How can I use the icons in the navigation menu using the font icon in android

Question

I am trying to port an android application that uses png resources for icons. I could successfully use it in the navigation box using the list view. But I could not use it in navigation mode, specifying it in the XML menu file.

This is what I got when I tried using Navigation Drawer

I do not know how to use the icons in the navigation view to get the marked icons.

 <group android:checkableBehavior="single"> <item android:id="@+id/nav_apple" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_apple" android:title="Apple" /> <item android:id="@+id/nav_chrome" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_chrome" android:title="Orange" /> <item android:id="@+id/nav_left" android:icon="@drawable/ic_menu_left" android:title="Grapes" /> </group> 

How to set these icons using the icon in this menu?

Answer 1

You need to set textView.setTypeface , where textView is the item in your navigation box. You also need to have your own font with icons, paste it into assets and then use it in code:

Typeface t = Typeface.createFromAsset(c.getAssets(), assetPath); textView.setTypeface(t);

Answer 2

I'm not sure, but you can use an instance of the Textview element and install it in java.
