Ionic app icon not change in android

Question

I have project in ionic, I already set icon using ionic CLI.

In iOS the icon is changed, but in android its not changed.

Here is my config.xml:

<platform name="android">
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-ldpi-icon.png" density="ldpi"/>
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-mdpi-icon.png" density="mdpi"/>
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi-icon.png" density="hdpi"/>
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xhdpi-icon.png" density="xhdpi"/>
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xxhdpi-icon.png" density="xxhdpi"/>
    <icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xxxhdpi-icon.png" density="xxxhdpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-ldpi-screen.png" density="port-ldpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-mdpi-screen.png" density="port-mdpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-hdpi-screen.png" density="port-hdpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-xhdpi-screen.png" density="port-xhdpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-xxhdpi-screen.png" density="port-xxhdpi"/>
    <splash src="resources/android/splash/drawable-port-xxxhdpi-screen.png" density="port-xxxhdpi"/>
</platform>

I checked plaftorm/android/res but icon and splashscreen are not changed.

I delete and re add the platform but it has no effect.

EDITED:

I sure image exists in resources directory and like I said before i already use ionic CLI command ionic resources

this my resources icon this icon in platform ios and this icon in platform android

Answer 1

It's a cordova issue. https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-cli/issues/1608 Uninstall cordova(6.4.0) and downgrade it to 6.3.1

npm uninstall -g cordova npm install -g [email protected]

After that remove the Android platform and add it again.

TO CHANGE IONIC DEFAULT APP ICON

If you're using windows PC to execute your CLI. Do these 5 STEPS action

STEP 1

install capacitor resources by running npm install capacitor-resources -g

STEP 2

Create just 4 customized images (app icon, splash screen, icon background, and icon foreground) using any image editing software.

a. app icon - (a png file with dimension 1024x1024) and save as icon.png inside <Project Directory>/resources/ Let it replace the default

b. splash screen - (a png file with dimension 2732x2732) and save as splash.png inside <Project Directory>/resources/ Let it replace the default

c. icon background - (a png file with dimension 432x432) You may decide to make the color transparent or not and save as icon-background.png inside <Project Directory>/resources/android/

b. icon foreground - (a png file with dimension 432x432) and save as icon-foreground.png inside <Project Directory>/resources/android/ icon foreground is just same as app icon. it is the logo that will represent your app in app collections.

STEP 3

let capacitor help you to make the icon and splash in multiple dimensions by running

ionic cordova resources

STEP 4

copy the resources to the android build by running cordova-res --skip-config --copy

STEP 5

then run either of the following from the project directory, depending on whichever works for you. number 1 worked for me.

1. cd android && gradlew assembleDebug && cd ..

2. ionic cordova run android
