An adobe illustrator script to export layers into android resources
/**
* Adobe Illustrator Script that exports each layer into PNG files according to its layer name,
* as well as making copies for various screen sizes.
*
* (1)The illustrator document should has dimensions in xxhdpi.
* One xxhdpi screen is nexus5 (480dpi) with dimensions 1920x1080px
* Launcher icon at baseline 48x48dp is 48x48px for mdpi
* so the lanucher_icon layer should be at 144x144px inside the illustrator document to be exported.
*
* (2)Modify the destination android project in line33
*
* (3)you can exclude a layer from being exported by prefixing the name with "-"
*
* (4)Run this from illustrator -> File-> Scripts-> Other scripts (Ctrl +F12)
