react-native-vector-icons: Icons not being displayed

Hi,

I’m trying to use xotahal/react-native-material-ui module but icons doesn’t seem to work. I’m opening the issue here, because I can’t make icons appear even when using basic example:

import Icon from 'react-native-vector-icons/FontAwesome'; const myIcon = (<Icon name="rocket" size={30} color="#900" />)

I’ve checked all steps of installation guide and everything seems to be correct, I’ve also tried steps from troubleshooting, but still nothing. It looks like the icon is being rendered because if I add the onPress prop it will be activated properly, but icon is not displayed and I can’t see it.

Could you please help me find out what could be causing this problem?

Environment details:

Windows 10
Android 4.1.2 (testing on real device)
React Native 0.43
react-native-vector-icons 4.1.0

Never mind! https://github.com/oblador/react-native-vector-icons/issues/449#issuecomment-298396164 had worked for me.

After several desperate tries of removing and reinstalling node_modules and running react-native run-android I can finally see icons. 😄

Once after installing the module, link it to the project.

react-native link react-native-vector-icons

write this command

react-native link

this command will download fonts of react native vector icons in both of android and ios then the icons will show
