ArtboardCreation
create_android_artboards.js
Android related script to create set of artboards in the "bucket" size (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi and xxxhdpi). Script will ask first for the name for the set e.g. ic_launcher, you may not use any of the bucket prefixes (mdpi_, hdpi_, xhdpi_, xxhdpi_ and xxxhdpi_)
Then it asks for the pixel size at the base (mdpi) level in form of comma separated numbers for width and height e.g. 48x48
If everything is OK you will see a set of new artboards created, placed below lowest existing artboard named as [bucket]_[name] e.g. mdpi_ic_launcher
Note Document must be saved prior to running this script
export_artboards_for_android
Android related script to export artboards as PNG's. This script is to be used with conjunction with the create_android_artboards.js as it uses the name convention applied by that script to create proper folder and name of the output file. e.g. the artboard named mdpi_ic_launcher will be exported to the drawable-mdpi folder as ic_launcher.png file.
