IconView is an extension of Android TextView class which provides support for a custom icon font

here's a screenshot of the simple example application included

IconView is presented as an Android library project. It is not a standalone JAR because fonts are stored as a raw resources.

You can include this project by referencing it as a library project in Eclipse or ant.

add the following line to the root element of your layout

xmlns:iconview="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Layout:

<be.webelite.iconview.IconView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    iconview:icon_name="entypo_search"
    android:textSize="25dp"/>

the entypo font is loaded out of the box, you can add your own font by creating a package at http://icomoon.io the reason for not using the icofonts as supplied by ex. www.entypo.com is that the have unicode values used by the fonts are too long and not supported by android.

##creating your own font pack

• go to icomoon.io
• create a fontpack
• download the font pack
• include the ttf file in res/raw
• replace enum types in res/values/attr.xml with the ones in the style.css given to you by icomoon.io (some manual search&replace action will help you).
