Can't import assets from adobe XD into android studio

I made a UI layout using adobe XD and wanted to export it to use in android studio.
I achieved this by using the Export-kit plugin, which conveniently exported all my required assets for one page into a folder.
Exported assets folder
the readme.txt then directs me to copy all these assets to the folder for the noactivity project folder for android studio.
after doing so , I still don't get any response.
So, I try it with a basic activity and manually add all the required XML codes (activity_main,colours,styles,e.t.c) , but still don't see anything.
I know that the skins exported from xd are in the project folder
(Copied values in the projects folder)
but I cant seem to view them on android studio.
Android Studio Window
any help in this issue will be really appreciated.

You have to put those files in the drawables folder inside the res folder, and keep the colors, string into their respective folder in the values folder inside res.

Is there a way to bulk convert svg files using Android Asset Studio?

I have a large number of svg files I want to convert to xml vector assets for Android.
The documented process is, for each file, File->New->Vector Asset. Then choose the svg file, click Next then Finish.
Is there a faster way? Maybe a bash comment to launch Asset Studio?

The Resource Manager tool that was added in Android Studio version 3.4 can bulk import SVGs and convert them into vector drawables.
Tools → Resource Manager
Select the Drawable tab
Click the + button in the top left corner
Select Import Drawables
There you can select all the files you want to import at once.
More details here.

There are few Git projects which would help you achieve the bulk conversion of svg files to Vector Drawable supported by android.
Juraj Novák's : http://inloop.github.io/svg2android/
SvgToVectorDrawableConverter original repo was deleted. But you could choose one of the fork . Example: svg2vd -i "\*" -o out --fix-fill-type
For single conversion: SVG to Vector Drawable Convertor online
Use wrapper of original converter ported from Android Studio
Hope it helps!

download this jar file and use it as in the bellow example
java -jar C:\Users\dan\Downloads\Svg2VectorAndroid-1.0.jar C:\Users\dan\Desktop\svgs_dir

Keep Svg2VectorAndroid.jar and the folder that having all the Svg file in same folder and then open cmd and go to that folder path where you put your jar and source folder and then execute the command
java -jar Svg2VectorAndroid.jar <source folder name>
and press enter. Now you can get your all xml file in source folder with folder name ProcessedSVG.
Hope it helps.

Just upload your svg file (you can select multiple files) and download all drawable files. Just copy to your Drawable project file and viola!

Android build errors (porting to ICS)

I am working on porting from gb to ics in android
I have changed path of a particular folder and kept it at a different path
after build I get many errors stating that the files doesn't exist because those files are present in that folder which I have copied in a different path
How can I link my build and code to pick up my new path because in my Java files I just write import com.android, and not the actual entire path of the file.
How and where to mention the entire path of the folder?

Right click your project. Select Build Path -> Configure build path -> Java build path
Here you can specify the path of changed library.

Where can I find Honeycomb back button in Android folder?

I would like to know where can I find the back button image, the one used by the android tablet emulator.

All the images which are used by the android platform are placed in the drawable folder under the res directory.
1.Open the android root directory(Installed directory).
2.Navigate to the res directory.E:\android-sdk-windows\platforms\android-12\data\res

You will find it in the android.jar file in your sdk folder.
For example mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-8\android.jar (for SDK version 8, to get a different version the change the "android-8" part of the path)
You can extract the .jar using winzip/7z etc as it is just a zip file in disguise. You will then find the drawables folder in the folders you unzipped.
