    This is us on the market

    Although we provided a 48x48 and 72x72, looking at the apk it has the 72x72 in both the drawable and drawable-hdpi directories.

    Here is the 72x72

    Looks like it has been scaled down for some reason... I'm sure they'll fix this bug soon :D

    By the way, the game rocks :)

    If you assign two different textures to 48 and 72, and take look under Temp/StagingArea/res/ after building the .apk ; do you really see the same texture in both the drawable/ and drawable-hdpi/ dirs? Because I don't..

    I'm having the same problem right now: put all possible icons at right sizes but I keep seeing rescaled icons around :(

    I have Galaxy Tab.

    Screen shot?



    I grabbed ours on a Galaxy S the other day to see if I could work out what was happening.
    It picked the 72x72, but how it calculates that 86x86 surrounds is mystery to me

    Our directory layout has
    Assets\Plugins\Android\res\drawable-hdpi\app_icon.png 72x72
    Assets\Plugins\Android\res\drawable-ldpi\app_icon.png 36x36
    Assets\Plugins\Android\res\drawable-mdpi\app_icon.png 48x48

    Funny stuff is that some other icons look totally perfect... also Rocket Bunnies is ok... and also I suspect that the old icon of my game was ok but I can't be sure because it was a bit a mess visually but it looked ok.

    Here is screenshot:



    I am using a PNG file for the icons... should I use PSD?

    Zoomed up in gimp, they look fine, they don't look obviously scaled...

    [EDIT] On a second look, it does look scaled doesn't it, that circle isn't right. Surely that's not the 48x48 scaled up though, it looks better than that

    Found the problem: import settings.
    It's a png24 so it's ok but import settings were on COMPRESSED texture.
    Changed to true color and now icon is ok :)
