Android Image Resizer – New Open Source Android Developer Tool

What is Android Image Resizer?

Android Image Resizer is a tool to automate android project image files resizing for all screen density supported by your app.

For example a image in res/drawable/xhdpi with 200x200px as a base file will be resized to :

  • res/drawable/hdpi with 150×150 px
  • res/drawable/mdpi with 100×100 px
  • res/drawable/ldpi with 75×75 px

Install Instructions

gem install android_img_resizer

Note: For Mac OSX you need to install rimagick first. Please follow the instructions described in this page rimagick

How To use it

In a Android Project directory (PATH that has a AndroidManifest.xml) please type:

To list all drawable resource imagefiles

android_img_resizer list [xhdpi|hdpi]

To Resize a resource image File

android_img_resizer img <image_file> [xhdpi|hdpi]

To Resize all resource image files

android_img_resizer all [xhdpi|hdpi]

Note: by default Android Image resizer will use xhdpi as base image file.

To use hdpi as base image file please type hdpi in the optional argument

Resize a image example:

cd /home/john/WorkSpace/smssheduler
android_img_resizer img ic_home_log.png
OUTPUT:
Resizing Image = ic_home_log.png with size = 64×64
Image = ic_home_log.png hdpi = 48×48
Image = ic_home_log.png mdpi = 32×32
Image = ic_home_log.png ldpi = 24×24

Resize all images example:

cd /home/john/WorkSpace/smssheduler
android_img_resizer all xhdpi
OUTPUT:
Resizing Image = ic_micro_site.png with size = 64×64
Image = ic_micro_site.png hdpi = 48×48
Image = ic_micro_site.png mdpi = 32×32
Image = ic_micro_site.png ldpi = 24×24
Resizing Image = ic_micro_logo.png with size = 64×64
Image = ic_micro_logo.png hdpi = 48×48
Image = ic_micro_logo.png mdpi = 32×32
Image = ic_micro_logo.png ldpi = 24×24
