Joe Bowser commented on CB-13685:
---------------------------------
This level of Android customization is something that Cordova doesn't have. I
don't know about making this a plugin since this is compile-time generation
which would just be hooks, and the plugin itself wouldn't have any
platform-specific source code behind it. That does seem dirty, but may be the
best approach here in the short term.
Of course, you can just open the Android project in Android Studio and use
those tools, but then you run the risk of losing your changes after upgrading.

> Android Adaptive Icons
> ----------------------
>
> Key: CB-13685
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13685
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cordova-android
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Josef Brandl
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
>
> Starting with Android 8 Oreo (API level 26) Android allows developers to
> create app icons using a background and a foreground image file. This feature
> is called "adaptive icons". One major change that goes with this feature is
> that icons get now clipped into a shape by the system. This leads to a very
> uniform and clean design like on iOS where all icons are a rounded rectangle.
> The other advantage is that visual effects can be applied to the icon by the
> system due to the separation between foreground an background.
> Android Studio greatly assists the developer at the creation of the app icon
> resources because it creates backwards compatible icons for older devices
> that don't support the adaptive icons feature.
> https://developer.android.com/studio/write/image-asset-studio.html
> The following resources are created.
> {code}
> res
> ├── drawable
> │ ├── ic_launcher_background.xml
> │ └── ic_launcher_foreground.xml
> ├── mipmap-anydpi-v26
> │ ├── ic_launcher.xml
> │ └── ic_launcher_round.xml
> ├── mipmap-hdpi
> │ ├── ic_launcher.png
> │ └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-mdpi
> │ ├── ic_launcher.png
> │ └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-xhdpi
> │ ├── ic_launcher.png
> │ └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-xxhdpi
> │ ├── ic_launcher.png
> │ └── ic_launcher_round.png
> └── mipmap-xxxhdpi
> ├── ic_launcher.png
> └── ic_launcher_round.png
> {code}
> It is currently not clear how these files can be used inside a cordova
> project.
> - res/mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml points to other image resources
> (foreground, background)
> - The foreground and background can be vector graphics (-> xml files in
> res/drawable)
> - The documentation needs to be updated
> (I've never reported an issue using JIRA before - I'm only used to github.
> So, please guide me if I'm doing something incorrect)
