Android Dialog Icons Description

Ready-made high resolution icons for Android apps in hdpi, mdpi and ldpi sizes

Design better-looking Android apps faster with Android Dialog Icons! The collection of 86 unique icons helps you enhance dialogs in your Android apps, making them look crisp and slick with pro-grade graphics. Drawn in strict accordance with Guidelines for Dialog Icons, the collection meets the requirements for apps designed for Android 2.3 and later.

Android Dialog Icons includes pre-rasterized icons in ldpi, mdpi, and hdpi resolutions, which correspond to pixel sizes of 48x48, 32x32, and 24x24. Optional vector sources are also available, allowing you to render highly detailed icons in literally any size and resolution.

PNG and PSD versions are supplied, the latter featuring an extra layer to control the depth of each icon. That extra layer is in addition to the alpha-channel that controls icons' translucency and allows them to render smoothly on any background. Scalable vector sources are delivered in SVG and AI formats.

Producing Standard Tab and Menu Icons for Android Apps

When developing Android apps or designing graphics for mobile apps, one must conform to srict guidelines. Re-using graphics designed for different operating systems, especially desktop-based, is generally not a good idea. Foreign icons will look out of place at best, or will render your Android apps hardly recognizable at worst.

There are precise guidelines available for designing standard-compliant Android icons. Different design guidelines are available for tab icons and menu images.

Tab icons are drawn in individual tabs in tabbed interface. Tab icons must be supplied in two different states: selected and unselected. It is recommended that tab icons are designed as simple, flat shapes as opposed to images shown in 3D or isometric projection.

Android OS and Android apps can run on a multitude of hardware platforms using a wide range of hardware. In connection to icon images, those devices can have different display sizes, display resolutions, pixel dimensions and density. To accommodate the wide range of displays, Android developers should provide all tab icons used in their apps in at least three resolutions to be drawn on low, medium, and high density screens. Resolution-wise, the outer boundaries for the three sizes are defined as 24x24, 32x32, and 48x48 pixels. The size of the shape itself should not exceed 22x22, 28x28, and 42x42 pixels respectively. By providing all three standard sizes, developers can ensure that their apps will be shown properly on a wide range of devices running the Android OS.

Menu icons are displayed in the "options" menu, and are shown to the user when they press the Menu button. Similar to tab icons, menu icons should be flat, grayscale images. Just as tab icons, developers cannot use 3D or isometric projections.

Pixel resolutions for menu icons are defined in a slightly more comprehensive way as opposed to to tab icons. Instead of two sizes described for tab graphics (inner shape and boundary box), the inner shape of menu icons can be smaller or larger depending on their shape. If a menu icon is square-shaped, its dimensions should be smaller than for icons shaped otherwise. The reason for having two different sizes is to establish a consistent visual weight across the two icon types.

The outer dimensions for low, medium, and high resolution icons are defined as 36x36, 48x48, and 72x72 pixels respectively. Inner shapes for square, low-definition icons should be 22x22 pixels, while non-square icons should fit into a boundary box sized 24x24 dots. Similarly, mdpi icons should fit 30x30 and 32x32 pixel boxes, while high-definition images should fit into 44x44 and 48x48 pixel boundaries respectively.
