FloatingActionButton how to

[jaimeagudo]

I hate to ask something I feel I'd have to research on my own but I feel lost. Is it possible to use the fontawesome ones inside FloatingActionButton directly?

You can use DroidAwesome library to use FontAwesome inside a FloatingActionButton

This works for me:

// For font awesome icon keys, look at cheat sheet: http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
IconDrawable icon = new IconDrawable(getContext(), "fa-building");

// Default size is designed to suit normal sized FABs
if (myFab.getSize() == FloatingActionButton.SIZE_MINI) {
    icon.sizeDp(18);
    // Stretched by default, looks ok on normal sized ones but duff on mini ones
    myFab.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER);
}
myFab.setImageDrawable(icon);

I took this one step further and subclassed the FloatingActionButton to check for my own set of styleables, so I can set the fontAwesome icon key in XML with a custom attribute. Essentially it does the same as the above code, though.
