Menardi commented on issue #448: CB-13685 android: Adaptive Icon Support
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/448#issuecomment-398943023
This PR looks good to me. I need adaptive icons for one of my own apps, so
I'm eager to see this get merged soon. Without support for this, icons for apps
using `cordova-android@7` (targeting API 26+) look a bit rubbish on newer
devices.
I noticed the main cordova-android maintainer, Joe, has announced on the
mailing list that he is stepping down. So, I expect that getting this
thoroughly reviewed is now more difficult. If there is anything I can do to get
this over the line, please let me know.

> 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)
