Jan Piotrowski (Sujan) updated CB-13685:
----------------------------------------
    Description: 
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.

https://developer.android.com/studio/write/image-asset-studio.html

The following resources are created.

{code}
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
{code}

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)
