Can someone kindly tell me what is the ideal icon size for an app? I read the forums and found it to be 64x64. However, when I view my app on the home screen, the icon looks literally half the size of Skype's icon.. or any other icon for that matter. I think for tabbed menus, the size is 48x48 - can someone confirm?

Was just wondering what size icons can we use to customize our evos. I've been using 256 png's. Can we use bigger icons? Also, can we use .ico for icons too?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just switched from Evo to Epic. (Loved Evo but mine had known h/w issue where screen does not respond to touch).
The Evo had a Google search icon that was the same square size as other icons. The Epic has the big horizontal one. I would like smaller icon to regain some real estate. Possible?
Also, on my default 5th home screen are icons for Cnn, youtube, and ESPN. I would like icons for my fave websites. Any easy way to do that. I bookmarked them in my browser, but that involves opening browser and clicking bookmarks, etc.
Is it 64x64 our 72x72?

This got me thinking - my girlfriend is an Arts student and can undoubtedly pull out some pretty fancy things on Adobe Illustrator or whatever absurdly overpriced and complex devices and programs they use in this branch. She could design my own little icons
So, could anyone please be kind enough to enlighten me on the format & size of:Normal application icons
Dock icons (slightly smaller I'd assume) HTC Desire Wallpapers And whatever else there is that I can't think of...
e.g. "Well, my dear Lmkt, regular icons are usually 58*74 pixels and should be in jpg or png format."
I wanted to change the size of my icons, so that more of them could fit on the screen. So I download LCD Density Modder and Increased the amount to 160. After I booted my phone, my screen got zoomed in instead of decreasing. Now I cant even type up my password cause the numbers can't fit in the screen. I have no access to my phone because my phone is locked. Btw, I have a Samsung Galaxy Fit S5670 (rooted) .
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I'm loading images from a web service, but the size of the images are sometimes smaller or bigger than other images and the visualization looks silly when I put them in a ListView in android. I'd like to fix the size of my ImageView so that it only shows a portion of the image if it's larger than a preset amount. I've tried everything I can think of setting the setMaxWidth/setMaxHeight, setting the scale type to centerCrop, using ClipableDrawable wrapping my BitmapDrawable, setting using Drawable.setBounds(). I've tried setting in the XML and programmatically, but neither worked. I'm very surprised setting max width/height didn't do anything. Below is the XML I'm using ImageView definition in my layout file
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently developing a dictionary application with voice database. I would like to know about the current Android limitation on the file size. I am using a self-provided sqlite database ( > 50mb ) . I tested that once the built .apk size exceeds ~30mb the app will not be installed onto the simulator (INSTALL_FAILED_ INSUFFICIENT _STORAGE). Could anyone confirm me that if up until now there is no way to embed such large size files in a single apk ( Aimed to sell at Google Market without requiring user to download datafile afterwards). Also, is there a limitation of 1,048,576 bytes for a single file in the assets folder ?

I would like to see how my app works on a 800x600 android netbook. how can i setup an emulator with this size?
thanks chris
I manage a cache of bitmap. Do you have an advise to fix the maximum size of it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan somebody explain to me what makes up the installed application size? I have an apk that is about 8 MB, and often when I install I get the INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error. I have around 25-30 MB free space on the phone. I'm doing debugging so I have to upload lots of new versions. If I uninstall the previous version then I can install the new version. The application manager claims that the app is taking up 22 MB. So back to the original question, how come the app is taking up 22 MB when it really only is 8 MB?

Is there any explaination of that?

Because I get to edit files, but I am looking for a long time without finding how to put ALL the icons on the left, and keep only the icons on the right as in the picture.
My app downloads .png files to the sd card for later use. I kept getting OutOfMemoryErrors (if anyone could explain this too, that'd be great!) and so I took a look at the sizes of the images saved to the sd card, and they seem to be roughly double what they are on the server. Why is this, and how can I make them smaller?
public void onCreate(Bundle saved)
setContentView(R.layout.namedrxnscreen);
TextView t1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text1);
TextView t2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text2);
TextView t3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text3);
TextView t4 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.rxn_text4);
iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.rxn_image);
pb = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.rxn_loading);
vs = (ViewSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.rxn_switch);
I notice that the home screen is customizable but not the four applications on the bottom, the call, email, browser and applications. How would I change those icons with different icons? Mainly the email and browser. How do I turn off or at least severly limit the data that goes to and from my phone. I do not have wireless and am just a bit paranoid about going over my data limit. I got the phone from work and this is my first smartphone so I am a bit nervous about anything I do on it.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post. I've had a Moto Droid since day one, and I just love it. It is without a doubt better than any phone that I've had over the years, and that includes the iPhone, BB, etc.
However, there are 2 things that I don't understand - Font size and a spell checker. It is imposiible to read the small font size in emails or text messages.
1. Why has there not been an app to either change the font size or be able to zoom in? Picasy has incorporated multi-touch for zooming, so I've to assume that its doable! Why not have the same in an email client.
2. Why is there not an email client out there that allows for spell checking? There are many such apps for the BB! I am a terrible speller.
I am not complaining, I just want to understand the limitations from a developers prospective, as I am sure these isuues will eventually be addressed.
I have an ImageView which I want to always be the same size. If the image is smaller than the view, I'd like it to be centred in the view. If the Image is larger than the view then I'd like it scaled down - with aspect ratio preserved.I've had several attempts at this myself
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created a custom icon bar in Android using the XML layout creator, using a RadioGroup within a LinearLayout (XML included below). Each RadioButton within the RadioGroup has a custom drawable (with checked and unchecked states) as its android:button attribute. The Linear layout is itself within a RelativeLayout so that it can appear at an arbitrary position on the screen (as a side bar, in this instance).The drawables are 55 pixels wide, and the android:layout_width attribute of all these views is "wrap_content".When I make this component visible, aligned to the bottom-left of the screen, only about three-quarters of the RadioButton image widths are visible. Setting the layout_width of the RelativeLayout to "fill_parent" rectifies this and causes the full button to appear.However this means that the button group consumes click events across the entire width of the screen. How can I make the entire button appear, and have only the area of the button respond to clicks? Hard-coding the width of the drawable is not a particularly desirable solution.<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" android:layout_width ="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below ="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:visibility="invisible"><RadioGroup android :id ="@+id/ RadioGroup01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:checkedButton="@+id/RB01" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/RB01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:button="@drawable/DR01"/><RadioButton android:id="@+id/RB02" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:button="@drawable/DR02"/>
