Setup

Latest releases 🛠

1. Provide the gradle dependency

dependencies {
    //the core iconics library (without any widgets)
    implementation "com.mikepenz:iconics-core:${latestAndroidIconicsRelease}"
    implementation "androidx.appcompat:appcompat:${versions.appCompat}"
}

1b. (optional) Add the view's dependency

//this adds all ui view widgets (IconicsButton, IconicsImageView, ...)
implementation "com.mikepenz:iconics-views:${latestAndroidIconicsRelease}"

2. Choose your desired fonts

Note

Fonts ending with -kotlin require at least v4.x of Android-Iconics v5.1.x or newer requires the latest font versions

implementation 'com.mikepenz:google-material-typeface:4.0.0.3-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:google-material-typeface-{outlined|rounded|sharp}:4.0.0.2-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:material-design-iconic-typeface:2.2.0.9-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:fontawesome-typeface:5.9.0.3-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:octicons-typeface:11.1.0.1-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:meteocons-typeface:1.1.0.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:community-material-typeface:7.0.96.1-kotlin@aar' // note 5.3.45.1 and newer alphabetically sorts, and merges in 3 sections
implementation 'com.mikepenz:weather-icons-typeface:2.0.10.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:typeicons-typeface:2.0.7.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:entypo-typeface:1.0.0.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:devicon-typeface:2.0.0.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:foundation-icons-typeface:3.0.0.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:ionicons-typeface:2.0.1.8-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:pixeden-7-stroke-typeface:1.2.0.6-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:material-design-icons-dx-typeface:5.0.1.3-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:phosphor-typeface:1.0.0.1-kotlin@aar'
implementation 'com.mikepenz:simple-icons-typeface:17.0.0.3@aar'

Note

For users of the version catalog, it is not possible to add the type, however you can do so via the implementation definition. implementation(libs.material.typeface) { artifact { type = "aar" } }

Warning

The fonts use the jetpack startup library to automatically register themselves. If jetpack startup is disabled, it is required to manually register the fonts. Please find additional details in the Register fonts.

Usage

Note

It might be required to call Iconics.init(applicationContext) if no context based APIs are used from the library otherwise.

Use as drawable

IconicsDrawable(this, FontAwesome.Icon.faw_android).apply {
    colorInt = Color.RED
    sizeDp = 24
}

Use via XML

If you use the Iconics library via XML provide the icon you want to use in the following syntax: gmd-favorite --> fontId-iconName. A list of the available fonts and their fontId can be found here. All icon names from the default fonts can be found via the DEMO application.

Notation within text

Use the { icon-definer } syntax

Some great text with a {faw-android} font awesome icon and {met-wind} meteocons icons.

Drawable XML (API 24+)

Specify the drawable in your drawable folder.

<com.mikepenz.iconics.IconicsDrawable
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    app:ico_icon="gmd_favorite"
    app:ico_color="#0000FF"
    app:ico_contour_width="1dp"
    app:ico_contour_color="#00FFFF"
    app:ico_size="24dp" />
    // all custom theming attributes supported

Use like any normal drawable in your application. This feature was suggested and initially provided by @dzamlo

Custom Views

As IconicsImageView

<com.mikepenz.iconics.view.IconicsImageView
    android:layout_width="72dp"
    android:layout_height="72dp"
    app:iiv_color="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
    app:iiv_icon="gmd-favorite" />  // or @string/gmd_favorite with our generator
    //app:iiv_size="12dp"
    //app:iiv_padding="2dp"
    //app:iiv_contour_color="#FF0000"
    //app:iiv_contour_width="2dp"
    //app:iiv_background_color="#FFFF00"
    //app:iiv_corner_radius="2dp"
    //app:iiv_background_contour_color="#FF0000"
    //app:iiv_background_contour_width="1dp"
    //app:iiv_shadow_radius="4dp"
    //app:iiv_shadow_dx="1dp"
    //app:iiv_shadow_dy="1dp"
    //app:iiv_animations="spin|blink_alpha|blink_scale"

As IconicsTextView

<com.mikepenz.iconics.view.IconicsTextView
    android:text="abc{hif-test}defgh{faw-adjust}ijk{fon-test1}lmnopqrstuv{fon-test2}wxyz"
    android:textColor="@android:color/black"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="56dp"
    android:textSize="16sp"/>

As IconicsButton

<com.mikepenz.iconics.view.IconicsButton
    android:text="{faw-adjust} Button"
    android:layout_width="120dp"
    android:layout_height="60dp"/>

Compose

To include the experimental compose support in your project add the following dependency to your project (since v5.2.0)

implementation "com.mikepenz:iconics-compose:${latestAndroidIconicsRelease}"

Use the provided Image wrapper and set the icon.

Image(
    GoogleMaterial.Icon.gmd_access_alarm,
    colorFilter = ColorFilter.tint(MaterialTheme.colors.primary),
)

Compatibility Note

appcompat:1.4.x

Appcompat v1.4.x introduces default enabled emoji support into all AppCompat* views, which prevents the IconicsView* views (iconics-views module) from properly applying the spannable style. To fix this problem, emoji support has to be disabled by doing:

app:emojiCompatEnabled="false"

More information on the appcompat emoji support: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appcompat#1.4.0-alpha01

Advanced Usage

Register fonts

If you want to add your own custom font, or a GenericFont you have to register this font (before using it). The best place to do this is the Application.

And initialize Iconics as you wish

class CustomApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        //register custom fonts like this (or also provide a font definition file)
        Iconics.registerFont(CustomFont())
    }
}

Advanced IconicsBuilder

Everything is easy and simple. Right? But now you got a single icon within your textview and you need additional styling? Just define the style for all icons or only a specific one. You can find this in the PlaygroundActivity of the sample too.

Iconics.Builder()
    .style(ForegroundColorSpan(Color.WHITE), BackgroundColorSpan(Color.BLACK), RelativeSizeSpan(2f))
    .styleFor(FontAwesome.Icon.faw_adjust, BackgroundColorSpan(Color.RED))
    .on(tv1)
    .build()

String icon-key or typeface enum

Sometimes you won't like to use the icon-key ("faw-adjust") like this, but use the enum provided by a specific font. Both is valid:

IconicsDrawable(this, "faw-adjust").actionBar()
IconicsDrawable(this, FontAwesome.Icon.faw_adjust).apply {
    sizeDp = 24
    paddingDp = 1
}

Create custom fonts

This is possible with only the *.ttf and *.css mapping file. And will take you 2 minutes.

You can get these two files by downloading a web icon font, or if you want to create your own custom icon font from *.svg files then you can use following tools:

After you got those two files, head over to the icon addon creation tool android-iconics.mikepenz.com. Enter all the information. Add the *.ttf and *.css and click the button. It will generate and download the icon font addon as zip. (this tool is local only, no files are sent to a server, you can safely use it with any icons)

String fields for icons

For generating string field for each of icons of your font, you can use this simple generator: Android-Iconics String Generator

Android module generator

A awesome gradle plugin which can automatically fetch a font from Fontastic, and generate the Android Module for your project. Iconics-Font-Generator

ProGuard / R8

ProGuard / R8 rules are bundled internally with each font.
