Android Icons

Posted 13 Feb 2025

Note that many of the XMLs will have a default tint, which will override and fillColor just remove the android:tint which will be at the top level <vector> (first line)

In all of my Android jobs, I’ve always been given the assets to use by our UX teams. The process is easy: download whatever assets I’m supposed to use, import them, and use them.

So, recently, for my own projects. I’ve just been using Google Font Icons. I follow my same old process of downloading whatever I need, then importing it.

Yet low and behold, my inadequacy is showing yet again: I can get the exact same icons within Android Studio.

In res / drawable, do New -> Vector Asset.

In the Asset Studio window, the Clip Art option gives you what I assume is the exact same damned list. You also get all the same modification options as you do on the site.

The more your know? The more I should know more like.
