[android] How do you change the launcher logo of an app in Android Studio?

I was wondering how to change the launcher icon in Android Studio.

In the manifest file, under the tag, there will be a similar line:

android:icon="drawable_resource_path"

Place the launcher icon you want in drawable folder and write its resource path.

We can replace the code in the AndroidManifest file in the application tag

android:icon="@drawable/logo"

Here is another solution which I feel is more sensible for those working on Android Studio:

1. Expand the project root folder in the Project View
2. Right Click on the app folder
3. In the Context Menu go to New->Image Asset
4. In the pop up that appears select the the new logo you would like to have(image/clip art/text).
5. If you were selecting the image radio button (as is the default choice), if you clicked on the 3-buttons to show the path tree to locate your .png image file, most probably you might not be seeing it, so drag it from the Windows Explorer (if Windows) and drop it in the tree, and it will appear and ready for being selected.

That is it! You have a new logo for you app now.

Go to your project folder\app\src\main\res\mipmap-mdpi\ic_launcher.png

You will see 5 mipmap folders. Replace the icon inside of the each mipmap folder, with the icon you want.

I created my icons using this tool:

https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/index.html

After I downloaded these (they were already pre named to ic_launcher, very useful!) I found the

mipmap ic_launcher folder under the res folder

and I replaced the pre icons with the ones I created. Reinstall your app, and you'll see your new icon!

Try this process, this may help you.

1. Create PNG image file of size 512x512 pixels
2. In menu, go to File -> New -> Image Asset
3. Select Image option in Asset type options
4. Click on Directory Box at right.
5. Drag image to source asset box
6. Click Next (Note: Existing launcher files will be overwritten)
7. Click Finish

***** NB: Icon type should be Launcher Icons (Adaptive and Legacy) *****

To quickly create a new set of icons and change the launcher icon in Android Studio, you can:

1. Use this tool: https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html to upload your preferred image or icon (your source file). The tool then automatically creates a set of icons in all the different resolutions for the ic_launcher.png.

2. Download the zip-file created by the tool, extract everything (which will create a folder structure for all the different resolutions) and then replace all the icons inside your project res folder: <AndroidStudioProjectPath>\app\src\main\res

Click app/manifests/AndroidManifest.xml You see android:icon="@mipmap/your image name"

Also change android:roundicon="@mipmap/your image name" Example: android:icon="@mipmap/image" that's all

1. Go to AndroidManifest.xml

2. In the tag, look for android:icon tag.

3. Copy and paste your icon in drawable folder(available in res folder of your project).

4. Set the value of android:icon tag as

   android:icon="@drawable/youriconname"

Voila! you are done. Save the changes and test.

go to AndroidManifest.xml and change the android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" to android:icon="@mipmap/(your image name)" suppose you have a image named telugu and you want it to be set as your app icon then change android:icon="@mipmap/telugu" and you have to copy and paste your image into mipmap folder thats it its so simple as i said

Go to:

res > drawable > right click > show in folder > add desired logo

Then go to android manifest, edit ICON tag under application tag, use "@drawable/nameOfImage"

All the download process is too long, just navigate to your project preview and select project view, right click on app folder, then click on new, then create a new image asset. Kindly choose the file path and click next and finish.

important: Reinstall your app.

Here are my steps for the task:

1. Create PNG image file of size 512x512 pixels
2. In Android Studio, in project view, highlight a mipmap directory
3. In menu, go to File>New>Image Asset
4. Click Image Button in Asset type button row
5. Click on 3 Dot Box at right of Path Box.
6. Drag image to source asset box
7. Click Next (Note: Existing launcher files will be overwritten)
8. Click Finish
