The following source code should create an icon set for Android. Drag and drop the image that you want to use onto the window and a folder should appear on your desktop with the required icons. You will have to change the url for the desktop on your system.

PImage myimg;

String fileName = "";

void setup() {
  size(520, 520);
  surface.setTitle("Icon Maker Android");
  fill(0);
  textSize(30.0);
  textAlign(CENTER, CENTER);
  text("Drag and drop image here", 0, 100, width, 160);
  Canvas canvas = (Canvas) surface.getNative();
  canvas.setDropTarget(new DropTarget(canvas, DnDConstants.ACTION_COPY_OR_MOVE, new DropTargetListener() {

    @Override
      public void dragEnter(DropTargetDragEvent dtde) {
    }

    @Override

    @Override

              imgPath = file.getPath();
              fileName = file.getName();
              // Strip extension if there is one
              if (fileName.indexOf(".") > 0) {
                fileName = fileName.substring(0, fileName.lastIndexOf("."));
              }
  *// ****Change the next line for your system**** //*
              savePath = "/Users/xxxxx/Desktop/AndroidIcons" + "_" + fileName + "/";
              println("imgPath: " + imgPath);
              img = loadImage(imgPath);
              img.resize(0, 512);
              img.save(savePath + "myimg.png"); // used for display
              img.resize(0, 192);
              img.save(savePath + "icon-192.png");
              img.resize(0, 144);

        catch (Exception e) {

    }
