Setting an icon to your android project

WHY

Because the default isn't a good choice for a good app ..

HOW

Following the guidelines in the LINKS section, you need 3 icons. 36x36, 48x48, 72x72. For a nice effect it would be nice if you'd have a transparent background !

All you have to do is place icon.png :

36x36 -> res/drawable-ldpi 48x48 -> res/drawable-mdpi 72x72 -> res/drawable-hdpi

You can have it with a different name by specifying 'android:icon="@drawable/icon"' in <application> in AndroidManifest.xml without the .png extension !
