Avoid round app logo for Nougat Version?

Question

The round app logo is using instead of the square logo. The square logo shows when i remove the android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round" from manifest file. But in oreo, the app logo shows the default one when I removed the roundIcon. After searching on the internet I came to know in oreo it only shows the round icon you can do nothing about it.

How can I set the square icon when there is a possibility to set square instead of round in all version (Nougat, etc)?

Answer 1

you can change icon shape in settings. Eg: In pixel phone press and hold the home screen -> settings -> there you can change the shape of the icon.

You have to make an adaptive icon to support square and other shapes. For more info look at the adaptive icons here: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive
