Hi,

anyone knows exactly how the size of the icons on Android is determined?
As not an ICO is used but PNG.

Now on one app i use a png of 90x90 which is diplayed bigger then with an PNG of 250x250 from an other app.
I know Livecode scales it down becasue the actual size is smaller.

So how is this done and how is the size determined? Why is the smaller one displayed bigger?

Thanks for any insight on this.

Cheers,
Sphere

Android launcher icons must be 512x512 pixel, png format. The launcher icon is resized only by the phone, not by livecode.

512x512 seems to be when you put it on Google Play Store.
I found some info here.

and

Probably the format is in correlation with the used density dp of the used image.

Not sure yet how it works.

Thanks!
