Creating Android Apps: Need more info...

Post by akee »

1. For Android apps, what is the size of the icon? the documentation https://www.spiderbasic.com/documentati ... teapp.html did not list it.

How do we include multiple icons?


2. What is the minimum OS versions for iOS and Android?

1. uknown but i think icon is not fixed, it uses icon based in some criteria, i.e. in tablets bigger etc , so must include all of them :(

2. latest SB uses cordova11 , so based on that, should run on android 5.1 and above

I found two 72x72 and 144x144 icons inside the APK file. The path is \res\yn.png and \res\RJ.png. From this, I conclude that the icon should be 144x144 in size so that it has maximum clarity in the android launcher.

I wondered why the icon is not transparent, but with a white background around it. I found information from the search engine that the icon should be adaptive, 432x432 in size, consisting of two layers, two files, one is the icon itself, and the second is the background, but from the description I realized that it is a transparency mask for the top layer. But as I understand it, the adaptive icon is not supported.
