Answer 1

I suppose you want to use this image as an icon. As Android is telling you, your image is too large. What you just need to do is scale your image so that Android knows which size of the image to use and when according to screen resolution. To accomplish this, in Android Studio: 1. right click on the res folder, 2. select Image Asset 3. Select icon Type 4. Give the icon a name 5. Select Image on Asset Type 6. Trim your image Click next and finish. In your xml or source code just refer to the image which will now be located either in the layout or mipmap folder according to asset type selected. The error will go away.
