Hi

In the last release of LAMW, I can set  easily the application title
displayed on form, and this is fine.
However, I think ActionBarTitle could be abtTextAsTitle by default...

But I have not found how I name the application, this name being
displayed on the desktop and in the application manager.

And where can I set icons or png files for the application ?   
I tried to replace ic_launcher*.png but it does nothing, I have only
the standard Android icon.

Thanks for help.

Look at "Project > Project options...".  There's a tab where you can
change both.  Also you can do that at the main unit (the one with
extension ".lpr") modifying appropriate properties of object
Application.

Hi

My question was for Android projects managed by LAMW : "Project
options" has no effect on the icon name and image, and no lpr is used.

Your answer is about Lazarus projects for Windows or Linux, isn't it ?

Regards

 Yes, it is. I didn't know Android needs other ways.

Hi

To change the application name, the only way I found up to now, was to
recreate a new project and to specify the name at the very first step
in LAMW.

And to setup icons, I copied them manually in the
<project_dir>res\drawable_*dpi directory. 5 icons with various size
are required.

It works, but not so easy as common Windows and Linux projects...

Hello, tintinux!

Change the application name , you just edit the file in the project
path \res\values\strings.xml ,like this:

<string name="app_name">this is your app name</string>

if not English character , you need save as the strings.xml file to
UTF8 format.

Thanks and best regards!

Ok, thanks for the hint !

I hope that someone will be able to update automatically the tag value
in this file from the Application Title visible in Project Options ! 

A funny thing is that another tag "hello world" is added by LAMW when
the project is created. 

Code: XML  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i <string
name="hello_world">Hello world!</string>
It is not really useful, but if I remove it the APK can't be built.

Best regards
