Is there any way that set the application Icon and Name from an external resource such as an image which embedded inside the assets/ folder in the project? Or is there any way that let us set icon and name of app without using AndroidManifest.xml file?

  • No it is not possible . You should send an update and things would change in accordance with `AndroidManifest.xml` – Prateek May 20 '13 at 09:15

    This is an old answer here on SO. Not sure if it is valid any more (_or valid at all!_). But see if this works: http://stackoverflow.com/a/15249542/450534. It is only for changing the app icon. But this is only for the icon. The app name **has to** be setup in the `AndroidManifest.xml`. – Siddharth Lele May 20 '13 at 09:17

No.

No.

For your activities, you can override the title and/or icon used in the action bar or title bar, if that is your actual objective. However, you cannot change the values used for things like the home screen launcher icon or your app's entry in the application list in Settings.

    How does it help you to change app icon and name without manifest.xml or you have changed the approach. Also I would suggest you accept the answers so that you may get the right answers with time. – Prateek May 21 '13 at 06:58
  • You are right , but I wanted to change the app name and icon from outside with another program. now I can put my new value inside the new generated.apk file and then resign it with new values for example app name and others resources – Soheil Setayeshi May 21 '13 at 07:54
