What does ic_launcher stand for?

Tags:

icons

It seems that ic_launcher.png is the canonical name for launcher icons for Android apps. What does "ic" stand for? My guess is "icon", but that's kind of a strange way to abbreviate it, so I'm wondering if it's something else?

What is mipmaps in Android?

The mipmap folders are for placing your app/launcher icons (which are shown on the homescreen) in only. Any other drawable assets you use should be placed in the relevant drawable folders as before.

Your assumption is right. The "ic" stands for "icon".
