-----------------------------------
[~Sujan12] There's an npm package for automatically creating app icons from an
image file. Maybe you mean that. It doesn't support adaptive icons, though.
[~bowserj] I'll propably do just that, because I need an interim solution. I
just wanted to post this as an issue, because I feel that adaptive icons are
the way forward for Android. It seems that Google put quite some thought into
this new app icon system.
Here's an idea:
A definition in config.xml like this:
{{<icon src-foreground="res/android/icon-foreground.png"
src-background="res/android/icon-foreground.png" platform="android" width="108"
height="108" density="mdpi" />}}
And in addition to that a plugin that generates the fallback image resources
for older devices.
> Android Adaptive Icons
> ----------------------
>
> Key: CB-13685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13685
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cordova-android
> 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.
> 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)
