How to use a custom icon for the Flex AIR app

airapache-flex

I'm trying to change the default icon of my Flex 4.5 AIR app for the desktop.

I tried modifying the Main-app.xml Adobe AIR Application Descriptor File Template file:

<icon>
    <image16x16>src/assets/app_icons/icon_016.png</image16x16>
    <image32x32>src/assets/app_icons/icon_032.png</image32x32>
    <image48x48>src/assets/app_icons/icon_048.png</image48x48>
    <image128x128>src/assets/app_icons/icon_128.png</image128x128>
</icon>

However, this does not seem to work, and I'm still seeing the default AIR icon when I run the app. I wonder if I got the relative path of the icons wrong?

Note: I tried assets/app_icons/ path as well, and that doesn't work either.

I finally found the solution to this problem "303 app.xml icon file is missing in package"

  1. create the assets folder inside src instead of application folder

  2. try to put all versions of the icon sizes

    <!-- The icon the system uses for the application. For at least one resolution, 
specify the path to a PNG file included in the AIR package. Optional. --><icon>
<image16x16>assets/icon16.png</image16x16>
<image32x32>assets/icon32.png</image32x32>
<image48x48>assets/icon48.png</image48x48>
<image72x72>assets/icon72.png</image72x72>
<image128x128>assets/icon128.png</image128x128></icon>

Hope it helps
