Android Question Change icon for Floating Action Menu (FAM)

[Haris Hafeez]

Hi All,

This is in relation to this library.

Has anyone changed the default '+' icon that is displayed on the action menu button?

Thanks,
Haris.

Maybe you can try to change the drawable fab_add.png in the different drawables folders at FAM library Resource folder to the desired one (not tested)

Not till now. But i did.

Look inside the marked folders which are inside the "resource" folder you added with #additionalres: ..\Resource

Replace the fab_add.png in all of these folders (for different resolutions.

OR

Remove these folders and add a fab_add.png to the folder drawable

Yes, this will work.

But you also can remove all the folders for the different resolutions (if you want to manage just one folder)...

And add a fab_add.png to the folder drawable

Please note that (whatever icon you put there). It will be rotated when clicking.
This is built-in in the library

Thanks folks. Will try and update here. I tried looking at the github source but didn't spend a lot of time in there I was thinking perhaps with a bit of reflection I can change the image view that is displayed on top of the button. Although I managed to show a different image but it looked all wrong. The underlying '+' would simply not go away and would still be visible even if I managed to display another image on top of the button.
Anyways, thanks for your input and great work!

[Edit] The reason I wanted to use reflection was to display fontawesome/material icons using icon fonts.
