This tool do not generate "background" and "foreground" icon, or I am doing wrong ?

I will wait for this resource to be added to Basic4Android because I tryed a lot but my program crash, so I ended up with simple "Choose Icon" on the menu that works fine.

1.- Download.



2. Unzip and find the android directory.





3. Add the resource directory where the icons are in your project.

Note: rename android directory to icon



4. Add the directory where the icons are to your project.



4. Add the following to the manifest.

SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@mipmap/ic_launcher")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:roundIcon, "@mipmap/ic_launcher_round")

CreateResource(mipmap-anydpi-v26, ic_launcher.xml,
<adaptive-icon xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<background android:drawable="@color/ic_launcher_background" />
<foreground android:drawable="@mipmap/ic_launcher_foreground" />
</adaptive-icon>
)

I've tried using that web site. i changed the colour and selected the file (named as ic_launcher). What do I do after that?

Apologies for my last incorrect post: it's obvious what to do if I had not had a senile moment! I just noticed the Download button on the web site. I've clicked on the Android instruction. But when I click on the Download button, it gives 2 options: one for iOS with Adaptive icon button & one with iOS with Legacy button only. I clicked on the Adaptive button and I noticed that the ic_launcher zip contains a folder for iOS and a folder for Android.

The generated images (in their sub-folders) look Ok. But the changes in the manifest are not reflected in the example project! I have attached a file showing the manifest in the example project together with a zip file of that project as well as the changes. If the changes are correct where do hey go in the standard manifest?

Would not doing the Adaptive Icons procedure prevent a search (from a phone) on Google Play Store from finding an app even though it's gone live on the Play Store?

hello
Unable to get the icon with correct size.
I create an icon directory in which 2 subdirectories mipmap and mipmap-xxxhdpi.

I write in the Main:
And in the manifest :
And here is the result, the icon which is not in the right dimension.
Where is the problem please?
Merci
