What "Icon Type" should I choose for normal images to be used in an Android app? How should I add these as ImageViews?
I want the images to be as they are, without any changes. I'm trying to add some images provided by Android Studio by default (Asset Type: Clip Art).
The images will be used as ImageViews in the app's main screen and nowhere else. It won't be used for any notifications, as the app's (launcher) icon or as Action Bar/Tab icons. What "Icon Type" should I choose for normal images to be used in an Android smartphone (not an Android TV) app's activity?
Is this the best way to create images for an app? Also, when I'm adding these images as ImageViews, should I choose the one from the Drawable or Mip Map tab?
Drawable:
Mip Map:
I guess this answer says it's Drawable as Mip Map is only for launcher icons. But, which one do I choose if it's the Drawable tab that I have to choose from? What if I want the image with both its background and foreground? I actually wouldn't care choosing the wrong option if the image looks as is.
TO get images from clip art to be used in your app go to drawable>vector asset> select your clickart> click on finish.
The better way however is to go online and download .svg files for icons and then select local svg option in your vector asset creator to use it in your app.
