Rebuild or regenerate ic launcher png from images in Android Studio

Question

When one first creates a new project  that dialog lets you point to some external  PNG file  and then when that dialog completes  it generates 4 different pixel-sizes of images for use as a launcher-icon   My question is   So  if one already has an existing project created  is there someplace to tell the Studio to re-generate 4 NEW such files  by just re-pointing it elsewhere  to some other  PNG   It occurred to me that I could start a new project and then manually copy all the other files developed so far  such as the  JAVA and  XML files  etc  but that seems like a lot of  work  that I hope won t be necessary

I can confirm that in Android Studio 1 x  here AS  on Windows also the right sequence is    File -  New AS opens a list where you must click on Image Asset AS opens a dialog where the app src main res Directory Structure is automatically selected  the right choice  Clicking on the OK button  AS opens the Asset Studio dialog where you can find all the tools and options we had on the past Eclipse ADT   This can be done absolutely in any moments after creation of the project   Android Studio warns you that it will overwrite the current ic launcer  but this is exactly what we expect to do

the answers above were confusing to me  Here is what i did    File - new Image Asset the first field  Asset type  must be launcher icons  browse to the file you want as icon  select it and android studio will show you in the same window what it will look like under different resolutions  choose a different name for it  click next  Now the icon set for all those hdpi  xhdpi  mdpi will be in corresponding mipmap folders finally  most importantly go to your manifest file and change  android icon  to the name of your new icon image
