Updated icon sizes for Android?

Hi,
What are the current icon size requirements for Andriod Apps? I'm aware of the following link link, Adobe AIR * Application icons, however when compared to the current Icon style guide provided by Google, the data seems a bit out of date. The Google links is: Iconography | Android Developers
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

What is probably happening is that your icon cache is corrupt. Searching online, I found many different ways to resolve this issue and none of them "official" from Microsoft, so I am hesitant to recommend any one way to rebuild your icon cache. However, all I did to resolve this was delete C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\IconCache.db and restart my system. The IconCache.db was rebuilt and the correct icon shows for larger sizes rather than the default. It seems that the first icon you view at the medium/large size gets stuck in the IconCache. For instance, I changed my icon before viewing it at a larger size (never saw the CVI icon) and the icon I used was the one stuck for the medium/large size.I don't think it will be an issue on a target system because you will not be changing the icon one you distribute the application.
It is not clear to me if this is an issue with a Windows bug (I did see similar reports on various forums, but nothing official), with our icon editor, or with the way CVI attaches icons to executables. I have filed bug report 354481 to investigate this issue.

Extend supported icon sizes for AIR Desktop Apps

Currently AIR Desktop Apps seem to only support a limited set of icon sizes (16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 128x128px).
It would be great to see bigger icon sizes (like 256x256 and 512x512px) being supported as well. For example, Windows7 does not display 128x128px icon size so the maximum icon size for AIR apps on Windows is currently 48x48px (which actually is pretty small and results in pixelated icons).
Can you please consider the option of extending supported icon sizes?

Feature request for this issue: Bug#3844899 - Adobe AIR does not support 256x256 desktop icons on Windows Vista, 7 or 8.x

What is the default icon size for macbook pro 13 inch?

I have the 13 inch macbook pro, its not the retina. What is the default icon size for it? I accidently changed it on the show view options.

The default size is not related to the Mac Model, it's related to the OS X version. For Snow Leopard it's 48x48 pixels.
For Lion and Mountain Lion it's 64x64.
You can choose the size that is right for you. I typically use either 32x32 or 36x36. Some prefer larger some prefer smaller. It's up to you.
I've always found the default sizes to be too big for my taste.

Icon sizes for Windows 7

My application is running in Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I'm using LabWindows/CVI 10.0.1. I created an icon file in the included icon editor. I kept the default 32x32 and 16x16 sizes and added 48x48 and 256x256 versions, all with 32-bit color. I set the Target Settings to use this new icon.
When I look at the folder containing my application's executable in Windows Explorer and go through the various methods of viewing the folder, not all of the sizes show my icon. The 16x16 image is used for the List and Details views, and as I increase the icon size the 32x32 and 48x48 versions seem to kick in. Then when the icon size gets to medium, I see the default LabWindows/CVI icon (the one that looks like a window with the "cvi" symbol in it). As I make the icons even larger, eventually the 256x256 version of my custom icon takes over.
MSDN seems to say that those three sizes are all the sizes required for Windows 7. How can I override the default "cvi" application icon for all sizes? Is it necessary to use a different icon editor to create some different size of icon image?
Thanks,
Brian

Skinning and Image size for android devices

I am building a mobile application for both Android and iOS devices. I am using images in 3 different resolutions sets.
The images have been made in such a way that the complete all screens were first designed for 640x960 resolution with 320 dpi. Then I created 3 different sets of images where the images were reduced to 75% and 50% of the 640x960 image size. The images I have now work fine for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and 4S devices. But the 75% one's don't work correctly. This is because the size of say background of view at 75% would be 720 pixels while the size of the Android device's screen is 854px or 800px.
How can I address this issue?

Any help on this?

Icon size for audio file insert on a PDF page.

Acrobate X V10.1.9 Windows 7.
I wish to insert an audio file on a pdf page. I select "multimedia", "sound". Get the window to select the file. Once selected I then find that I cannot size the icon that appears on the page (click to play). The two fields are grayed out. If I click "OK" it results in a very large "click to play" icon. I cannot resize the icon on the page..
Does this function require C++? Have been getting an error message on PC startup about something being in error. I click OK and all seems to be working ok.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

You can crop it, but the size will not change to letter. However, after cropping, you can print with expand to fit page selected. If you like you can expand this to a new PDF using print, though not generally the recommended approach. Do you have any idea how it was reduced in the first place? If so, have you tried the reverse process?

Latest update of Reader for android is a disaster

I'd like to ask the official support to send me a URL of the previous version, otherwise I'll have to uninstall it completely.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
At least if it doesn't fix it, it'll eliminate a few questions.
Besides, once you really, really need it... you can't install it!

