Not working in Android

[simonexmachina]

I've just created a new test project with react-native@0.15.0 and the Icons are not displaying in Android. I've pushed the test project to Github for your reference. Pretty sure I've done everything, but please do let me know if I've stuffed up somehow.

I've also tried 0.14 and got the same result.

Yeah for me too

@aexmachina I figured it out!

I did the following, create a icon like this

<Icon
  style={styles.icon}
  name='fontawesome|android'
  size={70}
  color='#000'
/>

Declare the style:

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  icon: {
    backgroundColor: '#3b5998',
    color: '#ffffff',
    width: 70,
    height: 70,
  },
});

Now it is visible on my end!

Nope, that doesn't work for me. I see the background color, but not the icon.

@aexmachina I just figured out whats going on, you're missing https://github.com/corymsmith/react-native-icons/blob/master/Example/android/app/src/main/assets/fontawesome.json and https://github.com/corymsmith/react-native-icons/blob/master/Example/android/app/src/main/assets/ion.json from the assets directory, see: https://github.com/corymsmith/react-native-icons/tree/master/Example/android/app/src/main/assets

Right, okay thanks. Yes that's fixed it. You might want to add that to the docs, especially because it's not required for iOS.

[simonexmachina]

Okay, it is there - was that added recently? Sorry if I missed it!
