Custom Action Block Icon in 12.2

[raj44]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to include an Icon for my custom action block. I have included the image in same folder as my class files. Is that right or do I need to include in other folder?

Also, while giving the path of that icon, I'm just providing the file name. Do I need to include the complete path?

For eg:

@Action(name = "ReadData", icon = "icon.png") or @Action(name = "ReadData", icon = "\Folder\Folder\Folder\Folder\icon.png")

Are there any restrictions for  Image types such as jpeg,jpg,fig,png etc regarding image sizes?

Thanks

Do we have any option to download the jar already deployed as a custom action? I am using MII 12.2 and I don't see any button for that- is there an alternate way?

Hi Rajeev,

Both of these ways of including images should work. You should ideally include PNG or GIF files as action icons.

Hi Anushri,

Tried with both- I just get a black square for the action block. Do I need a separate folder as "icons" which will contain the png image?

Hi Rajeev,

Have you tried with '/' instead of '\'?

Hi Anushree,

Yes, I tried with '/' by keeping the icon in "icons" folder and then zipping icons folder with the classes folder and catalog.xml file to generate a single jar, but still the image doesn't load. It just displays a black square as the icon.

Try clearing out the java cache on your machine.

Doesn't help- is it something to do with the size of image? The image dimensions are 41 pix by 44 pix and the size of the image is 7.25 KB..