How can I use a file in flash cs6 that I made in flash cs5.5 air for android

I have made an app in in air for android in flash cs5.5 air for android, and I want to edit it in cs6 and play it in cs6.
But if I put Ctrl+Enter I got an error: createWin process failed with error 2: system couldn't find the file. I think the problem is that I'am using air for android 2.6 version in flash cs5.5 and version 3.2 in flash cs6. I have searched the web and found out that you can add older air versions using the sdk manager and I have tried it but first I get the error that the version of the sdk I am trying to install is not valid and after some files that I added to the sdk folder I get this error:Only SDK higher than version 3.4.2540 may be added.
I there a possible way to update the air for android for an fla or apk? Or how can I let my originally file work fine in flash cs6??

system couldn't find the file
If you can´t get a more specific hint why your project can´t compile then I can think of some reasons theis error might occur
1.You had files included besides the swf, like videos, audio files, xml files, that are not present in the place air expects them to be
2.somewhere in your createWin functions there is a class import needed that isn`t present in 3.2 anymore, for example some classes or functions from classes that were valid in 2.6 are not any more in 3.2
3. to achieve better eror logging, allow for debugging in the publishing options and see what specific lines in your code throw the error
4.any air app needs a cert file, this needs to be created once, if you migrated to e new system it might be you never created that file which air expects to even begin the compiling process
once you isolate the problem, report back

Icon size in Finder window

This has gotta be an FAQ, but I can't find it. How does one change the size of icons that appear both in the Sidebar of Finder windows, and in the main part of Finder windows? I found how to change icon size for Desktop icons, but I want to change the size of icons within Finder windows.
Thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
thanks for the star too!
I'm afraid I don't understand what didn't work... Mmmm...
What I tested on my own computer (I also run 10.4.8) was that
1/ I opened my home folder
2/ my files are in "Icon view"
3/ I went to the pull down menu at the top of the computer and chose View
4/ I selected Show View Options (or Apple + J)
5/ A window opened that allowed me to change the size of the icons in that window and also gave the possibility to change the size in all windows.
I'm sorry if I was not clear before.
Francine gave you the best option anyway. Thanks again!

Xfce application menu plugin icon size

I'm trying to figure out how to make the application menu icon size larger than the window button icon sizes with the Greybird theme, just like it is for Greybird Classic in the picture.
I have tried the "panel-applications-menu" string in both my .gtkrc-2.0 file and in xsettings but it is either not being respected or I'm not using it correctly. What specifically controls the icon size for the applications menu icon size?

Adjusting and "Synchronizing" Icon Size

The standard icon size for files on the desktop and in windows is 48x48. However, some of the folders that I copied over from my old computer has a smaller size of icons (I think 36x36). Is it possible to set the size of every icon in every window on my computer at the same time (like synchronizing the icon size across the whole computer)? Or do I have to adjust the icon sizes in each window individually?

If you select a Finder window and then show the view options (cmd-j) there's a radio button at the top of that dialog that lets you apply changes to all windows.

Automatically set finder icon size

Hi,
there is a apple script or something that can automaticcaly change icon size for folders and documents in finder? My target is to show the max number of icon inside the finder window...
thanks

ok, thanks, but is not what i want.
Think if in osx is built in a function that for the number of icons inside the folder show in finder , automatically resize icons (with a min and a max size presetted) relative to the number of icons in that folder.
Sometime i have one icon and the size is too small... sometime i have to many icons and the size is too large and i must scroll everytime.. is not very userfriendly...
another question... is possible in launchpad have a spotlight textfield that allow me to write the name of the app i want to find?? sometime i have app inside folder or in another page and is not simple find immediatly the app iwant...
thanks

Tab Saving Issue on FF for Android

Greetings,
This is my first time posting here, so I apologize if my posting format is incorrect in any way.
My issue is that ever since the update to FF for Android around the first of the year, my open tabs are no longer being saved. The only way to avoid that occurrence seems to be to switch between apps using task manager - however, if you have to return to the home screen for any reason, the tabs are wiped out when you return to Firefox.
(Just to let you know, I don't use Sync because it screws with my Xmarks account.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there,
Welcome to the forums. :) When you return to the home screen, do you see your previous tabs under History, or is it all completely forgotten at that point? Android has a tendency to save memory by removing apps that haven't been used for a while, and sometimes that means Firefox is essentially reset with no tabs open. Normally it should be possible to bring them back from the History menu though.
Cheers,
David
