Android - Script to Copy drawables to your project

Hello Guys,

When ever designer gives you a set of drawables, we need to manually copy them to all the respective folders (mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi etc). But,  how about writing a script where you mention source folder and destination( project ) folder which does all the copying and replacing for you. This script is written for Mac.

Download the script from here.

Follow the below instructions after that

• Copy script.sh into any of the folder
• Open terminal – Add some permissions to make script.sh as executable
• Navigate to the folder where script.sh resides
• Type in  - sudo chmod 700 script.sh
• Prompts for Sys password – Enter it
• Your file is marked as executable
• Note:
• Do this step only on first time
• Reference
• In terminal navigate to the folder in which script.sh resides
• Type in - ./script.sh

o   Copies all resources in drawable foder of source to mipmap folder of destination.

o   Do not forget to change the source and destination path in script.sh.

Note:

• Open script.sh and set your source and destination folders properly.
• Currently script does not support spaces in folders.

Hope this saves some time for you.

Cheers,

Sree
