Phonegap Android app icon refuses to update

Question

I've tried:

• changing the file at myapp/platforms/android/res/drawable/icon.png
• editing the tag in www/config.xml
• minor sacrifices

thanks!

Answer 1

although you accepted a different answer, that did not help me so for some of you reading this please note the following:

1. the accepted answer will work most probably only if u build ur app locally
2. u do not need to overwrite the default platform icons ... phonegap lets you overwrite everything from the config.xmlfile

3. you need to use something like this in you config.xml:

   <icon src="icon.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="ldpi" src="img/icons/android/icon-36-ldpi.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="mdpi" src="img/icons/android/icon-48-mdpi.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="hdpi" src="img/icons/android/icon-72-hdpi.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="android" gap:qualifier="xhdpi" src="img/icons/android/icon-96-xhdpi.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="ios" height="57" src="img/icons/ios/icon-57.png" width="57" />
   <icon gap:platform="ios" height="72" src="img/icons/ios/icon-72.png" width="72" />
   <icon gap:platform="ios" height="114" src="img/icons/ios/icon-57-2x.png" width="114" />
   <icon gap:platform="ios" height="144" src="img/icons/ios/icon-72-2x.png" width="144" />
   <icon gap:platform="winphone" src="img/icons/windows-phone/icon-48.png" />
   <icon gap:platform="winphone" gap:role="background" src="img/icons/windows-phone/icon-173-tile.png" />
   

4. please note that the path is img/bla-bla-bla ... it can be whatever you want ... BUT ... that path it is relative to you www folder ... so it will actually map to www/img/bla-bla-bla

hope this helps someone ... i found it the hard way :)

Answer 2

If you have correctly updated your icon files in platforms/ios/YourAppName/Resources/icons and you still can't see the change then make sure you:

1. Completely remove the app from your device
2. In Xcode go to Product > Clean and then re run your app.

Answer 3

You need to replace all icon files in res folder. Once you done, just clean your eclipse project and run.
