svg2png - SVG to Android-PNG converter

Created by yozoon (2016)

Android Studio does have a built in SVG import tool for the creation of drawables or mipmaps, but this tool didn't cope well with SVG files which contained gradients (almost all SVG files according to the Android Icon design Guidelines). To avoid the hassle of exporting the PNGs for each pixel density manually (and copying them in the right folder in my Android Project) I wrote this script, which does all of this automatically.

This script was only tested on Ubuntu 14.04

Prerequisites

Inkscape has to be installed and accessible via the command line
Android Studio Project directory structure (otherwise the scipt won't find the resource directories)

PNG sizes

NAME	SIZE (px)
MDPI	48 x 48
HDPI	72 x 72
XHDPI	96 x 96
XXHDPI	144 x 144
XXXHDPI	192 x 192

Usage

Options and Parameters

Option	Parameter	Description

-m	none	mipmap: use this parameter to export the PNGs to the mipmap folder of the project's resources
