The cordova hello world app uses https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/templates/project/res/drawable/ic_cdv_splashscreen.xml However, it looks like it's not really following the recommended sizing. Cordova uses the Icon with background setting, so the [android docs](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/splash-screen#dimensions) states: > App icon with an icon background: this must be 240×240 dp and fit within a circle 160 dp in diameter. Looks like our vector is a 512x512dp instead of 240x240. It still does the job appearently but I'd probably recommend trying to follow the Android suggested sizing here. To parse out what android expects, it expects 240x240dp canvas with your "icon" graphic fitting inside 160dp circle in the center. Everything outside of that circle is an unsafe area that might be masked away. It may be clipped when drawn, or during any android animations. Note that android expects an **A**ndroid **V**ector **D**rawable (AVD) which is different from an SVG. I believe a SVG may work but android doesn't implement a full SVG feature set and using something that android doesn't have implement will result in a crash. Android Studio does have a [tool](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio#about) to convert SVGs and and PSD files into AVDs. `dp` refers to display independent pixel. It's a size relative to Android's base density, which is `mdpi`. You can use these values as is if you're authoring a vector as vectors can be scaled appropriately on-the-fly. Alternatively you can author a PNG, but you'll have to scale them up to the max resolution you intend to support. For example, `xxxhdpi` is ~4x the density of the base `mdpi`, so you'll need to multiply all `dp` units by 4. Therefore a correct PNG canvas is 960x960 px with 640 px diameter circle. Personally I use rasterized PNGs in my projects with no problems but they are less efficient and not recommended by Android. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
