How to use a icons and symbols from “Font Awesome” on Native Android Application

Font Awesome:

Font Awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.

Use in Android:

Font Awesome seems to be working fine for me in Android Application.Do you complete following steps:

1. Copied fontawesome-webfont.ttf into my assests folder
2. Found the character entities for icons I wanted, using this page: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/
3. Created an entry in strings.xml for each icon. Eg for a heart:

   <string name="icon_heart">&#xf004;</string>

4. Referenced said entry in the view of my xml layout or programmatically:

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/like"
        style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
        ...
        android:text="@string/icon_heart" />

5. OR

6. button.setText((R.string.icon_heart));

7. Loaded the font in my onCreate method and set it for the appropriate Views:

   Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
   ...
   Button button = (Button)findViewById( R.id.like );
   button.setTypeface(font);
