Saving custom image assets to new Cordova file structure

Hi,

My apps use 9-patch splashscreens and custom notification icons for Android.

These were previously stored in the source under CORDOVA/platforms/android/res/ with subsequent respective drawable folders for each respective density. However that source file structure is different in the latest version of Cordova.

Are you able to advise how to implement those custom assets in the source with the latest version of Cordova?

Thanks,

Chris

Saving custom image assets to new Cordova file structure

OK. I've resolved half this problem. The 9-patch splashscreens now work by renaming all the files and moving them to the root of the splash folder. Then added this to config.xml:

code
<splash density="hdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-hdpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
<splash density="ldpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-ldpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
<splash density="mdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-mdpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
<splash density="xhdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-xhdpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
<splash density="xxhdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-xxhdpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
<splash density="xxxhdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-xxxhdpi-splash&#46;9&#46;png" />
/code

Still working on how to override the notification icon. I'll try a similar solution and update here shortly.

Saving custom image assets to new Cordova file structure

Solved. For notification icons which are different from the main launcher icon, create a folder called 'notification-icon' in your resources/android folder and upload your zipped icons there. One icon for each supported density and each icon in it's respectively named drawable folder (e.g. drawable-mdpi).

Then add this to your config.xml between the android tags:

code<resource-file src="resources/android/notification-icon/drawable-mdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" target="app/src/main/notification-icon/drawable-mdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" />
<resource-file src="resources/android/notification-icon/drawable-hdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" target="app/src/main/notification-icon/drawable-hdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" />
<resource-file src="resources/android/notification-icon/drawable-xhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" target="app/src/main/notification-icon/drawable-xhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" />
<resource-file src="resources/android/notification-icon/drawable-xxhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" target="app/src/main/notification-icon/drawable-xxhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" />
<resource-file src="resources/android/notification-icon/drawable-xxxhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" target="app/src/main/notification-icon/drawable-xxxhdpi/notification_icon&#46;png" /> /code

Finally, edit your home.js file in WEB_RESOURCES/app, adding a comma immediately after the senderID and then on a new line add this:

codeicon: 'notification_icon'/code

This is outlined on the pushplugin page here.
