Android Question Adaptive Icon ic_launcher

[Scantech]

I read the tutorial but still confused about adaptive icons. What is IC_Launcher.png? Background.png is the icon shape and foreground.png is the mask? Where can i find the 108x108 mask icons?

What is IC_Launcher.png?

This is the icon that will show on Android 7- devices.

Background.png is the icon shape and foreground.png is the mask?

Yes.

What am i suppose to do with drawable-small, drawable-large, drawable normal and drawable folder? I do have icons in them. Should i delete them?

Its not working with JellyBean 4.3. See attached photo.

If i use Drawable folder (icon.png) without mipmap, it displays ok.

Make sure to carefully follow the tutorial instructions. It should work on all devices. You can also run B4A-Bridge project as an example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4a-bridge-source-code.8153/#content

I compiled your B4A-Bridge and it displays ok with 4.3 Jellybean. I then took your mipmap folder and also the Drawable folder and added to my project and it fails to display the icon properly. it just shows blank white background. My manifest is same as yours and i have your mipmap and drawable folder. Why is it doing this?

Update: Probably related to Emulator. I added 2 same icons and 1 of them displayed ok while other is blank white.

Test it with a different package name. Might be a caching issue on the emulator.
