I'm trying to put the finishing touches on my app design. The launcher icon I have been using is properly scaled for mdpi,hdpi,x,xx but still seems to appear of lower resolution. I've tried a few other things, deleting all lower resolution versions and using a ridiculously oversized version. The logo I'm sizing down is very high resolution to start with. I am doing this all in photoshop. I'm checking the icon appearance using my phone and not an emulator and just to be certain, I've been deleting the app so a new icon is loaded each time.

You are down scaling and the resolution is low? – PrivatMamtora Aug 23 '14 at 07:12

Use other icons and see what makes it happened.
No need to use a very high resolution.

this solved it. more specifically, it directed me to the problem which was there was a file higher up containing launcher icon res with the same name and an old image. the app was using those and not my replacements. oops. – devin e Aug 24 '14 at 04:59

Try to load the icon at the time when you are creating new app as shown in the screen shot. maybe you got help from this

Go to ANDROID ASSET STUDIO
Browse your image and it will generate all the scaled resolution images, then try using the high resolution image. Maybe that would work.

Gave that a try, seemed like a good thought. The image the was created looked a bit better in AS but looked no different once installed – devin e Aug 23 '14 at 16:20
