Create Circular Launcher Icon

Question

I am trying to create circular launcher icons in Android Studio 2.2 but they keep coming out square. Has anyone else encountered this? Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

After clicking Next you should get circular launcher icon.

Previews might be misleading as they have background as the icon.

After all, if you won't get what you expect, try: https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/
