How to change the icon of an Android app in Eclipse?

Go into your AndroidManifest.xml file

  • Click on the Application Tab
  • Find the Text Box Labelled "Icon"
  • Then click the "Browse" button at the end of the text box
  • Click the Button Labelled: "Create New Icon..."

  • Create your icon
  • Click Finish
  • Click "Yes to All" if you already have the icon set to something else.

Enjoy using a gui rather then messing with an image editor! Hope this helps!


In your AndroidManifest.xml file

<application
        android:name="ApplicationClass"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"  <--------
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

Icon creation wizard

  • Select your project
  • Ctrl+n
  • Android Icon Set

Look for this on your Manifest.xml android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" then change the ic_launcher to the name of your icon which is on your @drawable folder.
