I ve posted a script for generating all platform icons for PhoneGap apps from a single SVG icon file  If you have existing bitmaps  I also include some notes that may help you to generate the SVG vectors from an existing bitmap  This won t work for all bitmaps but may for yours    https   github com tohagan phonegap-graphics

According to the Material design guidelines  here  under  DP unit grid    your product icon should be of size 48 dp  with a padding of 1dp  except for the case of XXXHDPI  where the padding should be 4dp   So  in pixels  the sizes are    48    48  mdpi    with 1 dp padding 72    72  hdpi   with 1 dp padding 96    96  xhdpi   with 1 dp padding 144    144  xxhdpi   with 1 dp padding 192    192  xxxhdpi    with 4 dp padding   I recommend to avoid using VectorDrawable as some launchers don t support it  but I think WEBP should be ok as long as you have your minSdk support transparency for them  API 18 and above - Android 4 3    If you publish on the Play Store  the requirement to what to upload there are  based on here      32-bit PNG  with alpha   Dimensions  512px by 512px  Maximum file size  1024KB

I would create separate images for each one   LDPI should be 36 x 36   MDPI should be 48 x 48   TVDPI should be 64 x 64   HDPI should be 72 x 72   XHDPI should be 96 x 96   XXHDPI should be 144 x 144   XXXHDPI should be 192 x 192    Then just put each of them in the separate stalks of the drawable folder   You are also required to give a large version of your icon when uploading your app onto the Google Play Store and this should be WEB 512 x 512  This is so large so that Google can rescale it to any size in order to advertise your app throughout the Google Play Store and not add pixelation to your logo   Basically  all of the other icons should be in proportion to the  baseline  icon  MDPI at 48 x 48   LDPI is MDPI x 0 75   TVDPI is MDPI x 1 33   HDPI is MDPI x 1 5   XHDPI is MDPI x 2   XXHDPI is MDPI x 3   XXXHDPI is MDPI x 4    This is all explained on the Iconography page of the Android Developers website  http   developer android com design style iconography html

No need for third party tools when Android Studio can generate icons for us    File -  New -  Image Asset Then choose Launcher Icons as the Asset Type  Choose a High-res image for the Image file       Next -  Finish to generate icons     Finally update android icon name field in AndroidManifest xml if required

Adaptive Icons Starting with Android 8 0 there are adaptive icons  which are made up of two separate layers  Both layers are 108 x 108 dp    image adapted from Android documentation  Sizes If you are supporting versions below Android 8 0  you still need to include the legacy sizes  48dp   I marked the pixel sizes in red for each resolution below   Don t do it by hand I suppose you could make all of those by hand if you want to  but I have to say that my days of doing that are over  The Android Studio 3 0 Asset Studio is quite good and will generate them all for you  All you have to do is supply a sufficiently large foreground and background image   I used a 1024 x 1024 px image   To open the Asset Studio go to File  gt  New  gt  Image Asset

I had the same problem but then realized the arrangement of my icon graphic within the square allowed  512 x 512 in my case  was not maximized  So I rotated the image and was able to scale it up to fill the corners better  Then I right clicked on my res folder in my project in Android Studio  then choose New then Image Asset  it took me through a wizard where I got to select my image file to use  Then if you check the box that says  Trim surrounding blank space   it makes sure all edges  that are able  touch the sides of your square  These steps got it much bigger than the original
