Overriding resources

Hi,

I want to override resources. Today nothing works out of the box. I just want to upload a larger launcher icon for some devices.

I state the drawables.xml in the resources directory. The different sizes of laucher_icon I put in different resources directories:

resources-40x40

resources-40x33

My jungle file looks like this:

base.resourcePath = $(semiround.resourcePath)
semiround.resourcePath = resources;resources-deu;resources-eng;resources-spa

marqathlete.rosourcePath = $(semiround.resourcePath);resources-40x40

But the launcher icon is not found for the marq :-(

for something like this you don't need jungles. Here's what I have in a watch face with different custom fonts for different devices for example. Just basic resource overrides.

Jim, currently I only have problems with IQ development. I can't get that running. The drawables.xml file points to (as usual) to launcher_icon.png and the file itself I put in the resources-round-240x240 folder. This shall be my default 40x40 pixel launcher icon and I will overwrite it for vivoactive, since these devices are mostly capable 32x40 pixels. But as soon as I move launcher_icon.png from resources directory to resources-round-240x240 I get a compile error:

Do you have any further hints for me?

Hi topcaser,

Maybe I can take a shot at it? The file path that you point to in drawables.xml is a relative path. Did you update your path to point to the file within resources-round-240x240?

If your resources / drawables / drawable.xml points to your default launcher icon path and you want to override that launcher icon for the vivoactive, then you will need another drawable.xml file in resources-rectangle-205x148 with the same resource id that points to a different relative launcher icon path.

Marianne, this did the trick. Thank you so much.
