necessary in older versions?)

I know dstablaoyut supports the seticon method, but I thought using the font is easier.

Thank yoy very much!

Have you tried to use the CharSequenceBuilder?

Hi DonManfred, thank you for your answer!

I didn't knew such thing existed. I've read some topic with a question answered using something with cs and I tought it had something to do with c# haha.

However, I've looked for it, and I tried, but it doesn't work:

PC.AddPage(Panel1,  cs.Initialize.Append("Text with FontAwesome: ").Typeface(Typeface.FONTAWESOME).Append(Chr(0xF209)).PopAll)

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I also tried with SetTabText, that says it accept a charsequence, but it only displays the text with no icons:

    TabLayout.SetTabText(0, cs.Initialize.Append("FontAwesome: ").Typeface(Typeface.FONTAWESOME).Append(Chr(0xF209)).PopAll)
   
    TabLayout.SetTabText(1, cs.Initialize.Typeface(Typeface.FONTAWESOME).Append(Chr(0xF060)).Append(" Raw Data").PopAll)

are you sure you are using the right AppCpmpat /Design support library version?

 

[leitor79]

Thank for your answer, DonManfred.

AppCompat v3.52, as says in the libraries panel, and AHViewPager v3.00

Hello,

Maybe my answer implied there was something wrong with the appcompat or DSL versions, but I really don't know it there was the case...


Regards!
