AndroidBoostrap preview mode: Font not properly registered

Question

I'm using AndroidBootstrap 2.0.0 for implementing their buttons and icons in my android application but in AndroidStudio I always get an annoying exception because of rendering problems in the Graphical Layout Editor. Moreover the button is not displayed in the Graphical Layout Editor, but when I run the application on my device the buttons are shown and working properly. So the error occurs only in the preview mode.

This is the exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Font 'fontawesome-webfont-v440.ttf' not properly registered

I added AndroidBootstrap in my manifest as dependency, added TypefaceProvider.registerDefaultIconSets(); to my Application class and imported the fontawesome-webfont-v440.ttf font file to my projects assets/fonts folder.

Do I miss anything? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Don't panic you have everything right. :)

This is a bug in the library, the icons should be hidden in Edit Mode. I have raised this to Jamie@BeardedHen and under the GitHub repo.

This will be resolved in the 2.0.1 release, and I have raised a fork request to add View.isInEditMode() to the instantiation method.
