Gradle Material Design Icons Plugin

This plugin will manage Google's official material design icons in your build.gradle. The plugin copies specified icons from the material design icon repository into your application allowing you to focus on the png icons only.

This plugin creates a meta file, .mdicons, to save settings and avoid evaluation during every build. Changes are automatically detected and icons are updated based on the changes.

Is writing regex painful? A support tool is being written, please be patient.

Usage

buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
  }

  dependencies {
    classpath 'com.tmiyamon:gradle-mdicons:0.2.2'
  }
}

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.tmiyamon.mdicons'

The plugin will clone the material design icons repository to your local environment first, and then refer to it for later builds. The first build will take a while as a result of the clone.

Configuration

Specify the icon(s) name you want to use in your application with a regex pattern. Failure to specify a pattern will result in no icons being added.

The following pattern

mdicons {
    pattern '(refresh|search)_white_24dp'
}

results in

Pattern

The regex pattern matches the file name of icons, but does not match the icon type such as 'navigation', 'action' etc. The Default is pattern is null and will do nothing.

Google's material design icons repository follows a naming convention of ${iconname}_${color}_${size}. Where the color is black, white or grey600 and the size is 18dp, 24dp, 36dp or 48dp.

The icon(s) matching the regex pattern will be copied for all screen densities present in the material design icons repository (hdpi, mdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi).
