Android Asset Studio: Creating icons with an image does not work

Question

Is anyone else having this problem? http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/index.html When i try to use an image and i upload the image it just turns out to be a grey box. I have tried in all different browsers and still no luck.

Answer 1

You probably have one of two issues.

1) To verify if the image is getting processed, make sure you select 'Launcher Icons' from the main screen as a test. Other icons are not full color, they are Grey or black or white. For Example, the icons for the Action Bar are supposed to be Grey (depending on theme). See the action bar design guidelines. If you see your icon, but it is square instead of it's native 'shape' you have the second issue.

2) Use gif (or png) as your original and make sure you set the transparent color when you created it.

Answer 2

The tool works well for me in several browsers. I suggest you try a different browser, and make sure your bitmap isn't corrupt.
