Android Question Embed Variables in a BBCodeView

[Mahares]

How can I make this work:

Dim clr As Int=0xFFD21111
    BBCodeView1.Text = $"[Alignment=Center][TextSize=20]
    [color=${clr}][b]Home[/b]
    [FontAwesome=0xF015/]
    [/color][/TextSize][/Alignment]
    "$

Also, anther problem: if I move the FontAwesome line to the top of the BBCodeView, it does not display the icon.
Thank you

Lets start with the color:

Dim clr As String = "0xFFD21111"

Lets start with the color:

That works nicely. Now to my other problem with the fontawesome. I wanted the icon to show before the text, but the icon is blank.

Post the BBCode and a screenshot.

This code does not show the fontawesome icon. It only shows Home, no icon:

Post the BBCode and a screenshot.

Dim clr As String="0xFFD21111"
    BBCodeView1.Text = $"[FontAwesome=0xF015/]
    [Alignment=Center][TextSize=20]
    [color=${clr}][b]Home[/b]
    [/color][/TextSize][/Alignment]
    "$

But I got it working when I place the fontawesome in the middle like this. It shows icon on top of text (Home):

Dim clr As String="0xFFD21111"
    BBCodeView1.Text = $"
    [Alignment=Center][TextSize=20]
    [color=${clr}][b][FontAwesome=0xF015/]
    Home[/b]
    [/color][/TextSize][/Alignment]
    "$

This is what I see when I run this code:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("1")
    TextEngine.Initialize(Activity)
    Dim clr As String="0xFFD21111"
    BBCodeView1.Text = $"[FontAwesome=0xF015/]
[Alignment=Center][TextSize=20]
[color=${clr}][b]Home[/b]
[/color][/TextSize][/Alignment]
    "$
End Sub

This is odd, because I am running it on 2 different tablets and neither shows the fontawesome icon.. The layout has only the BBCodeView., no other views masking it. But even in your screenshot, why isn't the icon inside the BBCodeView

But even in your screenshot, why isn't the icon inside the BBCodeView

it is inside. At top left corner

 

[Mahares]

it is inside. At top left corner

I am going to make a project and post

 

[Mahares]

Here is the very simple project that demonstrates at least on my 2 tablets that the icon is not on the BBCodeview.

Either set the theme to be light theme (I always do):

CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)

Or set the default color to black:

BBCodeView1.ParseData.DefaultColor = xui.Color_Black

It can also be done with the designer.

The default color with dark theme is white.
