Replace kivy icon with custom icon

[Dan Moormann]

I have an icon 512x512 named crash.png

I'm trying to replace the default kivy icon on my android device.  

I've modified buildozer.spec 

# (str) Icon of the application
#icon.filename = %(source.dir)s/data/icon.png
#icon.filename = %(source.dir)s/crash.png
icon.filename = %(source.dir)s/resources/crash.png

I tried each of the commented-out lines and each time I get

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/danm9/Crash/resources/crash.png'

I have a copy of crash.png in each directory (Crash, resources, data)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong???

Following the instructions!

That 's' in there is bogus, and the %(source.dir) redundant

icon.filename = resources/crash.png

Tried Robert's suggestion - same result 

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/danm9/Crash/resources/crash.png'

Buildoser.spec

icon.filename = resources/crash.png

Where is the file?

And https://github.com/Android-for-Python/Android-for-Python-Users#changing-buildozerspec   ?

[Dan Moormann]

buildozer.spec located in  \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\danm9\Crash

copies of crash.png located in  \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\danm9\Crash

also

\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\danm9\Crash\resources

\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\danm9\Crash]data

I just checked the location of crash.png and discovered that they were somehow named crash.png.png (possibly the problem).

I followed the info in the link Robert sent to buildozer appclean and the current build is taking forever like it did the first time (probably 3 hours, subsequent builds only took 5-7 minutes)

Got it to work.  The app shows on the screen with the new icon, but when I press it, it momentarily shows the regular kivy logo.  Is that normal?

Thank you, Robert.  Your advice was spot on.  I just wish the documentation was clearer.

P.S.  It only took 2 hours to build.

[Robert]

Your builds are very slow, so just checking because you say "\\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu" and nobody seems to use that style.
So I wonder if you are doing anything else unusual.

Your files are on the WSL partition (implied by above, but just checking they are really there) ?
Buildozer is run from the Ubuntu prompt?

no

Yes but the issue was whatever file manager renamed the file with an extra extension.
