Android Question Different icon size with AddMenuItem3

[Silli]

I use AddMenuItem3 with png files and a image size of 64 pixels. Thats look really good on my devices, but on a "HTC One S" the icons are to big (see attachments) Only when I use a image size of 32 pixels agrees the size, but they are blurred. Has anyone a idea?

Tested with the StdActionBar Example: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/stdactionbar-another-actionbar-library.36786/

Activity.AddMenuItem3("MenuItem", "mi", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_action_edit.png"), True)

Nexus 4


HTC One S

According to the design guidelines the icon should be 32x32: http://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html

Seems like larger sizes are not handled in a consistent way.

Hi Erel, thanks for your answer.

But when i use icons with 32px, than the buttons are blurred!

The guidelines say 32x32 dp, and not px for the icons.
1dp = 1px on a 160dpi screen. The HTC One S has a 240dpi screen. Or not?

The bitmaps are resized automatically based on the device scale when you call LoadBitmap. Check the width and height of the loaded bitmap.

Can you upload the blurred icon?

Thats the icons of the Action Bar Icon Pack

But, i have an idea! I will test the bitmap load with LoadBitmapSample

Dim width As Int
Dim pscale As Float
pscale = GetDeviceLayoutValues.Scale
width = 32 * pscale

Activity.AddMenuItem3("MenuItem", "mi", LoadBitmapSample(File.DirAssets, "ic_action_edit_64.png", width, width), True)

Nothing has changed.

The left menu button is 64px with
Activity.AddMenuItem3("MenuItem", "mi", LoadBitmapSample(File.DirAssets, "ic_action_edit_64.png", width, width), True)

and the other is 32px with

Activity.AddMenuItem3("MenuItem", "mi", LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets, "ic_action_edit_32.png"), True)

You can use the standard Android resources folders to load the icon file.
Create the folders, make sure that the file is read-only and load the drawable with XmlLayoutBuilder.GetDrawable. It will return a BitmapDrawable. You can get the bitmap from it and add it to the menu.
