B4J Question [ABMaterial] - available icons for buttons

[rbirago]

I am approaching in these days to ABMaterial and so I am studying the given samples.
Looking at button's icon names I noticed that an icon is called by a name (i.e. mdi-action-settings). I search over internet and I found that it is a naming rule for Google's font icons.
Well, trying to substitute the given icon name with another (i.e. mdi-image-palette) it doesn't work.
I also tried to use the names showed by awesome/material icons in Designer, but it doesn't work.
So my questions are:

• where can I find the list of available icon names?
• which is the method to define available icons?

thank you

Here: http://abmaterial.com/IconsPage/abmaterial-material-icons.html

Note that you have to run the app at least once in debug mode if you use new icons so the .needs files are updated to contain the CSS for the new icons.

...and how to add custom icons?

 

[rbirago]

ok. Recompiling the app it works with the new icon. Where can I find a documentation to understand which group of icons I can use, and what about different sets of icons or custom icons?

only custom SVG/Images are supported: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/abmaterial-custom-icons.86880/#content

Also Font Awesome 4.70 icons: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/

@Mashiane has a class module called FA. It defines all the Font Awesome icons that you will find in the "Tools - Icon Picker" of the IDE.

    Dim fa_y_combinator As String = ""
    Dim fa_yahoo As String = ""
    Dim fa_yelp As String = ""
    Dim fa_yoast As String = ""
    Dim fa_youtube As String = ""
    Dim fa_youtube_play As String = ""
    Dim fa_youtube_square As String = ""
End Sub

'Initializes the object. You can add parameters to this method if needed.
Public Sub Initialize
    fa_500px = "fa-500px"
    fa_address_book = "fa-address-book"
    fa_address_book_o = "fa-address-book-o"
    fa_address_card = "fa-address-card"
    fa_address_card_o = "fa-address-card-o"
    fa_adjust = "fa-adjust"
    fa_adn = "fa-adn"
    fa_align_center = "fa-align-center"
