3) Adding a Custom App Icon

Android App Icon

Here’s how to add a custom app icon to your WebView-based Android app:

1. Locate Existing App Icons

To begin, find the existing app icon files:

  • Right-click on each 'ic_launcher.png' file in your project (sizes from hdpi to xxxhdpi).
  • Select Reveal in Finder (Mac) or Reveal in Explorer (Windows).

2. Replace with Your Icon

Replace each ic_launcher.png file with your new icon file, ensuring the new icons meet the following requirements:

  • Include icons for each resolution: hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, and xxxhdpi.
  • Use a high-quality image (preferably in PNG format).

Tip: You may also use the Launcher Icon Generator (note: WebViewGold is not affiliated with the tool’s developer).

Different devices will display square or round icons. Therefore, you must include:

  • 'ic_launcher.png': Used on devices with square icons.
  • 'ic_launcher_round.png' and 'ic_launcher_foreground.png': Used on devices with round icons.

Android Icon Round vs. Box

Place all three files in the respective mipmap folders for each resolution (mipmap-hdpi, mipmap-xhdpi, mipmap-xxhdpi, and mipmap-xxxhdpi).

The video explains in detail the process to change the icon of your new App, and some recommendations to create it.
