Font Awesome doesn't work with direct string input

I want to set font awesome to one text view in my application. I used it like below and it works fine:

 Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fontawesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
 TextView awesomeButton = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.awesome_button);
 awesomeButton.setTypeface(font);
 awesomeButton.setText(MainActivity.this.getString(R.string.heart));

But when i want to use it like below cod, It doesn't work:

Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset( getAssets(), "fontawesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf" );
TextView awesomeButton = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.awesome_button);
awesomeButton.setTypeface(font);
awesomeButton.setText("");
