[Resolved] My Icon seems to not work

Hi

Just built and uploaded an app to google play, but on install it is still using the default corona icon (circular orange).
We have the following files in the main folder:

Icon-hdpi.png which is 72x72,
Icon-mdpi.png which is 48 x 48,
Icon-ldpi.png which is 36 x 36

What could we be missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Icon-hdpi.png should be 64x64

Also we now support Icon-xhdpi.png at 96x96 but I don’t think it’s required.

Thanks Rob - I will try changing Icon-hdpi.png to 64 x 64

However I noticed that the android build documentation for corona states it should be 72 x 72:
http://developer.coronalabs.com/content/building-devices-android#Application_Icons

as does android developer website:
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html#size

Is this something that has perhaps changed recently in Corona?

Interesting. The icons used to half power of twos… 48, 64, 96 with the odd ball being 36 instead of 32. I’ve read that doc multiple times too. I wonder if they changed it recently.

They say 72 and we say 72 so I must be wrong. The only other thing is to make sure it starts with a capital I and the dash s a real dash and not a ndash or ndash. That is it has to be the minus sign typed from the keyboard. If you copy/paste it from a web page, that dash may have been converted to a more stylish dash.

Ok, worked it out finally!

Confirmed that its 72,48 and 36 for the sizes.

All that happened with me was that in windows explorer the file name was showing as “Icon-hdpi.png” for example, but then I realised when I saw the assets listed in Corona Project Manager, that file was called “Icon-hdpi.png.png”

i.e. just needed to rename the file in windows to Icon-hdpi and take away the unnecessary “.png”

Thanks for your help :slight_smile:
