you can use for ex.
- Iconify
- IconicFontEngine
- Material Icon Pack (all icons as images)
- 1000 MaterialIcons in the Color you need.
maybe i did forget one to list... Check my overview
Should give you a good start

PD: The WIDTH of the Code you are using is irelevant!

Spoiler: HINT

See Thread Title/Subject ;-)

1. Create an invisible label named lblMaterial with the designer and set its Typeface to Material Icons.
2. Use this label to set the typeface of other views:

MyButton.Typeface = lblMaterial.Typeface

You can use the code editor icon picker to add icons in your code.

I tried to copy the ttf to files tab and than set the typeface to b4x_material.ttf ( not sure of the name ) and it worked

. You can avoid using the designer if you like

It is not recommended as it will fail once you add a view that uses Material Icons with the designer.
