iconicsDrawableStart setVisible false not working

[Nailik]

I have a IconicsTextView in XML:

<com.mikepenz.iconics.view.IconicsTextView
            android:id="@+id/txtInformation"
            style="@style/TextViewCaption"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:alpha="0.5"
            android:paddingTop="8dp"
            android:textColor="?attr/color_on_surface_background_themed"
            app:iiv_start_color="?attr/color_on_surface_background_themed"
            app:iiv_start_icon="@string/icon_barcode"
            app:iiv_start_size="20dp" />

when i set: itemView.txtInformation.iconicsDrawableStart!!.setVisible(false, false) the Icon is still visible. It returns true (hasChanged) and false for isVisible.

I use:

• library version 4.0.2
• support library version 1.0.0
• Used gradle build tools version 3.5.3
• Used tooling / Android Studio version 3.5.3

I would be happy if anyone can check this or if i'm the only one with this bug.

@Nailik the start is basically just a synonym for the compoundDrawableLeft if you want to remove a compound drawable programmatically. just use the relevant TextView method

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView#setCompoundDrawables(android.graphics.drawable.Drawable,%20android.graphics.drawable.Drawable,%20android.graphics.drawable.Drawable,%20android.graphics.drawable.Drawable)

(pass null for all)

But why is it not possible to set it to invisible (Why is there the function when it doesn't work). I now use itemView.txtInformation.iconicsDrawableStart!!.alpha(0)

[mikepenz]

This function is from the Drawable class and not from IconicsDrawable

[Nailik]

I see (.. didn't check) ... So i think it's somewhere in TextView invalidateDrawable and just doesn't work with the IconcisDrawable but i can't check at the moment. Couldn't this be fixed in Iconics or do you just want to wait if this one day get's fixed in the Android lib?

As of the Drawable documentation. We might will support this at some date. But no promise. Will investigate regarding if it makes sense to offer.
