Android icon generator for actionbar and notification not working (grey shape)

Mulgard picture Mulgard · Mar 2, 2015 · Viewed 29.6k times · Source

I found this Asset Studio to generate icons. It works fine for the launcher icon but for action bar or notification icons it is not working. I put in my png file and want to generate the icons, but Asset Studio is only generating gray circles. Is there another tool to generate action bar and notification icons?

You can use a tool for creating generic icons in Asset Studio: https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-generic.html. To get it look like ActionBar Icon, you should make next actions:

  1. Choose image
  2. The size of image should stay at 24dip
  3. Change padding to 4dip
  4. Move foreground color thumb to 0%
  5. That's it! Download .zip now.

The sizes of icons will be pretty the same as you can get them with ActionBar Icon Generator.
