Generate Android drawables from SVGs

README.md

Generate Android drawables from SVGs

BASH script to generate and update Android drawable/mipmap resources from SVG sources.

Requires either Inkscape or Image Magick for conversion.

Sample:

$ ./update.sh res/drawable < list-of-svg-files

The first argument is the relative output path without resolution qualifier.

Input is read from stdin in the following format:

FILE [SIZE] [NEGATE]

Where SIZE is the size in pixels on mdpi displays. Default is 24px. And NEGATE is a binary value, either 0 or 1, to post invert images for dark themes.

update.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Try to find Inkscape or ImageMagick's convert
find_converter()
{
	if [ -z "$INKSCAPE" ]
	then
		INKSCAPE=`which inkscape` ||
			INKSCAPE='/Applications/Inkscape.app/Contents/Resources/bin/inkscape'
	fi

	if [ -x "$INKSCAPE" ]
	then
		converter()
		{
			"$INKSCAPE" \
				"$PWD/$1" \
				-e "$PWD/$2" \
				-w $3 \
				-h $3
		}
	elif which convert &>/dev/null
	then
		converter()
		{
			convert \
				-background none \
				"$1" \
				-thumbnail $3 \
				-strip \
				"$2"
		}
	else
		return 1
	fi
}

	local DPI MULTIPLIER
	local DIR PNG

	while read SVG SIZE NEGATE

PATH - output path without resolution qualifier, e.g. "res/drawable"

Reads a list of SVG files from STDIN and converts them in multiple
resolutions to PNG.

Row format:
FILENAME [SIZE] [NEGATE]

Where SIZE is the size in pixels on mdpi displays. Default is 24px.
And NEGATE is a binary value, either 0 or 1, to post invert images
for dark themes.
