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

Question

I am developing an app using Eclipse IDE Juno and Android SDK.

How do I change my app's icon?

Answer 1

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

Rob R.'s answer was definitely the way to go. I tried copying the ic_launcher.png files from another project and Eclipse still wouldn't read them. Going through the manifest is much quicker and easier.
