Cannot set typeface to floatingActionButton view about android-floating-action-button

[chalup]

There is a PR with setDrawable method for FAB. When I merge it, you'll be able to set the correct icon from code (I'm sure there are some IconFontDrawable implementations available).

Did u add the setDrawable method for FAB yet?. I am using the version 1.6.0 but still haven't been able to use the iconfontdrawable implementations.

You should be able to use FloatingActionButton.setIconDrawable method.

Yea, but that still will use the icon image from drawable's folder. What i usually do is, set any icon a font-awesome string value. and then setTypeface in the activity to get the fontAwesome icon. Isnt this possible with fab as well?

[chalup]

I think you're referring to:

public void setIcon(@DrawableRes int icon)

but there's also

public void setIconDrawable(@NonNull Drawable iconDrawable)

There are multiple libraries that allow creating Drawable from font. If you want setText + setTypeface directly on FAB class, that's not going to happen.

Alright. Thanks.
