enaml-native-icons

Iconfiy icons for enaml-native.

This originally used android-iconify. Now instead of requiring icon packs from java it has a python api to load icons from python.

Usage

Install using the enaml-native-cli

#: Using the enaml-native cli
enaml-native install enaml-native-icons

Then call iconify.install with the icon packs you want to use (or leave blank to use all the builtin icon packs).

Note: You must do this after the Application is created in main() and before the view is loaded in load_view(app). Generally the begging

def load_view(app):
    import enaml
    
    # Add icon packs here
    import iconify
    iconify.install() # defaults are material and material_community icons
    
    # Or you can pass in icons to use
    # iconify.install('iconify.fontawesome', 'iconify.weathericons')

    with enaml.imports():
        import view
        if app.view:
            reload(view)
        app.view = view.ContentView()
    
    app.show_view()

Custom icon packs

You can now add your own icon packs and load them as is done above.

  1. Download the font.ttf
  2. Copy it into android's assets folder android/app/src/main/assets/iconify ( create the assets folders as needed)
  3. Create a python icon pack module for the font. It is simply a module with SOURCE and ICONS variables. SOURCE is the path relative to the assets folder where your .ttf file is. ICONS is a dict that maps the icon-name (string) to font character (typically unicode). See the ones included here under src/iconify/icons for examples.
# You can add your own packs and use the defaults 
iconify.install('cryptocoin', *iconify.DEFAULT_ICON_PACKS)

Note: The ICON mapping can be parsed from font.css that is usually included with the font. Just make a script parses all the ".class:begin{content:'\Exxxx'}" fields.
