Android change app icon [duplicate]

Question

I can't really figure out how to change the app's icon that appears when you install the app, the one on the screen that you have to click.

What i did:

• I created a new icon --> new > Image asset (mipmap)
• I deleted ic_launcher (the default one)
• I named the new asset like the old icon (ic_launcher)
• Rebuild
• Clean project
• Invalidate cache and restart
• Installed app

nothing. I still have my app with the annoying default mipmap ic_launcher icon.

I don't really know what to do more than this..

Can anyone help me?

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot the manifest.

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true" >
...
...
</application>

Answer 1

As Suke pointed I forgot posting the solution for this question. Sorry all.

After a lot of managements the solution was easy and it was the one google's one.

this link is where you can create all images for android project.

Go there and:

• insert your image and select all features
• download it
• replace all image formats (xxhdpi, hdpi, ...) in your drawable-xxhdpi, drawable xhdpi,... and mipmap-xxhdpi, mipmap-xhdpi,... folders.
• in manifest set the android:icon = "@drawable/myicon"

this is how I did it

hope it helps

Answer 2

use this side to create icon by uploading the image (use image button)

https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html#foreground.space.trim=1&foreground.space.pad=0&foreColor=607d8b%2C0&crop=0&backgroundShape=square&backColor=ffffff%2C100&effects=none

and then download and save this in drawable folder of your app and then use

 <application
      android:icon="@drawable/myIcon" >
 </application>

in manifests file.
