Android studio generating asset files

Question

Ih Guys!

I have made some assets for notifications and adaptive launcher icons using the new Image Asset option in android studio.

I have noticed there is an option for "Action bar and Tab Icons"... Could someone please explain where these icons are used in the code and where they will be displayed in the app.

Thanks a lot:)

Answer 1

Action bar is the place where your toolbar is present

In the above picture Page Title is the action bar. And the heart and search icons are action bar icons. Android generates assets for this from Action bar and Tab Icons of required size.

Read more about Creating app icons with Image Asset Studio it covers everything about Action bar and tab icons and other icons as well!

Answer 2

The Action Bar is the thing at the top of your app (usually with a title). You can also add a menu to the Action Bar, this is where icons are used.
