An Android library that lets developers use any icon font or vector (.svg) as a Drawable in their app, with full customization of size, color, contour, shadow, and padding. It supports many icon fonts (Material, FontAwesome, Octicons, etc.) and offers Jetpack Compose support, though it is now deprecated in favor of Compose ImageVector icons.

Use cases

• use fontawesome icons in my android app
• render icon fonts as drawables on android
• scale and recolor vector icons at runtime in android
• add material design icons to an android project
• use svg icons as android drawables
• icons for jetpack compose android app

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy View-based Android app already using icon fonts as drawables
• you need an icon font not available as Compose ImageVector and target API 24+
• you need runtime customization (color, contour, shadow) of icon glyphs in Drawables

When to avoid

• starting a new Jetpack Compose project - use androidx.compose.material.icons / ImageVector instead
• you need new icon fonts or new features - the library is deprecated and in maintenance mode
• you want tree-shakeable, compile-time-typed icons
