Compose Font Icons

Appearance

Android-specific ​

There are also Android-specific functions/classes available, notably a Bitmap and a Drawable.

Bitmap ​

You can use the FontIconBitmap function to create a bitmap from a font icon (this function is not composable), for example:

kotlin
val bitmap = FontIconBitmap(
    icon = MyIconFont.MyIcon,
    iconFont = yourFont,
    tint = yourColor,
    context = context,
    density = Density(context)
)

There are multiple overloads for this function, go check the API reference for more information.

Drawable ​

You can use the FontIconDrawable class to create a drawable from a font icon, for example:

kotlin
val drawable = FontIconDrawable(
    icon = MyIconFont.MyIcon,
    iconFont = yourFont,
    tint = yourColor,
    context = context,
    density = Density(context)
)

There are multiple overloads for the constructor (the sames as the FontIconBitmap function), go check the API reference for more information.

Canvas extension function ​

Finally, there is a drawFontIcon extension function for the Canvas class, which allows you to draw a font icon on a canvas. You'll probably want to use either FontIconBitmap or FontIconDrawable instead, but this function might be useful for use in a custom View for example.

See the API reference for more information.
