I'm trying to add some Buttons with drawables to my App in Android Studio.
I found the drawables:
ic_menu_camera,
ic_menu_gallery,
ic_menu_manage,
ic_menu_send,
ic_menu_share and
ic_menu_slideshow.
Is there an option to get drawables like "_home, _screen_mirrowing"
Thanks!!
Create your own home and screen_mirrowing images ,You will get option on Right click of mouse on project explorer area New->Asset->
* give your customized image name there
You can basically add any image to your project. Right-click on res -> drawable, and choose New -> Image Asset or New -> Vector Asset. Then you could choose Icon Type as Action Bar and Tab Icons, then in the Asset Type choose Image. Next put in the path to the image you want. For me, I found ic_menu_camera, etc., in the folder C:\Users\myUserId\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platforms\android-26\data\res\drawable-xhdpi
Android Studio will then create image resources in your project for various sizes.

I know i can use my own svg as icons by browsing them from the asset studio but it just show the name not the exact icon of the svg, i can't know just by name what that icon is look like , so can i view them while adding them to project like they are showing in below image?
I have many icon on my computer can i add them to that list , so that i can see them visually when i want to add a new vector asset.
I tend to think that it can be done because then icons which android asset studio is shows must be stored in a directory from where it pulls when when i open asset stdio , if i can add my svg to that directory then android studio may may also pull them too with default clip arts and they may also show up in asset studio, does anyone know what that directory is , or any other way of doing this.
Note android studio does not give such option via UI
When you add a new vector asset (assuming you've added it in the drawable directory), it gets added in the drawable directory.
It is generally saved by the name ic_thatSVGname. So it gets the prefix IC. So please browse in the drawable directory and you will find your vector asset.
Then double click on it so that it opens and you can see the preview on right side of the screen. It it doesn't, just click the PREVIEW button which also reside on the right side of the Android Studio.
So that means just search for that in drawable directory. And while adding new vector assets, right click on the DRAWABLE DIRECTORY only so that it gets into that directory else it might end up outside it.
In android studio 3.3 when I am trying to import image for launcher icon using legacy only option its showing white background icon even after importing the image its showing same and not changing the icon with imported one.
See the screenshot:
What's the problem with android studio 3.3? Any solution?
This is a known issue in Android Studio 3.3, pending the time before it gets fixed. You can be using this awesome open source tool by someone in the community.

SELECT Launcher icon generator
SELECT Image and choose the image from the explorer dialogue
Your selected image will be shown in the right-hand side as below
The finally, you can download the icon generated in mipmap folder
You can also set varieties of options from the left-hand side, options like the background color, color, padding, shape, effect and the generated file name.
I hope this helps someone.
1 > Select Launcher Icon (legacy only)
2 > Select Asset Type : Image
3 > copy paste your image path or select png image by click on the three-dot button right of the textbox
4 > Now open Shape(second last option from bottom) drop-down menu and select option None
5 > Now you can see your png image without the background as you selected
From asset studio select
Asset Type : Clipart
And select any file from the samples and confirm the image is properly appearing on the right side window.
If YES
Again select Asset Type : Image
From there you can navigate to an image path directly instead of copying and pasting image path.
Note: Please confirm that the image you choose fulfills the specifications for a launcher icon.
Usually, I import Google play icon 512*512 (Both my Google play and Launcher icons are same) to Asset studio where other icons sizes will be automatically scaled down by Android Studio Itself
Successfully replicated the issue; it appears to be a bug in Android Studio 3.3.
I have filed a bug report.
When I paste an image or icon into the folder drawable Default choices do not appear Like : xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi look at the picture :
I used the same method in previous times but Now these choices do not appear His method was very easy through selections xxhdpi,xhdpi,hdpi or mdpi in popup window But now what will I do?
I want to import the same icon But in different sizes , It is inside the drawable folder .
I want to show me such a list
You need to create all required folder manually.
like hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi,xxhdpi,xxxhdpi etc and then after that options appear.
If u have all folder types(drawable hdpi,drawable mdpi,drawable xhdpi,drawable xxhdpi,drawable xxxhdpi), just copy these folders, in res\ by right click on res folder and just paste, then android studio update drawable folder to new changes.
I am facing the issue in adding the different density images in drawable folder in android studio.
In the above image i added the images in drawable folder with single density image. I want to add the different density images in a single directory .In below image drawar_shadow.png directory has multiple density images.How can i create the directory like that and add the different density images.I searched in the stack overflow ,i didn't get any idea top solve this.
The drawar_shadow.png you are mentioning is in different folders on your filesystem in actual. This is Android Studio's way of showing it you. You can just add your images in respective folders and Android Studio will show them like this.
Select Project instead of Android in the top dropdown
go to res/ and create your folders with different density there.. OR simply you can use mipmap folder for this purpose
All or Correct Change the Project structure instead of Android Structure. Just your view display separate folder
For Others... add image with different density
button is pressed and select the picture and click ok
if u want change the directory edit button is press.
The easiest way I have found to have the proper "directory" structure appear under the drawable folder for my icons is this. Follow the steps:
Right click "Drawable"
Click on "New", then "Image Asset"
Change "Asset Type" to "Action Bar and Tab Icons"
For "Foreground" choose "ClipArt"
For "Clipart" click and "Choose" button and pick any icon
For "Resource Name" type in you icon file name
Now the pseudo-directories have been created for you under the "Drawable" folder inside the "res" in the Android view.
To add new icons just copy and paste them in drawable the popup will appear showing the different options select according to your need and add.
I'm trying to import a PNG image asset to my project. But the image is losing details. It's just retaining the outer background. The image is transformed to a solid asset:
As you can see, the source asset has a white-tick in the center. But, after importing, it just remains as a solid circle with no ticks. Any solutions?
UPDATE: Tried Android asset studio, but with the same result. What am I missing?:
Thanks to Shafayat Mamun, a workaround is figured out. Here's what I did:
Go to Android Asset Studio
Select Generic Icons (it didn't work for any other option)
Upload the image, pick your color and drag down the color scale to 0% using the scale.
Download the zip and extract to the main folder of the project.
PS: This, though helped me solve my query, but the question remains intact. Why is android studio not capturing the image details while importing? Same is the case while I select Action bar and tab icons in the Android Asset Studio.
do you really need to convert it in the action bar and tab icon generator? i recommend using the simple nine-patch generator here if you want a 9patch image. or the launcher icon generator and set the shape to none and change the image's name after downloading. if you use the launcher icon generator, just modify the shape. if you use the nine-patch generator, you can click trim and click edge transparency if you want to remove the spaces beside the image.
I had the same problem and the Android Asset Studio workaround was a great help. However I discovered another work around. In Android Studio when you create an image asset, instead of selecting Action Bar and Tab icons, I chose Launcher Icons from the drop down. Then the images displayed for me. I had to search for their name and they do not get stored in the drawable folder they end up in the mipmap folder.
So the steps are:
For Android Studio:
Right click on res, new Image Asset
On Asset type choose Launcher Icons
Choose the image path
Give your image a name in Resource name
Next->Finish
The image will be saved in the /res/mipmap folder
