Error: Source Path does not exist for android icon png when building for ionic


Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.5.0
Ionic CLI Version: 2.2.1
Ionic App Lib Version: 2.2.0
OS: macOS Sierra
Node Version: v6.9.5
Xcode version: Xcode 8.2.1 Build version 8C1002



I am trying to use ionic platform add android to create an android project, but it always complains that resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi-icon.png does not exist. In fact it doesn't -- none of these resources exist. They can get created by ionic resources.


ionic platform add android


resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi-icon.png


ionic resources



However if I try to run ionic resources without the platform, I am told to add the platform first. This leads me to essentially do something like:


ionic resources


ionic platform add android
ionic resources
ionic platform rm android
ionic platform add android



Then it works properly. Is there anything I can do to make sure the resources get properly built or referenced before adding the platform?

For me, in config.xml, path had backward slash in tag, changed it from:


<icon src="resourcesandroidicondrawable-xhdpi-icon.png" />



to:


<icon src="resources/android/icon/drawable-xhdpi-icon.png" />



This actually had to do with my configuration. If you don't specify the platform in your configuration, platform add will create one for you. This automatically includes paths to resources that may not be there.


platform add



Update your config.xml to include the platform; even if it is empty:


<platform name="android"/>
<platform name="ios"/>



Then, platform add will not update the platform in the config and look for resources that may not be there. You still should do ionic resources to generate them after the fact, though.


platform add


ionic resources



In my case it was a config.xml path issue.


config.xml



Before I had this:


<icon density="hdpi" src="res/android/ic-hdpi.png" />



but in my folder structure I have an extra folder called icon, so I change all the .png path files to:


.png


<icon density="hdpi" src="res/icon/android/ic-hdpi.png" />



and it worked for me



may be while creating the ionic app resources not added properly simply you can do one thing install another app by using following command.


ionic start appname blank



then copy the android icons folder and paste into you current app folder this will work fine.the image missed in your project is 72*72 image.please check the resources once.





I want to use a custom icon that gets built from the resources, though

ok add that custom image name in the place of drawable-hdpi-icon.png in the config.xml file or else change the name of the custom image name to drawable-hdpi-icon.png

Check the name of the splash screen and app icon. I mistaken in the name of the files. In my case the error was due to the invalid file names. I just copied and pasted the assets i.e., AppName_splash.png and icon-512.png while it should have been "splash.png" and "icon.png".



For me, this issue was due to below line in config.xml:


'<preference name="orientation" value="portrait" />'



Actually when you try to add any platform using "ionic cordova platform add android/ios", it will add respective platform and generates respective resources("icon.png" and "splash.png"). With portrait orientation, it will add only relevant resources to that orientation(i.e. ionic cordova resources does not add the landscape images if the orientation is set to portrait) and fails with "UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Source path does not exist: resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi-icon.png" error.

Hence please check whether your config.xml have any preference for portrait/landscape mode.


Please remove any preference with portrait/landscape from your config.xml file before adding platform.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
