Android Adaptive Icons

Android allows us to create adaptive icons (various shapes for one icon for different devices) for:
  • launcher icons
  • shortcuts
  • Setting app
  • sharing dialogs
  • overview screen
You have to provide the following layers 108x108 dp:
  • top mask (circle, squircle, rounded square, square) provided by device OEM (e.g. Samsung)
  • foreground layer 72x72 dp should be visible in the mask viewport
  • background layer

The edge 18 dp are reserved for system's special effects.

Use Android Studio 3.0 Asset Studio to create these adaptive icons.

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
