Android adaptive icon resources
The ZIP contains an Android/res folder you can copy into src/main/res. Adaptive mode also includes legacy launcher PNGs for older Android versions.
Foreground layer
A transparent 108dp layer at each density, with your source artwork centered. A transparent logo gives the cleanest result.
Background layer
Choose a solid color or upload a background image. A separate full-bleed PNG is generated at each density.
Adaptive XML
mipmap-anydpi-v26/ic_launcher.xml references both layers; legacy bitmaps remain available below API 26.
Android defines 108 × 108 dp layers and a centered 66 × 66 dp reference area. Keep the main motif within it, compare masks and test the installed app. The Google Play image is a separate 512 × 512 px PNG.
