AdaptiveIconPlayground

An Android application for experimenting with adaptive icons.

This app finds all installed apps sporting an adaptive icon and displays them in a grid. It then allows you to toggle different mask shapes (approximating how the icon might display on different devices) and explore visual effects may be applied. Currently offered:

• Layer translation parallax based on scroll
• Layer scale parallax based on touch

A settings sheet allows customization of these effects. Please note that these effects are purely illustrative and do not reflect any future feature plans. They are fun though 😁.

This app only runs on API26+ devices.

adaptiveiconplayground's Issues

Publish on Play?

Do people want this or is the APK in releases enough?

Please thumbs up emoji react if you want this so I can gauge interest. Thanks!

Publish in the Google play store and check "App shortcuts"

I really hope upload it on Play Store (There is no such valid APP on the Play Store).

If you can, I hope it checks the Adaptive Icon of the "App shortcuts"

Very very much;-)

Question: how to mask other shapes, such as the "tear" , and how to remove background ?

Like this:

About removing background, I mean that it won't just avoid showing it, but also prepare the icon in the correct size.

Is it possible to change Icon everyday with Adaptive Icon?

I have seen Google Calendar is Changing it's date everyday within the icon. Is this can be done using Adaptive Icon's or is there is something else to it. I am pretty sure they haven't bundled 31 icons as this would be resource consuming.

PS: I ❤️ your plaid app though

Foreground and Background parallax

in the vertical positioning, when adjusting the parallax values for both foreground and background the this value is not applied to icons that are just above the edge of the recycler view;

set positioning of icons to vertical mode;
set parallax values to max;
scroll to end of list;
set parallax values to zero;
start scrolling to the start of the icons list;

the first and some times the second row of icons that are immediately above the visible items, still has the old values for the parallax;

Possible to avoid using Adaptive icons?

I don't like them at all. Makes the icon itself smaller, and uses useless space for background, covering more space of the wallpaper. Not only that, but it gives the same feeling I had when looking on Chinese devices, which forced all icons to have same shape, no matter what's the result. Even with Google's own apps, I see it doesn't look well at all. YouTube app, for example, now has the shaped background (rectangle/circle/etc...) and a red rectangle in it, of the icon itself. It doesn't make sense...

Is it possible, as either a developer or a user, to avoid them ?
Is it possible to give the user the option to avoid them?

Load image files

Add ability to select 2 * image files and add to grid.

"There was a problem parsing the package"

Hey,
I'm trying to install your APK on my Galaxy S8, but I get a popup that says there was a problem parsing the package. What can I do in order to solve this?

IllegalStateException: icon.foreground must not be null

AdaptiveIconPlayground crashes if com.epicgames.fortnite 6.30.0-4560568-Android is installed

Real icons are not loaded on Huawei P20 Pro

I can only see 2 types of default "Droid" icons, instead of the real icons of the apps installed on my phone.

Huawei P20 Pro running Android 8.1.

Ability to extract / save PNG for any adaptive icon to disk

An ability to save an image of the current shape for a given app you'd long press in hi res would be killer.
