Custom app icons and splash screens not working in cordova-android v6

Hi David,

There is an issue with the icon I added to the Icon file path.

The is no problem with the icon.png itself but after compile, the icon displayed on my phone is different from what I used.

This is what the icon is on my phone.

What could caused the issue?

Hello edunt,

Apparently there is a bug in the latest version that causes the problem. The solution probably is to downgrade Apache Cordova into a previous version. Look also here for possible workarounds and and other solutions edunt.

My trick is after build project with cordova first time.I copy "res" folder in compile folder to "platforms\android\res" folder.
Then build with cordova again.It fix this bug.

Hello to tall,

Then maybe it's possible to use the "xcopy" command in the Extra BAT file option in the Cordova tabs of the app's options dialog in order to copy or move the icons... but anyway this bug was fixed in the next Apache Cordova release, or maybe we can downgrade to a 5.x version in order to avoid the problem.

Hi Tin & David,

Thanks for the info. I will use xcopy.

Hello to all,

Another possible solution is to "downgrade" Apache Cordova. We can open a console (as admin) and type this:

Once the uninstallation end we can then type this:

The 6.3.1 version of Apache Cordova doesn't have the introduced bug with the app's icons.

Notes:
This issue is solved in `cordova-android 6.1.0` but if you try `cordova platform update android` at this moment doesn't update to `6.1.0`.

Run...

Hello to all,

Notes:
This issue is solved in `cordova-android 6.1.0` but if you try `cordova platform update android` at this moment doesn't update to `6.1.0`.
Run
```bash
cordova platform update android@6.1.0 --save
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android
```
to solve this issue.

If you suggest to install Cordova 6.1.0 version, but, the icons bug is not in the 6.3.1 version... it's not better to install the 6.3.1 version? I just asking edunt... :)

Hi David,

You are right. I just added the command syntax for others, moreover, at the time of writing the command the version was 6.1.

Cheers.

Hello to all,

No problem! It's good to know how we can install some specific version of Apache Cordova edunt. :)

Hello to all,

Just to say that the currently available Apache Cordova 6.5.0 version finally solve the problem with the app's icon. Anyone who want to upgrade, just open a console (press WIN + R and then type "cmd" and then ENTER) and write something like this:

Good to know. Thanks David.
