Summary: Android Adaptive Icons
Key: CB-13685
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13685
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cordova-android
Affects Versions: [email protected]
Environment: All
Reporter: Josef Brandl
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Priority: Minor
Starting with Android 8 Oreo (API level 26) Android allows developers to create
app icons using a background and a foreground image file. This feature is
called "adaptive icons". One major change that goes with this feature is that
icons get now clipped into a shape by the system. This leads to a very uniform
and clean design like on iOS where all icons are a rounded rectangle. The other
advantage is that visual effects can be applied to the icon by the system due
to the separation between foreground an background.
Android Studio greatly assists the developer at the creation of the app icon
resources because it creates backwards compatible icons for older devices that
don't support the adaptive icons feature.

The following resources are created.
{{
res
├── drawable
│ ├── ic_launcher_background.xml
│ └── ic_launcher_foreground.xml
├── mipmap-anydpi-v26
│ ├── ic_launcher.xml
│ └── ic_launcher_round.xml
├── mipmap-hdpi
│ ├── ic_launcher.png
│ └── ic_launcher_round.png
├── mipmap-mdpi
│ ├── ic_launcher.png
│ └── ic_launcher_round.png
├── mipmap-xhdpi
│ ├── ic_launcher.png
│ └── ic_launcher_round.png
├── mipmap-xxhdpi
│ ├── ic_launcher.png
│ └── ic_launcher_round.png
└── mipmap-xxxhdpi
├── ic_launcher.png
└── ic_launcher_round.png
}}
It is currently not clear how these files can be used inside a cordova project.
- res/mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml points to other image resources
(foreground, background)
- The foreground and background can be vector graphics (-> xml files in
res/drawable)
- The documentation needs to be updated
(I've never reported an issue using JIRA before - I'm only used to github. So,
please guide me if I'm doing something incorrect)
