Application icon

[pkarpion]

I can't get my own svg into appliation icon. There is always general qt-icon. I've tried in pro-file ICON=my.svg

When I create a new project and select the same icon-file in the creation, it works ok. I tried to find, where it is defined there, but no success.

Hi,

In your application’s Qt project file (.pro) add the following

symbian:
{
ICON = my.svg
}
The .svg file needs to be kept in the same directory as the .pro file in the above case.

Make sure that the svg file created is in svg-t format.

I tried exactly that, but doesn't work. Same svg-file works with a new project where I choose icon when creating project.

Should work actually. Though could be that you are experiencing the caching effect Symbian devices are using for images. Meaning that you could maybe re-boot the device, then at least all image cache's would be cleared, and could indeed be that you get the new image visible then.

Some tips -

1. The problem could be related to qmake. If it doesn't detect the changes in .pro file and doesn't update the Makefile, it could be the reason for it. The solution for this would be to

Delete the file Makefile and rebuild the application.


2. After changing your application icon, you may need to restart the phone to clear the icon cache so the updated icon will be shown.

No help. Strange is that with the new project (icon ok) I see svg-file under deployment/other_files but nothing in pro file.

Hi,

one more important point -

Qt 4.7.3 seems to include a default svg icon in new projects (at least in Quick App projects).

After replacing this with your own svg file and adding the "ICON = xxx.svg" line to your .pro file, it seems to be necessary to manually delete the previously generated .mif file (located in the directory given in your app_template.pkg file) before rebuilding. Otherwise the .mif file will not be updated during the build (even if you clean all or rebuild all).

Thanks, deleting mif and rebooting was the solution.
