fixing logo about flowcrypt-android HOT 7 CLOSED

needs more work - wrong logo resolution on login screen

@DenBond7 trying to learn about how to do some basics in Android

1. in fragment_splash.xml in the root tag, there is tools:showIn="@layout/activity_splash"

This causes me to have a hard time editing the layout, because the layout doesn't show as I edit it, splash shows instead. When I remove it, I can edit fragment_splash easily and it doesn't seem to have any effect when I build the app. What is it for?

2. all of the mipmap images start with ic_. Is there some meaning to it? Should I just name all images this way?

Use common naming conventions for icon assets

Got it, any naming conventions for non-icon images?

If it the background image I use bg_ prefix (bg_big_car.png etc.). For other images, you can use what you like name conventions.

It's Android tools. This is used by Android Studio layout editor. When we use tools:showIn="@layout/activity_splash" we mean that current layout will be displayed in activity_splash.xml (on the main screen). But in activity_splash.xml we have next lines:

<include
        android:id="@+id/signInView"
        layout="@layout/content_splash"
        android:visibility="gone" />

android:visibility="gone" mean that layout="@layout/content_splash" will not be visible.

That's why you can not see the content in the fragment_splash.xml. More precisely, not even so. You see the layout splash_after_auth.xml because that layout is visible in activity_splash.xml. This situation has happened through the logic that is described in SplashActivity.java.

This will take me some time to get used to. Thanks.
