# Setup

## Latest releases 🛠

- Kotlin | [v5.4.0](https://github.com/mikepenz/Android-Iconics/tree/v5.4.0)
- Pre-Release | [v5.5.0-b01](https://github.com/mikepenz/Android-Iconics/tree/v5.5.0-b01)

## 1. Provide the gradle dependency
```gradle
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
```gradle
//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

```gradle
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](#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

```kotlin
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](#available-fonts).
All icon names from the default fonts can be found via the [DEMO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikepenz.iconics.sample) application.

#### Notation within text
Use the `{` icon-definer `}` syntax
```gson
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.

```xml

// 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
```xml
// 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
```xml

```

#### As IconicsButton
```xml

```

## Compose

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

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

Use the provided `Image` wrapper and set the icon.

```kotlin
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:

```xml
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
```kotlin
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.
```kotlin
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:
```kotlin
IconicsDrawable(this, "faw-adjust").actionBar()
```
```kotlin
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:
* [Fontello](http://fontello.com)
* [IcoMoon](http://icomoon.io)
* [Fontastic](http://app.fontastic.me)
* let me know if you find other tools.

After you got those two files, head over to the icon addon creation tool [android-iconics.mikepenz.com](https://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](https://github.com/zTrap/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](https://github.com/ligol/IconicsFontGenerator)

# ProGuard / R8

ProGuard / R8 rules are bundled internally with each font.
