Android MipMaps not working (Android Studio)

Question

So, I set the mipmap folders up in the res/ directory (such as /src/main/res/mipmap-mdpi, and so on, for the different densities), and in the manifest I put the android:icon=@mipmap/ic_launcher for the ic_launcher.png files, yet I still get that android green guy on my phone when i press the play button. very frustrating. any suggestions to try?

ive tried uninstalling the app and cleaning the project

In your Android Studio Inside a package Manager

Right click on folder app and select new->Image Asset
Default is launcher icon, just select your image and done

Unfortunately I tried that already to no avail. It selects the proper image, replaces whatever was in the mipmap folders, but still upon launch gives the green Android default icon. I might try creating a new project and just pasting my classes into that, maybe some hidden config settings got skewed – MasterSquirrel Jul 17 '15 at 13:12
In your androidManifest.xml look inside tag where android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher" is define make sure this is a correct path – Sanjeev Jul 17 '15 at 16:57

This fixed it for me in Android Studio

Make sure your png image is in the res/drawable folder.
Make sure your png image does not contain an uppercase character.

3. Create App icon using Image Assest

4. Replace "android:icon=ic_launcher" with your icon name

Rebuild and you are good to go.

I had closed the tag in the manifest file so it wasn't reading in the mipmap resources

should have been

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        >

instead of

<application>
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
