Use the font awesome icon library in android projects

FontAwesomeAndroid

Leverage the font awesome icon library (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/) in your android projects. The vector images will remain crisp and clear on all device sizes

Based on "Font Awesome by Dave Gandy - http://fontawesome.io".

Updated to include new fa- namespace instead of icon- namespace to mirror fontawesome.io changes at 4.0

How to include

1. Add the fontawesome-webfont.ttf file into your assets directory
2. Add the font_awesome.xml file to your res folder
3. Add the two classes ButtonAwesome.java and TextAwesome.java to your package path

How to use

There are two ways to use the icons

1. XML layouts, just include the extended textview or button in your layout, set the text to the string resource icon

    <com.FontAwesome.Example.TextAwesome
        android:id="@+id/tvThumb"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/fa_thumbs_up"
        android:textSize="30sp" />
   
    <com.FontAwesome.Example.ButtonAwesome
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/fa_check" >
   

2. Create a view programmatically

TextAwesome tvFacebook = new TextAwesome(this);
tvFacebook.setText(this.getResources().getString(R.string.fa_facebook_square));
tvFacebook.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,50);
layoutMain.addView(tvFacebook, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
