In Android application if we want to display an icon on it we need to provide different sized image of the same icon. Generating those resized icons using Photoshop, Gimp or similar tools are time consuming and when we need to change the size of the icon we need to redo the same process again. There are online tools available but that also require uploading of the icon and downloading the archive and extracting and copying to the project folder.

The Android Icons Generator is a handy tool for developers to create resized icons for Android applications. The CLI can accept parameters like size (in dp), color (# code) and the name in which the icon file should generate and it will generate the icons in android specific drawable directories. The only thing that left for the developer is to copy these folders into the project directory.

This script uses ImageMagick​ ®​ , so before using this script we need to install ImageMagick​ ® in the system.

This project is intent to help developer to reduce the code in their project and make development easy. So I added basic functional requirements that are generally needed in many application in to this application. These functional requirements are in following areas

• Runtime Permissions on devices with Android versions above Lollipop.
• Database schema generation and updation.
• Getting updates on connectivity status
• Developing location aware applications.

This library encapsulates all these functionalities and developers can add this into their project using gradle.
