Android Adaptive Icons

Android allows us to create adaptive icons (various shapes for one icon for different devices) for:
  • launcher icons
  • shortcuts
  • Setting app
  • sharing dialogs
  • overview screen
You have to provide the following layers 108x108 dp:
  • top mask (circle, squircle, rounded square, square) provided by device OEM (e.g. Samsung)
  • foreground layer 72x72 dp should be visible in the mask viewport
  • background layer

The edge 18 dp are reserved for system's special effects.

Use Android Studio 3.0 Asset Studio to create these adaptive icons.

“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
