Description

@BretJohnson

Android application type

.NET Android (net7.0-android, net8.0-android, etc.)

Affected platform version

VS 2022 17.8

Description

In the past Android Item templates didn't show up in VS, for some reason. They are now visible now, which reveals some costmetic issues:

  • They shouldn't include the word "template", as none of the other templates do that. Should be "Android Activity", not "Android Activity template"
  • The icons should be updated, not using the default icon.

Compare to the MAUI item templates for instance:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. File > New Project > Android Application (or .NET MAUI)
  2. Right click on the project in solution explorer and do Add > Item
  3. Click on the different categories to see conventions followed
  4. Click on Android to see the Android templates, and note the "template" suffix in the name that shouldn't be there and the default icons

Did you find any workaround?
