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

How do I change my app's icon?

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!

    Worth mentioning that you need to open the `AndroidManifest.xml` by Android Manifest Editor - by right click on the file in Package Explorer. – Deqing Sep 24 '13 at 08:53
  • Note: Have to do a clean before you build after changing the icon. – Reaz Murshed Jan 19 '15 at 06:52

In your AndroidManifest.xml file

<application
        android:name="ApplicationClass"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"  <--------
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

    Or... right-click project->New->Other->Android Icon Set. For macintosh computers, the shortcut is command+n. – SMBiggs May 27 '14 at 06:03

Look for this on your Manifest.xml android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" then change the ic_launcher to the name of your icon which is on your @drawable folder.

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.
