Creating a Android Icon Pack

I've just finished creating a bunch of icons in Adobe Illustrator for my Android phone. My problem is now, how can I make an icon pack like those you can download from the Play Store? You might think that there must a lot tutorials for this purpose, but I don't seem to find them useful, and it confuses me more than it benefits.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Firstly, whichever icon you go with you will need different resolutions of it such as ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, etc.. and that can be done in two ways,

  1. Manually by making each image the correct size
  2. Using a asset generator like Android Asset Studio https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/index.html

In terms of creating the actual icon, you dont need any specific "Android Icon Tutorial". You can use any generic logo or icon tutorial and just create it in the correct size. Read this link for icon sizes: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html Then you can simply watch and "logo" or "icon" tutorial and follow along. Then I would use Android Asset Studio to create all DPI's And this one for other icons: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html
