Abstract :
I would like to use dynamic icons with custom widget. Inorder to use dynamic icons I need Icon data number. Is there there any each way to get the icon data ?
Example :
Icon Name - Icon(Icons.abc)
Needed :
IconData(0xf04b6, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons')
Not using a name but You can extract icon data directly from the icon you mentioned.
Icons.abc.codePoint
Icons.abc.fontFamily

I can see the "face_2" right here in the flutter MaterialIcon listing: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Icons/face_2-constant.html and https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Icons-class.html, but when I try Icons.face_2, flutter can't find it.
I tried to use this code provided in the docs to get the corresponding IconData directly:
IconData(0xf085f, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons')
It gave me an emoji.
I am using the pdf package in flutter for generating pdf from the app. I need to add a clickable kind of thing(hyperlink, button) in pdf but the package doesn't provide any widget for that purpose. Also, the basic flutter widgets couldn't be used for generating the pdf files(restricted by the package). Is there any way to solve it?
Use the Stack widget to put any widget above the pdf ?
The problem is solved now, the pdf package provides the UrlLink for the purpose of opening a link when tapped on the page.
This is the short documentation for the same.
I did it like this-
pw.UrlLink(destination: imageUrl, child: pw.Text('LINK', style: pw.TextStyle(fontSize: size)))
I know there is a way to convert image to Icon via ImageIcon. But I'm using FancyBottomNavigation which is required TabData that has parameter iconData type IconData. Is there anyway to convert image to IconData.
You can easily use svg as IconData using FlutterIcon (Custom Icon Generator). Follow these steps :
Go to FlutterIcon.com
Drag and drop all your Icons
Give a class name (Let's say CustomIcons)
Download and Unzip.
Copy fonts folder to your app folder and add the fonts as you add a normal font in flutter. (See here how to add a custom font).
Copy custom class CustomIcons that we generated to your lib directory.
Use CustomIcons as IconData :
Icon(CustomIcons.hamburger)
I want to use flutter inbuilt icons as assets. So I want default location where all of flutter icons are located in flutter folder of flutter installation.
This would seem to imply that there's a fontFamily named 'MaterialIcons'. Not sure you can get it easily from any part of the Flutter distro, but https://material.io/resources/icons/ will show how to download or reference the font for your material designs.
static const IconData ac_unit_outlined = IconData(0xe005, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons')
I don't think they are. If you look at the IconData class (https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/IconData-class.html). You will see that the description says 'A description of an icon fulfilled by a font glyph.'
Taking an example of one of the Icon values:
static const IconData list_alt = IconData(0xe81b, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons');
I believe what that is telling us is that the Icon is being defined by the position 0xe81b in the Unicode font family called MaterialIcons
Not an answer to the original question, but likely tangentially helpful...
To visually identify & search/filter icons, both from the included MaterialIcons from Google and those created by the Community, check out:
https://materialdesignicons.com/
And to use them, the related pub.dev package for material_design_icons_flutter.
I was wondering how one could use his own icons in a Flutter-Mapbox plugins' marker?
There's no default marker icon (no provided icon - no marker),
and there's not enough documentation on how to use a custom image.
adding a symbol (marker) is as follows:
mapController.addSymbol(
SymbolOptions(
geometry:LatLng(0.0, 0.0), // location is 0.0 on purpose for this example
iconImage: "pin"
)
);
whereas the IconImage, a String, is the field which should contain the data about the icon (obviously), but the given example repository doesn't clarify the needed parameters (url, path etc.).
Providing a path to the assets doesn't work (unlike other widgets). In the example, they provide the IconImage field the value airport-15, and when running the app, it actually works, but I can't seem to find the resources' location (it's not in #drawables or my assets folder, or any other place in the project)
You have to create a custom style on using MapBox Studio.
Create a new dataset if not already exist
Create tileset
Create new style & select customize basic template
Create new layer, give it a name for example my_sym and add newly created datasource
Then click on type & change it to symbol
Now click on my_sym two times. (first one will close the option menu & second one will open a new menu with symbol properties
Click on icon tab & select new icon. You can also upload your own svg icon.
Click on publish
Click on share it will show you the urls.
Copy the type of url & set styleString property.

As of release 0.0.5 it will be possible to load custom icon images for your markers. The idea is to add the icon image to your assets folder (for example: assets/symbols/custom-icon.png). If you specify this image as an asset in your pubspec.yaml and set the iconImage in the SymbolOptions to this path it will be loaded automatically.
Regarding the airport-15, this is an icon provided by the Android implementation of the plugin. It is part of the Maki Icons used in Mapbox. Because these icons are part of the Android implementation you will not find as a Flutter asset or an Android resource of the example app.
