B4A Library IconicFontEngine (EditText, Button and TextView)

This is a wrapper for this github project.

I´m posting here the Lib, an example and the java-source

The Lib is using the new Custom Properties which can be used in designer in V5.8
So you need B4A 5.8+ to use this library

If you want to donate for my work building the wrapper you can do it here:

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Private iconicBtn As IconicFontButton
    Private iconicEdit As IconicFontEditText
    Private IconicLabel As IconicFontTextView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    Log(iconicBtn.FontAwesomeList)
    Log(iconicBtn.TypeIconList)
    '
    ' These two methods (FontAwesomeList and TypeIconList) are available in either
    ' IconicFontButton, IconicFontEditText and IconicFontTextView
    '
    iconicBtn.Text = "Test-Github {fa-github}"
    iconicEdit.Text = "{typcn-anchor}{typcn-social-github-circular}"
    iconicEdit.Hint = "{typcn-anchor}"
    IconicLabel.Text = "{fa-github}{typcn-social-github-circular}"

End Sub

Please note the additional folder "fonts" inside the Files folder of the Example-project! The fonts used are inside this folder.

New in V2.0
- Added the MaterialIconsFont to the set.

Error happens on

Activity.LoadLayout("layouthere")

happens even with the example

The Library is using the new Custom Properties released in B4A 5.8
So i guess you are using an older B4A version?

 

[Kwame Twum]

So i guess you are using an older B4A version?

yes pls, B4A 5.2 here

 

[DonManfred]

yes pls, B4A 5.2 here

- You need to update your B4A To V5.8+ or
- ask if someone has the old V1.0 zip. I do not have it anymore.

The old lib does not contain MaterialIconsFont.
