How To Create A Circular Icon For My Android App?

I just swapped my android launcher icon(just learned how). I noticed MANY icons on my android are circular and I am wondering do I have to get an image done like that OR is there

Solution 1:

You'll need to use adaptive icons instead of a single image to allow Android to adjust your icon. Essentially this is defining a background drawable and a foreground drawable, and Android will do the rest.

If you right click your res/drawable folder in Android Studio, then select New -> Image Asset, you will see the following wizard. This will let you easily create launcher icons that work in all shapes.

For further information you may find the official Android docs helpful, as well as Nick Butcher's excellent guide.
