android:textAllCaps="true" causing icons not to display

[fredszaq]

When adding android:textAllCaps="true" to a text view with icons, the icons are not displayed, a stroked square or nothing at all is displayed depending on the device used

I need a fix too...

It's actually a incompatibility between textAllCaps and spans.
See https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67509

I'm not sure what I should do about it :

• Add a custom attribute allCaps usable on IconTextView, IconButton, etc.. instead of the original one. That would still break integration with other libraries that use Spans.
• Allow you to easily uppercase your texts using textView.setText("hello {icon}".toUpperCase()) without breaking Iconify, by doing toLowerCase on icon keys internally. But that means icon keys would become case-independant, which is a (minor) breaking change.
• Nothing

@fredszaq @pinfrederic WDYT?

Well I think I'll take the third option after all, there's no good way to solve this.

[fredszaq]

It seems to be the best option yes !

Obviously this is your own project and I respect every decision you make about it, but when this bug bites you it bites you hard. At least for me this is a deal breaker.

Making icon keys case insensitive doesn't seem to be too bad an option in my opinion. Perhaps you can think about it one more time :) ?
