WARNING: Asset file "widget_theme_android@4x.png" does not exist.

Running Widget Demo, CL Sample, on a retina Android device I get the following on my console : 

V/Corona  (26077): WARNING: Asset file “widget_theme_android@4x.png” does not exist.

Any plans to include this theme file in the widgets library? Thanks.

This will fall back and pick up the @2x resource.  I’ll ask engineering about it.

Rob

Sure. Fallback to @2x is a good preventive measure but why not avoid it in the first place by supplying the theme file. The retina users want retina quality in the apps they use right? 

@ksan: they sure want retina quality. We’ll fix it.

Great going! Thank you very much for that commitment.

Hi Alex, its been more than a month. This is probably the easiest thing to tick off the list. Any ideas when?

Still doesn’t seem fixed - I’m getting the error with the APK expansion files - “download resource files” - missing android.app@4x.icon, android.app@2x.icon and widget_theme_android@4x.png

There isn’t a widget_theme_android@4x.png file.  You can ignore this warning.  I’ve never seen the android.app@4x.icon message before.  I’m not sure where that’s coming from.

This is still an issue. I think it happens when creating buttons:

V/Corona  (27483): WARNING: Asset file “widget_theme_android@3x.png” does not exist.

 

This is on a Nexus 5 with L, Corona build 2015.2638.

Can you fix this? Otherwise every time there is scrolling that creates a button, Corona will try to access the filesystem, fail, and have to retry. This slows performance unnecessarily.

Are you trying to load @3x assets in your config.lua?

Interesting! I hadn’t thought of that. This is the config.lua excerpt:

        imageSuffix =         {             ["@2x"] = 1.5,             ["@3x"] = 2.5,         }

At this time I think we are only providing @2x and @4x assets. If you can adjust your app accordingly, then you can work around the problem.  I’ll see if we are planning @3x assets.
