Choose App Icon in Android Studio
App icons must be set explicitly in the AndroidManifest.xml using proper image assets located in mipmap/ folders.
- Prepare your icon (PNG or SVG, at least 512×512 px for Play Store):
-
Name it something like
ic_launcher.png
oric_launcher_foreground.xml
(for adaptive icons).
-
-
Use Android Studio’s Icon Generator:
-
Right-click
res
> New > Image Asset -
Select type: Launcher Icons (Adaptive and Legacy)
-
Upload your PNG or SVG
-
Click Next → Finish
-
-
Android Studio will create appropriate icons in these folders:
mipmap-mdpi/
mipmap-hdpi/
mipmap-xhdpi/
mipmap-xxhdpi/
mipmap-xxxhdpi/ -
Android will auto-select the right resolution for each device.
Open AndroidManifest.xml
Make sure your AndroidManifest.xml
includes:
<application
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:label="@string/app_name"
...>
