Hi all,

How can change the icon for the App launcher other than corona icon when I build my applications for android using windows simulator?

I read few blogs talking about it but I am little confused.

Just use this excellent service put up by a fellow Corona SDK user. You simply give it a 1024 x 1024 copy of your icon and it will give you all you need correctly named. Good luck.

Hi ksan

It is a very good tool but it does not create launch images (splash screens).

Oh I see what you mean. In reality those screens are always a little bit customized. You see company logos there, game icons or names etc. Perhaps the tool could spit out some generic black background files for you in all the right sizes so you can just drop them into the project to get going but you would still need to customize them along the way.

Why not go to the link where this tool is presented and make a suggestion to its creator?

the problem i am getting for launch logo image due to keeping images in side sub folder(Images Folder). when i keep images in root folder(project folder) then its work fine. but inside sub folder where i keep all usable images for game. then, its not showing for that image, bydefault images(corona image) its showing. so any help for this…?

up to my understanding ( I could be wrong) : the icons and launcher images should be in the root folder. The rest of the images can be placed in any folder.
