Could anyone help me and tell me how to make the icon full size?

did you created this image in android studio or from android assets store? — Mustanser Iqbal, Mar 18 '16 at 12:33
**APP ICON SIZES** 48 × 48 (mdpi) 72 × 72 (hdpi) 96 × 96 (xhdpi) 144 × 144 (xxhdpi) 192 × 192 (xxxhdpi) 512 × 512 (Google Play store) — DJphy, Mar 18 '16 at 12:34

Thanks @MustanserIqbal for the replay,,, I used assests in Android studio,, the problem just the size of the icone,,, it seems to have something like padding or margin.. — Kurdish Programmer, Mar 18 '16 at 13:18
create a new icon with same process and check the option name trim surrounding blank space.and set the forground scaling to crop.. and i hope that will work — Mustanser Iqbal, Mar 18 '16 at 13:22
then i think you need to make image from android assets studio. — Mustanser Iqbal, Mar 18 '16 at 13:37

File -> New -> Image Asset

Select Launcher icons as asset type

choose high res image

and dont forget to tick the box that says "Trim surrounding blank space"

The problem is only with the size of the icone,, it looks like there is a padding or margin with the edges,, I don't know how to remove this padding! – Kurdish Programmer Mar 18 '16 at 13:20

Yes @Shreyans still not solved,, The image that I have used is 512X512 px, does this size is alright?? – Kurdish Programmer Mar 18 '16 at 13:24
can you upload original image? also try this site https://materialdesignicons.com/ – Shreyans Mar 18 '16 at 13:26
In the manafest.xml- application tag, i have this: (android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher") it is alright??? – Kurdish Programmer Mar 18 '16 at 13:29
Thanks so much Shreyans, I used your method + I also used Photoshop to remove the padding of each image.. – Kurdish Programmer Mar 18 '16 at 13:48

I found two solutions to get around the extra padding that Android Studio adds when creating icons:

Resize images using a [Windows] batch file. This is the one I use because it's the easiest for me (on Windows):

a. Create a ResizeImage.exe using the simple code from http://www.ianmcintyre.com/2014/06/c-resize-image-fit-image.html

b. Save the following ResizeAndroidLauncherImage.bat file in the same directory as ResizeImage.exe. This copies your original image to the various directories and resizes them:

@echo off
setlocal

set subdir=%2
set iconsize=512
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher-web.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher-web.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

set subdir=%2\res\mipmap-xxxhdpi
set iconsize=192
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

set subdir=%2\res\mipmap-xxhdpi
set iconsize=144
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

set subdir=%2\res\mipmap-xhdpi
set iconsize=96
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

set subdir=%2\res\mipmap-hdpi
set iconsize=72
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

set subdir=%2\res\mipmap-mdpi
set iconsize=48
if not exist "%subdir%" mkdir "%subdir%"
copy /Y %1 %subdir%\ic_launcher.png
%~dp0ResizeImage.exe %subdir%\ic_launcher.png %iconsize% %iconsize%

endlocal

c. Execute the batch file every time you update your icon:

ResizeAndroidLauncherImage.bat [YourIcon.png] [YourAndreoidSRCDir]

Use the Android Asset Studio (https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/icons-launcher.html). You'll have to modify the source to remove the extra padding. See https://github.com/romannurik/AndroidAssetStudio/issues/73 for a discussion on how to do that. I tried this and used "none":
```
const TARGET_RECTS_BY_SHAPE = { none: { x: 0, y: 0, w: 46, h: 46 }, circle: { x: 2, y: 2, w: 44, h: 44 }, square: { x: 5, y: 5, w: 38, h: 38 }, vrect: { x: 8, y: 2, w: 32, h: 44 }, hrect: { x: 2, y: 8, w: 44, h: 32 }, };
```

If I had Photoshop on my development machine, I would also try:

Record and play back a batch script in Photoshop. [Note that I did not try this]
