App icon too small on android device

[Ridha Gadhgadhi]

I created my first mobile app using appery.io and is amazing for me. Everything works fine, from the devloppment through the exportation of the binary android file until the app installation on Samsung device.

However, the app icon is too small compared with other installed apps.

I tried different format such as 36x36, 48x48, 72x72, 96x96, etc., but all fail. It seems there is a problem in appery.io about android launch icon.
So, have you any idea how can I bypass this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alena,

Many thanks for your answer. I have already read this article and tried several times uploading my icon as said above. But, when I install the app, the icon appears too small.

Thanks.

We'll test it and someone will get back to reply.

Hello!

Could you clarify what device you use to test? What is Android version?
Please also clarify what Libraries version is used?

Hi Maryna,

I use Samsung Galaxy S3 and Android version is 4.3.

For Libraries, I used those by default.

Thx.

You can manually upload icons with corresponding sizes on Source tab.
These links should help:

I tried as suggested in your links, but always doesn't work.

Dear Ridha,

Please post a screenshot of how you do this (Source tab) and specify the icon size and folder.

Hi Katya,

It was my old icon the source of the problem and not the appery.io platform. Sorry about that!

Indeed, my old icon has a shadow which makes it appears too small than others. Now, I used new icon without shadow, and it works fine. .

Concerning the upload of the icon, I uploaded it from the app settings page (Android binary) and works correctly. I can also see the new icon in the source tab in new path as follow: Android/myapp_name/res/drawable/appicon.png

Thanks for all.
