Creating Other Icons with the Asset Studio

In principle, you can use the Asset Studio to create other types of icons, by choosing another type of icon from the drop down, such as “Action Bar and Tab Icons”.

In practice, the Asset Studio does not do much for you here, other than create multiple versions of your icon for different screen densities.

For most Android app developers, there are two other options:

  1. Get icons at the right resolutions for different densities from your graphic designer, perhaps exported from Adobe Photoshop
  2. Create vector icons, as will be covered in an upcoming chapter
