Import icons into Android Studio

Both Android Studio and Google Play Developer Console require developers to include app icons. You have to first import app icons assets into your Android Studio project. When you submit your app on Google Play Developer Console, you need to upload a 152 x 152 pixel png file for the app icon on Google Play Store. You can use MakeAppIcon to generate the Android icons and follow the guide below to fulfil Google's graphic asset requirements.

Import by drag and drop to Android Studio

  1. Extract the icon zip file.
  2. Find the android directory inside the extracted file.
  3. Now, go to Android Studio and open your project.

Submit your Play Store icon to Google Play Developer Console

  5. Fill in other information and submit your app!
