What happens when you do this: icon.setTextColor(Color RED); — Tushar Gogna, Feb 23 '15 at 10:51

try this

    Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
            "fontawesome-webfont.ttf");

    gmail_icon.setTypeface(font);

    gmail_icon.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));

You could try this :

Set a color in your colors.xml :

<color name="test">#0f0f0f</color>

In your XML do this :

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/landing_drawer_image"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/width_40"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/height_40"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/margin_15"
        android:textColor="@color/test"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:text="Drawable"
        />

To set the TypeFace you can do it by two ways

1.-

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(
getContext().getAssets(), 
"fonts/YourTypeFace.ttf");
YourTextView.setTypeface(font);

2.- android:typeface="YOURTTF"

To set your TextSize you have to add in your xml file

 android:textSize="@dimen/font_size"/>

Try this and if you have any problem let me know, hope my answered helped you somehow :)
