> Starting with Android 8 Oreo (API level 26) Android allows developers to create app icons using a background and a foreground image file. This feature is called "adaptive icons". One major change that goes with this feature is that icons get now clipped into a shape by the system. This leads to a very uniform and clean design like on iOS where all icons are a rounded rectangle. The other advantage is that visual effects can be applied to the icon by the system due to the separation between foreground an background.
> Android Studio greatly assists the developer at the creation of the app icon resources because it creates backwards compatible icons for older devices that don't support the adaptive icons feature.
> https://developer.android.com/studio/write/image-asset-studio.html
> The following resources are created.
> {code}
> res
> ├── drawable
> │   ├── ic_launcher_background.xml
> │   └── ic_launcher_foreground.xml
> ├── mipmap-anydpi-v26
> │   ├── ic_launcher.xml
> │   └── ic_launcher_round.xml
> ├── mipmap-hdpi
> │   ├── ic_launcher.png
> │   └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-mdpi
> │   ├── ic_launcher.png
> │   └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-xhdpi
> │   ├── ic_launcher.png
> │   └── ic_launcher_round.png
> ├── mipmap-xxhdpi
> │   ├── ic_launcher.png
> │   └── ic_launcher_round.png
> └── mipmap-xxxhdpi
>      ├── ic_launcher.png
>      └── ic_launcher_round.png
> {code}
> It is currently not clear how these files can be used inside a cordova project.
> - res/mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml points to other image resources (foreground, background)
> - The foreground and background can be vector graphics (-> xml files in res/drawable)
> - The documentation needs to be updated
> (I've never reported an issue using JIRA before - I'm only used to github. So, please guide me if I'm doing something incorrect)
