Hello

I have published my app to the iOS and Android stores but the Android app icon is the corona icon (even though i set icons in https://play.google.com/apps/publish/v2/ ).

The app is a support tool for my tertiary education provider, the app assist students with maths in baking (the app i not meant to be a tool used outside of the courses (the app helps with recipe maths not teach you everything)).

I have used iDeveloper - iCon Generator to generate these icons.

  • ic_google_play_512x512.png
  • ic_launcher_hdpi_72x72.png
  • ic_launcher_ldpi_36x36.png
  • ic_launcher_mdpi_48x48.png
  • ic_launcher_xhdpi_96x96.png
  • ic_status_19x19.png
  • ic_status_25x25.png
  • ic_status_38x38.png
  • ic_tab_24x24.png
  • ic_tab_32x32.png
  • ic_tab_48x48.png

Q1) How can I set the android apps icon pre building?

Q2) What is the default name for android app icons?

From what I understand Android devices (at least Corona Apps) look for specific filenames:

Icon-ldpi.png
Icon-mdpi.png
Icon-hdpi.png
Icon-xhdpi.png

The first I is uppercase, everything else lower and they have to be in the same folder as the main.lua file.

thx, any ideas on the resolutions for the icons? [import]uid: 177551 topic_id: 34888 reply_id: 138671[/import]

Sorry I didn’t post the sizes because I thought you knew that based on this code in the OP:

- ic\_launcher\_hdpi\_72x72.png  
- ic\_launcher\_ldpi\_36x36.png  
- ic\_launcher\_mdpi\_48x48.png  
- ic\_launcher\_xhdpi\_96x96.png

Icon-ldpi.png = 36x36
Icon-mdpi.png = 48x48
Icon-hdpi.png = 64x64
Icon-xhdpi.png = 96x96

Anybody know how to get a non-blurry icon on the Kindle Fire launcher? The icon they use must be one of those just listed, but they scale it up so it looks like crap.

Saw somewhere that you can send the Icon-mdpi with a resolution of 200x200 and it will all work, but I don’t see that as an “official” word anywhere.

The Kindle Fire downloads the high resolution (512x512) from Amazon after the app launches. For side loaded applications, all they can do is blow up the hdpi version. It’s not a pleasant experience and as a KF developer you want to see what the customer’s will see, but in this case, you just have to trust that the user will get the real big image from Amazon when they install the device.
