fontawesome fa-hourglass [] not supported

Question

I use a fontawesome-webfont.ttf font file in my assets folder.

my layout file:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/shop_search"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="5"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="@string/fa_search"
    android:textColor="@color/gray"
    android:textSize="25sp" />

My string file:

 <string name="fa_hourglass">&#xf252;</string>

My java file:

itemView = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(mContext.getAssets(), "fontawesome-webfont.ttf");
itemView .setTypeface(font);

Because in the string.xml file you have defined the string

<string name="fa_hourglass">&#xf252;</string>

But in your TextView you used the wrong string

  android:text="@string/fa_search"

so change the text to this

  android:text="@string/fa_hourglass"
