FontAwesome animation such as fa-spin about android-iconify HOT 7 CLOSED

Available in 2.0.7, released just now.

from android-iconify.

@fadils this project uses a normal textView and just changes the typeFace of the view to render special unicode chars as icon. This does not allow any altering of the style a specific icon has.

Furthermore animating an element within a textview is pretty complicated. You can do an alpha animation like mentioned in this post: http://flavienlaurent.com/blog/2014/01/31/spans/ perhaps it's possible to implement a spin-animation too, but this is probably nothing for the near future.
(this would need a complete rewrite of this whole project)

@mikepenz I knew it was a quite a work for this feature. I was just curious for one thing. If it's gonna be available in near future, how you are going to combine the typeFace conversion, along with an animation and put it as a View attribute.

From your answer, at least I get the picture it won't be available soon. Thanks a lot, Mike.

@fadils as far as i see it would require a huge amount of trying. i haven't found anything similar yet so it could get difficult to add this feature. If you are a bit more into code you can check my try on the whole icon-font topic here: https://github.com/mikepenz/Android-Iconics

so i tried many different things now. seems to be not possible with spans. perhaps with a custom animated drawable. but got no experience with them.

I am gonna try something today. Good thing you pointed out that it seems to be not possible with spans.

After a few tests myself, it is possible with spans, but it needs one more thing: have access to the TextView. I'll investigate to make sure it can't cause a leak and add it to the next version if it's ready at this time.

Syntax would be {fa-something spin}.
