Android Question Icon Error - ic_launcher_round not found

[DawningTruth]

I used this tool to create my icon:

Easy App Icon

As suggested by this post:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/adaptive-icons-simple-instructions-and-tips.123843/

Everything went smoothly, but when I try and compile my app I get this error:

Linking resources    Error
AndroidManifest.xml:18: error: resource mipmap/ic_launcher_round (aka b4a.myapp:mipmap/ic_launcher_round) not found.
error: failed processing manifest.

These are the directories the app generates:

I checked through the directories and all of them except mipmap-ldpi have an ic_launcher_round.png file. The mipmap-ldpi directory only has an ic_launcher.png file.

Here is my manifest icon reference:

'Icon
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 presume the issue is that the manifest is looking for the ic_launcher_round file in the mipmap-ldpi directory and not finding it. But the icon generator tool does not generate that file.

Any suggestions?

Have you included the additionalres line and are the directories generated within this directory?

#AdditionalRes: ../icon

Yes...

support-v4 does not look right

That and even androidx.core:core is not in the example for the AdaptiveIcons.

Upload a small project showing the problem. Do not forget to zip the resourcefolder too.

see sample:

Adaptive Icons - simple instructions and tips

All apps should have an adaptive icon. If you are not familiar with these icons then start here: Adaptive Icons Instruction steps: Create a new folder in the root project folder named icon. Create two folders inside that folder with the following files: mipmap: ic_launcher.png -...

I created a demo project (attached) to try and duplicate the problem.

And it works perfectly. But, still not working on my main project. The settings are identical.

I tried removing the support-v4 and androidx.core:core and still the same error. PS: Those items are required for other functionality.

I also tried the new icons that work for the demo project and still the same issue.

I also deleted the folder that does not have an ic_launcher_round file in it and no difference.

I did manage to isolate the error to this line in the manifest.

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

Based on the behaviour, I became suspicious that the problem is related to file corruption within the project. I ran a clean project and now it is working perfectly.
