I downloaded Android drawable importer, but when i clicked + button after click batch drawable importer and paste png file, nothing is displayed how can i go through this problem?
I have struggled through it too. As it turns out, by Android Studio 3.6.1 this plugin began to not working anymore. As of now, you can use Android Assets studios over the web, like this and this one.
Is there a way for the Structure tab in Android Studio to appear under your project files like in PHPStorm? As it stands now, it appears on the side as shown below.
PHPStorm
Android Studio 3.1.2
Drag and Drop the tab Structure and put it on the bottom left.
I'm using the Android Studio of 1.51 version,I don't know how to built a xml file in the drawable folder.When I clicked right button I found a XML selecton at the bottom,but it only can be used to build layout xml file or Values xml file.THX
Because Android studio adds padding to custom icons(this is a known problem) i was playing with different images and putting them using File->new ImageAsset.
Now i have too many of same image.png in all folders.
Is there way to delete all corresponding images at once in all mipmap folders?
In Android Studio change your folder view from whatever it is (project/packages etc) to Android and it will group the similar images together in one file. All you have to do is delete the file
Nevermind, when you delete image from mipmap folder, android studio asks to delete all other corresponding images at once! solved
I downloaded collection of icons from Android Developers center
Each icon in this collection is ordered in forlders according to its resolution: drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, drawable-xhdpi, drawable-xxhdpi.
Is there a way to import all the 4 icon's files in one action to Android Studio or I need to copy it one by one?
(when I used new->Image Asset , I had to fill a file path, I couldn't fill it with folder path)
Update 25/2/15:
According to this SO question, seems like there is a way to generate the 4 size of icons by Android Asset Studio, and then import the zip file directly to your Android Studio project res folder - has anyone used it?
Edit :
After Android Studios 1.5 android support Vector Asset Studio.
Follow this, which says:
To start Vector Asset Studio:
In Android Studio, open an Android app project.
In the Project window, select the Android view.
Right-click the res folder and select New > Vector Asset.
Old Answer
Go to Settings > Plugin > Browse Repository > Search Android Drawable Import
This plugin consists of 4 main features.
AndroidIcons Drawable Import
Material Icons Drawable Import
Scaled Drawable
Multisource-Drawable
How to Use Material Icons Drawable Import : (Android Studio 1.2)
Go to File > Setting > Other Settings > Android Drawable Import
Download Material Icon and select your downloaded path.
Now right click on project , New > Material Icon Import
Use your favorite drawable in your project.
Actually if you downloaded the icons pack from the android web site, you will see that you have one folder per resolution named drawable-mdpi etc.
Copy all folders into the res (not the drawable) folder in Android Studio. This will automatically make all the different resolution of the icon available.
For custom images you created yourself, you can do without the plugin:
Right click on res folder, selecting New > Image Asset. browse image file. Select the largest image you have.
It will create all densities for you. Make sure you select an original image, not an asset studio image with an alpha, or you will semi-transpartent it twice.
If for some reason you don't want to use the plugin, then here's the script you can use to copy the resources to your android studio project:
echo "..:: Copying resources ::.."
echo "Enter folder:"
read srcFolder
echo "Enter filename with extension:"
read srcFile
cp /Users/YOUR_USER/Downloads/material-design-icons-master/"$srcFolder"/drawable-xxxhdpi/"$srcFile" /Users/YOUR_USER/AndroidStudioProjects/YOUR_PROJECT/app/src/main/res/drawable-xxxhdpi/"$srcFile"/
echo "xxxhdpi copied"
cp /Users/YOUR_USER/Downloads/material-design-icons-master/"$srcFolder"/drawable-xxhdpi/"$srcFile" /Users/YOUR_USER/AndroidStudioProjects/YOUR_PROJECT/app/src/main/res/drawable-xxhdpi/"$srcFile"/
echo "xxhdpi copied"
cp /Users/YOUR_USER/Downloads/material-design-icons-master/"$srcFolder"/drawable-xhdpi/"$srcFile" /Users/YOUR_USER/AndroidStudioProjects/YOUR_PROJECT/app/src/main/res/drawable-xhdpi/"$srcFile"/
echo "xhdpi copied"
cp /Users/YOUR_USER/Downloads/material-design-icons-master/"$srcFolder"/drawable-hdpi/"$srcFile" /Users/YOUR_USER/AndroidStudioProjects/YOUR_PROJECT/app/src/main/res/drawable-hdpi/"$srcFile"/
echo "hdpi copied"
cp /Users/YOUR_USER/Downloads/material-design-icons-master/"$srcFolder"/drawable-mdpi/"$srcFile" /Users/YOUR_USER/AndroidStudioProjects/YOUR_PROJECT/app/src/main/res/drawable-mdpi/"$srcFile"/
echo "mdpi copied"
Newer versions of Android support vector graphics, which is preferred over PNG icons. Android Studio 2.1.2 (and probably earlier versions) comes with Vector Asset Studio, which will automatically create PNG files for vector graphics that you add.
The Vector Asset Studio supports importing vector icons from the SDK, as well as your own SVG files.
This article describes Vector Asset Studio:
https://developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio.html
Summary for how to add a vector graphic with PNG files (partially copied from that URL):
In the Project window, select the Android view.
Right-click the res folder and select New > Vector Asset.
The Material Icon radio button should be selected; then click Choose
Select your icon, tweak any settings you need to tweak, and Finish.
Depending on your settings (see article), PNGs are generated during build at the app/build/generated/res/pngs/debug/ folder.
just like Gregory Seront said here:
Actually if you downloaded the icons pack from the android web site, you will see that you have one folder per resolution named drawable-mdpi etc. Copy all folders into the res (not the drawable) folder in Android Studio. This will automatically make all the different resolution of the icon available.
but if your not getting the images from a generator site (maybe your UX team provides them), just make sure your folders are named drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi, etc. then in mac select all folders by holding shift and then copy them (DO NOT DRAG). Paste the folders into the res folder. android will take care of the rest and copy all drawables into the correct folder.
Since Android Studio 3.4, there is a new tool called Resource manager. It supports importing many drawables at once (vectors, pngs, ...) . Follow the official documentation.
what u need to do is icons downloaded from material design, open that folder there are lots of icons categories specified, open any of it choose any icon and go to this folder -> drawable-anydpi-v21. this folder contains xml files copy any xml file and paste it to this location ->
C:\Users\Username\AndroidStudioProjects\ur project name\app\src\main\res\drawable. That's it !! now you can use the icon in ur project.
