iconize:IconButton doesn't work about xamarin.plugins HOT 10 CLOSED

The library no longer works in that manner. I hope to provide a future update to bring that functionality back.

from xamarin.plugins.

I am planning on getting some documentation together but it's basically a port of Iconify. So to add an icon (or more than one) you just put it in the text. Ex: "{fa-500px} 500px"

See Iconify here: http://joanzapata.com/android-iconify/

from xamarin.plugins.

I tried that one and others combinations several times without success;

<iconize:IconButton Text="{fa-500px} 500px" />
above code throw this: System.Exception: Expression must end with '}'

this code doesn't fail at compile time but just print: {fa-500px} 500px and desired is to replace {fa-500px} for font icon:
<iconize:IconButton Text="{}{fa-500px} 500px" />
<iconize:IconButton Text="{Binding Key, StringFormat='{}{{{0}}} {0}'}" />
<iconize:IconButton Text="{Binding Key, StringFormat='{{{0}}} {0}'}" />

from xamarin.plugins.

Tried to pass text from ViewModel fail too:

xaml: <iconize:IconButton Text="{Binding TestIcon}" />
ViewModel: TestIcon = "{fa-500px} fa-500px";

from xamarin.plugins.

I too wrapped the font key in brackets and this is the final output.

from xamarin.plugins.

How do you add an Icon to a button in the current implementation then?

from xamarin.plugins.

<iconize:IconButton Text="fa-lock" />

from xamarin.plugins.

Maybe this will save someone else the trouble- and I don't want to create an issue because it's not an issue with Iconize, but I spent a good chunk of yesterday figuring out that using any of the Themes that Xamarin is currently previewing interferes with Iconize.

It pretty much prevents any Font from replacing the Theme font- even if done programmatically.

Just a heads up for anyone else that runs up on this issue- and thinks it may have to do with their configuration or some missing step.
