Android Question Using Adaptive Icons with Request Pin Shortcut

With reference to:

Adaptive Icons


And

Erel's Add Pinned Shortcut script


The Add Pinned Shortcut Script requires an Icon image as BitMap.

If you are using Adaptive Icons how do you access the correct icon image.

I assume it is something like:

B4X:
iconImage = LoadBitmap(...)

Any suggestions?

Erel means, "you can also keep your adaptive icon file in assets folder and use it". No problem there.

Thx Anand,

My concern is that the shape of my icon image on the home page may be different to the particular image shapes on the user's phone for instance:

I may choose an icon like this:

And the users phone may have icons like this:

As per I understand, the adaptive icon is for display on home screen of phone. The apps icon can be different from it, but must be consistent in all places like desktop, web, phone etc.

Check other apps in your phone, they follow this rule.

This is for creating an Add To Home button in the app.

It looks like there is a way to do this, but it is quite involved. Essentially you have to convert a drawable to a bitmap. I therefore decided to keep it simple. I used the largest image generated by Android Studio and it added it to my home screen.

So did not use adaptive icons on my home.
