959379 - App icon in the launcher is fuzzy

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Sriram Ramasubramanian [:sriram]]

The app icon in the launcher of HTC One is fuzzy. It's a XHDPI device. So, the launcher takes the icon from XXHDPI folder.

Oh wait, S4 is a XXHDPI folder. So, it would need a XXXHDPI folder. The code base lacks both these folders.

Sriram!

Can I get some guidance on the app icon sizes we need here?

Comment 2

[Ian Barlow (:ibarlow)]

Hm so I did some digging, and it sounds like 144x144 is the XXHDPI size we want. And I have already made these and they should be in the app. So... What's the deal here? Do we need any even bigger size?

Let's check inside the APK to see if the XXHDPI icon.png is there. Maybe we are not putting the icon into the APK.

Cool. Meanwhile here they are again, in case we need them http://cl.ly/0i433o1p2E0q

Icons aren't fuzzy on my HTC One M7 (Sense, KitKat). Our APK contains a 144x144 icon.png in drawable-xxhdpi.

Apparently the Google Experience Launcher in KitKat uses xxxhdpi on xxhdpi devices (e.g., Nexus 5) for launcher icons, but the HTC One isn't in that set, because Sense.

xxxhdpi launcher icons are 192x192. Kindle Fire wants 675x675.

That assets zip, Ian, contains 144x144 and 512x512. Do you have a pre-sized icon for 192x192?

192x192 should be about 36KB. Do we 40KB-want this?

Yes

Are we going to want to support xxhdpi icons for all the other resources in the app? That would probably be a lot of work, but maybe we should choose a few choice icons to start with? Out of scope of this bug, but related.

Yeah, we probably should start thinking about that. Bah.

Ian, can I get a Fennec head, 192x192? Comment 7 only has the three official channels.

I landed without unofficial. We'll see how this works when it reaches Nightly!

[Ian Barlow (:ibarlow)]

Thanks Richard. To be honest itll take some digging to even find that old fennec icon file, heh

AaronMT reports that this isn't fixed.

Both files are in the APK:

res/drawable-xxxhdpi/icon.png: PNG image data, 192 x 192, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced
res/drawable-xxhdpi/icon.png: PNG image data, 144 x 144, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced

so it looks like we're hitting:

I'm pretty sure we don't want to yank xxhdpi, so we might just have to suffer this. Anyone have a different opinion?

I didn't even know we had a problem?

The Nightly icon on my Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.4, GEL) looks fine to me.

Then great!

See Comment 5 for the bug this fixed.
