[SOLVED] Cannot change launcher icon

[maurobio]

Dear ALL,

Here is yet another Android newbie question...

I have not been able to change the launcher icon in my app. I go to Project -> Options -> [LAMW] Android Project Options and in the Application tab I change the launcher icon for a custom image (36 x 36), which is correctly displayed. However, when I compile the app and install it on the target device, the standard 'lemur catta' LAMW icon is displayed instead of my own icon.

How can I make my own icon be used as the launcher icon?

Thanks in advance!

With best regards,

Go to your project folder....   
look for  the folders  " res/drawable*** " and replace  the "ic_launcher.png" collection...
but the file name  of your new icons must continue as "ic_launcher.png"
(some online tools can produce all collection for you...)

Hi, @jmpessoa!

Doing it manually? Really? In that case, what use would be the fancy 'Project Options' -> '[LAMW] Android Project Options' interface?

I just discovered that, by choosing the '96x96' size in the Launcher icon dropdown box allows the IDE to automagically create all required versions (in lesser and larger sizes) of the launcher icon!

well, it looks like i'm already in another phase:  living and forgetting and [maybe] (re)learning...
