How can we add an Icon for Home Screen in HTML5 when we browse a webpage in chrome app and in option we choose Add To Home Screen. then theres an Icon Shortcut placed on your Home Screen.
I used:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="...\icon.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="...\icon.png">
nothing happens it display again a default icon.! Just Like the AmStalker Home Screen Icon
What is the best way to do it?
First of all I want to show project structure in image below .
I have made a public folder and all the file is inside the folder .
And the manifest file is out of public folder .this is image
After That we will create Manifest file code of file is given below.
Manifest.json
{
"short_name": "BetaPage",
"name": "BetaPage",
"theme_color": "#4A90E2",
"background_color": "#F7F8F9",
"display": "standalone",
"icons": [
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-36x36.png",
"sizes": "36x36",
"type": "image/png",
"density": "0.75"
},
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-48x48.png",
"type": "image/png",
"sizes": "48x48"
},
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-72x72.png",
"sizes": "72x72",
"type": "image/png",
"density": "1.5"
},
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-96x96.png",
"sizes": "96x96",
"type": "image/png",
"density": "2.0"
},
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-144x144.png",
"sizes": "144x144",
"type": "image/png",
"density": "3.0"
},
{
"src": "assets/layouts/layout2/img/icon/android-icon-192x192.png",
"sizes": "192x192",
"type": "image/png",
"density": "4.0"
}
],
"start_url": "/index.html"
}
// After that we will add service worker
service-worker.js
self.addEventListener("fetch", function(event){
});
// Now go to index.html and put the following code in head section
<link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffffff">
<meta name="msapplication-TileImage" content="/ms-icon-144x144.png">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">
// After that you need to put following code before body closing
<script type="text/javascript">
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
console.log("Will the service worker register?");
navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js')
.then(function(reg){
console.log("Yes, it did.");
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log("No it didn't. This happened:", err)
});
}
</script>
Now Run your project and wait for few minute and reload your page and ENJOY !
In your href you have an extra dot i think, and it should be a forward slash not a backslash. try "../icon.png"
Also Android using apple icon references have been depreciated so these would not work - FOR ANDROID. Please look at https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/installtohomescreen for more information.
The cited source recommends you do this:
<link rel="icon" sizes="192x192" href="../icon.png">
Of course with this method I advise that your image is 192x192 in size.
The modern way is to make it a Progressive Web App
and the browser will offer this on its behalf.
