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'm trying to add an image in Android studio by right clicking on the drawable folder->new->Image Asset, I add an Action Bar and Tab Bar icon with a custom image and I click finish and it looks like its doing something but nothing appears in the drawable folder. I'm also unable to reference the new image name in any xml. What's funny is if I go to re-add this image, it says the image already exists and it will be overwritten. Am I doing something wrong?
I create a new project with Android Studio and generate image asset in the new project. It begins to work. I don't know what's wrong with the previous project. Hope it also helps for you.
As #Varun said, Before click on Finish, check save path by click on "Next" button.
TLTR: fix any other icon type you touched before.
In my case it was because of wrong path to foreground image path (the source image was deleted):
So even after changing the icon type the error does not disappear (buttons are disabled):
So fix other icon types.
In Background Layer set Asset Type to "Color"
I am trying to create default helloworld project and the project is shownn as the following image.
Why can't I see the project structure?
Please see the image posted here.
If you want to see the screen (layout) of you application you need to navigate to through this:
Project --> app --> res --> layout
Here you can find your layout-files (activity_control.xml in the Screenshot). Double-Tap on this file and it will be opened. If you can see the XML-Code but want to see the virtual device, just click on the Design Button in the bottom left corner.
Please click on project tab at left side.
App -> res -> layout -> your file
as title says, my ic_launcher cut into half, here is the pic
this is the original:
how did this happen, is there any suggestion?
Try using a png file.
or simple right click on your project, select new and then choose Image Asset. Now you will have plenty of options.
It should work
I suggest you use the following method.
Right click on drawable: new ->Image Asset
Select Launcher Icon in asset type
Select the path of the image you want to use as icon and keep the name as ic_launcher only.
next and finish.
You can customize it using the different checkboxes and options.
This should work for the launcher icons.
ps: not enough reputation to comment, so posting as a new answer. :/
This wizard appears when creating new android projects.
I would like to change the app icon of an android project.
Editing my new-version icon image into different density manually is kinda inefficient, therefore I want to open this wizard in eclipse again.
How am I supposed to do it?
the image of the wizard:
Right click on your project.
Select New and then other.
In the type filter text section type in android icon set.
Select Android Icon Set from the result and click on Next.
You can create your launcher icon again there!

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!
