**Iconify** offers you a **huge collection of vector icons** to choose from, and an intuitive way to **add and customize them in your Android app**. It has been introduced in [**this blog post**](http://blog.joanzapata.com/iconify-just-got-a-lot-better/) which is a good place to get started. 



-----



### Install



Pick any number of modules and declare them in your `Application`.



```gradle

dependencies {

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-fontawesome:2.2.2' // (v4.5)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-entypo:2.2.2' // (v3,2015)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-typicons:2.2.2' // (v2.0.7)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-material:2.2.2' // (v2.0.0)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-material-community:2.2.2' // (v1.4.57)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-meteocons:2.2.2' // (latest)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-weathericons:2.2.2' // (v2.0)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-simplelineicons:2.2.2' // (v1.0.0)

    compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify-ionicons:2.2.2' // (v2.0.1)

}

```



```java

public class MyApplication extends Application {



    @Override

    public void onCreate() {

        super.onCreate();

        Iconify

            .with(new FontAwesomeModule())

            .with(new EntypoModule())

            .with(new TypiconsModule())

            .with(new MaterialModule())

            .with(new MaterialCommunityModule())

            .with(new MeteoconsModule())

            .with(new WeathericonsModule())

            .with(new SimpleLineIconsModule())

            .with(new IoniconsModule());

    }

}

```



### Show icons in text widgets



If you need to put an icon on a ```TextView``` or a ```Button```, use the ```{ }``` syntax. The icons act exactly like the text, so you can apply shadow, size and color on them!



```xml



```






### Icon options



* Shall you need to override the text size of a particular icon, the following syntax is supported `{fa-code 12px}`, `{fa-code 12dp}`, `{fa-code 12sp}`, `{fa-code @dimen/my_text_size}`, and also `{fa-code 120%}`.

* In the same way you can override the icon color using `{fa-code #RRGGBB}`, `{fa-code #AARRGGBB}`, or `{fa-code @color/my_color}`.

* You can even easily spin an icon like so `{fa-cog spin}`.






### Show an icon where you need a `Drawable`



If you need an icon in an ```ImageView``` or in your ```ActionBar``` menu item, then you should use ```IconDrawable```. Again, icons are infinitely scalable and will never get fuzzy!



```java

// Set an icon in the ActionBar

menu.findItem(R.id.share).setIcon(

   new IconDrawable(this, FontAwesomeIcons.fa_share)

   .colorRes(R.color.ab_icon)

   .actionBarSize());

```



## Extensibility



In case you can't find the icon you want, you can extend the available icon directly from your app. All you need to do is to implement `IconFontDescriptor` with a `.ttf` file in your assets and provide the mapping between keys and special characters, then give it to `Iconify.with()`. You can use the  [FontAwesomeModule](https://github.com/JoanZapata/android-iconify/blob/master/android-iconify-fontawesome/src/main/java/com/joanzapata/iconify/fonts/FontAwesomeModule.java) as an example.



There are no constraints on the icon keys, but I strongly suggest you use a unique prefix like `my-` or anything, to avoid conflicts with other modules. FYI, if there **is** a conflict, the first module declared with `Iconify.with()` has priority.



The only dependency you need if you want to use a custom icon is Iconify core.



```gradle

compile 'com.joanzapata.iconify:android-iconify:2.2.2'

```
