Android Question Application icon on B4XMainPage

Sergey_New · Nov 2, 2023

How to install it like it was in B4A?
Only B4XMainPage needs this.

Sabotto · Nov 2, 2023

In "Main" Module

B4X:

#Region Project Attributes
   
    #PackagerProperty: IconFile = ..\Files\icona200.ico
   
#End Region

Thank you!
But I don’t understand how to specify the path to the icona200.ico file.

Sabotto · Nov 2, 2023

The way I have indicated serves to set the icon you will have for the .exe file
You will indicate the path with a relative link t the folder.
Assuming you have the icon in your project's "MyFiles" folder, you'll write "..\MyFiles\icon_name.ico"

#PackagerProperty: IconFile = ..\Files\icona200.ico

This is B4J not B4A.

In B4A and B4XPages nothing has changed.

.exe file

Can not understand anything. What other .exe file?

Sorry. I don't know why, but I thought you were talking about B4J. See Klaus' answer

I select the file:

An "Access Denied" message appears. The file at the selected address is deleted.

Sabotto · Nov 2, 2023

I tried with your path and the same icon and it gives problems. Choose another path and icon (use the Files folder)

Does not help.

Where is your image file located ?
It can be anywhere on your disk, and select it with the File Explorer.

No matter where I place the file,

there is no result.

this will not always choose the icon file. if you will in the future update the app and compile you may end with the default b4a icon and not your choosen icon.

the right way to do it is like this:

Adaptive Icons - simple instructions and tips

All apps should have an adaptive icon. If you are not familiar with these icons then start here: Adaptive Icons Instruction steps: Create a new folder in the root project folder named icon. Create two folders inside that folder with the following files: mipmap: ic_launcher.png -...

For me it still works, but i have no projects on PlayStore.

in the past i always used this method but in the last 1-2 years i noticed that when i compile old project the choosen icon is not the app icon. if you dont forget to choose the icon before you compile it to the store you will not have any issues but for me it was not the case. using adaptive icons works for me.

I did as indicated in the link. There is no result. I am attaching the project, please look at what is wrong in it.

klaus · Nov 2, 2023

I have no result either.
I have never used adaptive icons.
I do not know what happens.

Then I opened the ManifestEditor and erased everything in it and closed and saved it.
When launching the program the next time a new default Manifest file is created.
Then i added a new icon in the IDE, compiled, and it works as expected.

Maybe ilan knows what happens.

ilan · Nov 2, 2023

everything works as expected.
the problem is that your forground image in mipmap-xxxhdpi is blank and that is what you see in the phone
change it and you will see that it works fine

(updated project included)

Looked at the attached example. You probably didn’t understand me, it created an adaptive application icon, and I need the icon to be displayed on the B4XMainPage page:

Go to Manifest Editor and edit as following:

B4X:

'CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light")
