I'm working on an application on Android Studio and decided to try and change the app icon to a circle shape since it would look better. I connected this to my Huawei phone decided to see if it would work but unfortunately it instead outputted the default square icon. The strange thing, however, was when I ran the application on an emulator, the icon was circled shape.

Is there something extra I'm supposed to do when it comes to physical devices?

  • [Adapting icons](https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_adaptive) are the ones usually used now, depending on your sdk it changes, but you could specify a unique icon that applies to every device, what kind of icon are you setting on your android:icon="??" – javdromero Mar 10 '21 at 15:29
  • My android icon = the image I want it to equal, so that works well and all, just the icon shape itself acting strangely for no reason. Yeah it must be my device itself – Thanos Mar 10 '21 at 15:43
  • You mean a launcher icon on the home screen? Or a rounded `ImageView`? – Onik Mar 10 '21 at 15:45

You can generate your icon through Android Studio's asset studio, but there is this Launcher icon generator that helps with that and you can choose a circular shape, then when you are finished, just copy and paste the generated files on your resources project directory and then use them on your manifest.xml.

If you use the second option, it will be the same on all devices, just keep in mind that on Android 10+ when your app is installed it will automatically draw a squared rounded shaped around your icon
