Android Question FontAwesome picker outdated?

[techknight]

Is the icon picker outdated? I am looking for a broadcast tower icon and its not showing up in the icon picker.

but If I go to fontawesomes website, under free, and search for it there, its there:

Tower Broadcast Filled Icon (Classic Solid) — Free SVG Download | Font Awesome

Download the Tower Broadcast filled icon as a free SVG or PNG. A bold Classic Solid style icon for web and app projects.

fontawesome.com

any ideas?

the icon is added in Version 5.0.13 of fontawesome.

Guess b4a is using an older release

You can see a list of all included icons in FontAwesomeList.txt in the B4A Folder

The new version of FontAwesome is not backward compatible.

You can however add it as an external font.
I've created a picker for a new version of material font: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-materialicons-web-font-chooser.103985/
It shouldn't be too difficult to modify it to work with other fonts, though you can also use external fonts without any picker.

Ok. yea I was trying to look through the picker and browse the symbols without knowing the unicode, and from there pick the unicode.

I am thankful for the fact that the fontawesome site shows the unicode. Combining that with what you posted above and applying it as a custom font works.
