I can't find a way to add an icon.
I read that you can right click and create a new Image Asset. But it can't be found on the latest version of Android Studio.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/34331879/179736
You have to navigate to .app/src/main first - not directly to .app.
Then right-click on res folder and you will be able to add your image asset
check here
click on main menus ---> file ---> new ----> ImageAsset , like this :
or right click on res folder and new Image Asset :

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?
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/
Hope it will help
Set the project structure to Android
For app module :-
1. Select app-> res
2. Right click on res folder, click on Image Asset
3. In Legacy tab set the shape to Circle
For wear module :-
1. Select wear-> res
2. Right click on res folder, click on Image Asset
3. In Legacy tab set the shape to Circle
Go to under "File > New > Asset Studio", then look for Foreground, Background, Legacy.
Click on Legacy and
choose "circle" from the drop-down menu under "shape".
I have changed android app's icon by copying the 'res' folder generated from the https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html
But recently I updated my android studio to 2.2 preview 4 . When I changed the app icon by following the same procedure mentioned above,the icon is not changing some how it still the default android icon
The things I tried are
Searched for ic_launcher.png in the res folder and make sure that there is no other file than the custom one I made.
Restarted the project.
It worked when I renamed my ic_launcher.png to ic_launcher1.png
Either you find all the images of ic_launcher in mipmap if using android studio or in drawable if using eclipse or also you can go inside manifest file and change app icon from application tag named as icon
In your manifest you can change here in your application tag
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
to add your image into res folder go to mipmap open it with click go to Image Asset and select there image and select it from its location, go to image location and then select it, just added the image on res folder and selected its on of type from xxxhdpi.png, xxhdpi.png xhdpi.png hdpi.png.. I selected hdpi.png from that
And then go to AndroidManifest.xml and change ic_launcher to your selected image type or press ctrl+space you will get all the option you have
(android:icon="#mipmap/hdpi" )
I am new to intelij IDEA. I have just discovered that there is no drawables folder in my res folder.
Do the drawables come automatically or you just have to add it by yourself?If so how it is been done?
I will appreciate your response.
Just drag and drop the image from the source folder to idea res/drawable package. I know for a fact it works for PNG image.
In Android Studio you can press mouse right button on res folder and then go in new section and choose "Image Asset". In it find "Asset Type" press on it and select "Action Bar and Tab Icons" then select your image path, write name for it and that's all. Although if you won't see it just select "Project" isteaad of Android in left Project menu
Right click on res folder: New -> Android resource directory.
Select resource type: drawable, change parameters as you wish, press OK.
Ready!
When I try to create a new menu resource file in res/menu as stated in the guide, the folder is not there. Neither is res/xml. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? I tried to create the folder but it didn't allow me to do so
If it is in android studio v2.1.1, to create a res/menu folder follow these steps:
Right click on res -> New -> Android resource directory -> Change the Resource type to 'menu' in the drop-down menu -> click OK
To create menu file under menu folder follow these steps:
Right click on menu folder -> New -> Menu resource file -> Give the file name -> click OK.
Note: For xml file it's the same procedure but in the dropdown menu choose 'xml' instead of 'menu'
In Eclipse? Right-click on the res folder, select New and then select Folder.
You should be able to create the folder with no issues. Check that you have write permissions on that folder. Also you can try to right click on the res folder and go to new then other. In the window that pops up select Android -> Android XML File. In the new window you can use the radio group to select what type of file you want to create. This should create the folders for you.
Right click on the res folder-->New-->Android reesource directory
There you can set Resource type: as "Menu" and add Menu XML as required.
change the "Android" tag to "Project"
After doing that, find the Directory you created (manu)-> right click on the folder and choose "Menu Resource File"
On the new Dialog change "Values" to "Menu -> press OK
Now you should see the "menu" folder in Android tag!
I am completely new with Android/Eclipse. I can't figure out how to add an image in the /res/drawable folder of my Android Eclipse project.
Copy the image CTRL + C then in Eclipse select drawable folder, right click -> Paste
Drop in the image in /res/drawable folder. Then in Eclipse Menu, do ->Project -> Clean. This will do a clean build if set to build automatically.
Just copy the image and paste into Eclipse in the res/drawable directory. Note that the image name should be in lowercase, otherwise it will end up with an error.
Right click on drawable folder_new_file-
click on advanced button_
link to file in the file system_
then click on browse.
finish
You can just put it in on the file system. Eclipse will pick up the change on the next refresh. Click the folder and press F5 to refresh. BTW, make sure the file name does not have any capital letters... it will break android... and eclipse will let you know.
Thanks for the information .It helped me out as my project was somehow not visible in workspace therefore I had to insert the image from ECLIPSE IDE.
Also another way to do it is:
The image to be inserted should be copied ctrl+c and then right click on the drawable folder and PASTE it.
The image comes in drawable folder using ECLIPSE IDE.
You can use the image as an icon of the application using Manifest File-android:icon="#drawable/image_name"
Do you want to add an image from your computer? Just right click the folder in Eclipse and click Import
When inserting an image into the drawable folders, another import point in addition to the "no capital letters" rule is that the image name cannot contain dashes or other special characters.
Open folder path of Android application, open src folder then Add your image in /res/drawable folder
For Android Studio:
Right click on res, new Image Asset
On Asset type choose Action Bar and Tab Icons
Choose the image path
Give your image a name in Resource name
Next->Finish
The image will be saved in the /res/drawable folder!
Try to use jpg and png , also name your image in lowercase. Then drag and drop the image in res/drawable . then go to file and click save all . close eclipse then reopen it again . That is what worked for me .
You just need to copy/cut and paste the images into drawable folder using windows/mac file explorer
To refresh the workspace follow the steps mentioned in this question
Eclipse: How do i refresh an entire workspace? F5 doesn't do it
If that does not work you might wanna restart eclispe
