Resources for all platforms about angular-native-seed

Place the image (and shared assets) in src/assets. Part of the symlink script copies this into nativescript/src/assets so that the {N} app has access to the same contents.

I'm pretty sure that res:// references from the specific platforms App_Resources folder. Android is a bit of a pain, because of all the sub folders & I'm not actually sure which folder represents which device type.

You have a few options to handle this.

1. Adjust the symlink.js script to link ./src/assets/images to ./nativescript/App_Resources/iOS as well as all the miscellaneous Android folders (unless theres a main folder that applies to all of them).
2. Add a new script inside nativescript/gulpfile.js that copies images out of nativescript/src/assets and places them into the correct App_Resources folder as mentioned above.

That script may look like:

gulp.task('project.Images', () => {
    return gulp.src([`${SRC}assets/*.png`, `${SRC}assets/*.jpg`, `${SRC}assets/*.gif`], { follow: true })
        .pipe(gulp.dest('App_Resources/iOS'))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('App_Resources/Android'));
});

then as part of this:

gulp.task(
    'build.Default',
    gulp.series(
        'clean.Dist',
        'resources.App_Resources',
        'resources.Assets',
        'project.Typescript',
        'project.Styles',
        'tns.Templates',
        'tns.Styles',
        'tns.Typescript'
    )
);

add project.Images to the series function after project.Styles.

if you don't want to create multiple drawables you can create a new folder in the App_Resources/android name it drawable then drop your file there

[jdnichollsc]

Yes, but how can you access to these resources using the icon property? For example icon="res://menu"? I'm testing with ActionItems

[jdnichollsc]

@sean-perkins yeah, you'right. With Android is more difficult because each drawable folder represents the Display pixel density (ldpi/mdpi/hdpi/xhdpi/nodpi/tvdpi). I think manually is the best option for now 👍
Thanks for all my friend!

[jdnichollsc]

@triniwiz you're right my friend, that folder is for the default resources 🍻
