Icon

public final class Icon
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.drawable.Icon

An umbrella container for several serializable graphics representations, including Bitmaps, compressed bitmap images (e.g. JPG or PNG), and drawable resources (including vectors). Much ink has been spilled on the best way to load images, and many clients may have different needs when it comes to threading and fetching. This class is therefore focused on encapsulation rather than behavior.

Summary

Nested classes

interface Icon.OnDrawableLoadedListener

Implement this interface to receive a callback when loadDrawableAsync is finished and your Drawable is ready.
