I have the following problem using android studio:
I have finished my app and everything is ok when I test it on my android smartphone with the emulator connected by USB.
Then I have sent the apk to a friend for testing and he found out that there was no application icon on the screen.
What can be the reason?
Is the icon only visible in the apk in google play store?
How can I be sure that it is visible when publishing it in the play store?
Or is the reason that I have not defined a round icon but only a rectangular?
Is it necessary to define a round icon (which does not look well for my icon)?
If I do not define a round Icon have I to define the rounded_icon like the rectangular or can I leave the basic android icon or have I to delete the rounded icon property?
I know a lot of questions but arising only from one.
Thank you for help.

If you want to send to other people your app then you need to Build apk and then sent to anybody
Go to Build/Build apk
and then build that app and sent to anybody
they can install app like any other app.
Their is no problem on defining only round icon
TO generate only square icon click on
new/image asset/
and then go to legacy to generate only square icon

We are developing a react-native application. When we have updated the release app from the play store, some of the icons are misplaced at the other sections of the app in ANDROID. This is really strange for us. When I deleted the app and re install the application it will be fine. But when update the app the icons are placed somewhere in the app in Android.
Also in iOS there is no such issues.
In the earlier versions everything was fine in android and it showing weird results on some of the icons.
example :- If I place icon named "cart" it's supposed to show a cart icon, but instead I'm getting chat icon. But these icons are we are showing from the assets folder.
Issue is like this link :- (https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/29645)
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, can you tell me where to look for a fix?
Thanks in advance.
I try to upload an icon for a new android application on the google play console.

I tried to upload the icon (also a screen) I made with GIMP, but it won't work. Without any message. Does anyone of you guys know, what's wrong with the images or how i can create a proper one?
For all, who also can't upload an app icon for the store. First you need to upload an apk, then it will work. It is kind of confusing because the tab 'Store-Entry' pops up first.
A quiet basic question: I'm developing an app which should also run on the Fire TV. Is there anyway to add a icon to that launcher?
I know I can go the long way over the settings to start my app, but that is not very handy.
I'm also confused how I need to create my icon for that launcher a standard launcher icon is wrong, because Amazon uses differnt icon sizes. I found some confusing informations that the launcher icons come from the amazon store only. Is that true?
if you are sideloading your apk (adb install or pushing from your development environment) then on FireTV you won't see an icon in the launcher for your app, as you rightly point out you will only see it from the Settings | Applications | Manage All Applications menu.
The only way to have an icon appear there is to either submit and publish it, or use Live App Testing if you're not ready to submit and publish publicly but want to invite some beta testers (you can do multiple submissions through Live App Testing before going live)
When you submit your app (either for Live App Testing, or a full submission) there is an option in the developer portal to upload the various assets - icons, screenshots, descriptions, pricing etc
The default icon for any android app is ic_launcher.png. It's usually located in all the different drawable folder buckets (drawable-mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi). You can change the icon, if you are interested, by placing a new icon in one of the buckets and then modifying the android:icon attribute under the application tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
I am creating an android application in Google app inventor. Every time an application is created the app inventor itself creates a default icon. I don’t know how to change this icon.
Can anybody tell me how to change the icon for an android app created in Google App Inventor?
You can get more information here : http://www.appinventor.org/appPage
Select your project and look to the right side of the screen, to the properties column. There you have "Icon" box. So just click that box, select "Upload new..." and choose your icon at the disk.
I'm android application developer and I want to know how to change my android icon after downloading from Google Play.
I mean, the icon of my application which you can see on Google Play and the icon of my application which you can see on home screen of your android smartphone are different.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.
The 512x512 icon you upload to the developer console (when you publish the app) is the one that will be seen in Google Play. The 36x36, 48x48, 72x72, and 96x96 icons you put in your drawable resource folders are what will show up on the device homescreen/app drawer.
There's no way to change your app's Google Play image after you published it. So make sure to make it right in the first time.
