Android adding mipmap-xxxhdpi icon

Question

I added a new version (mipmap-xxxhdpi) in my old project. But the file is coming in red color and also one more file ic_launcher-web.png got generated.

Can you explain why this things happens and how resolve them?

This will happens when your project is connected to github repository. — Chirag Savsani, Oct 07 '15 at 05:56
Could you elaborate what version control tool are you using? (Git, svn, ...) — anthonymonori, Oct 07 '15 at 06:58

If it is red, it means it is not under version control (was not yet added).

You should right click the file > Subversion / Git > Add to VCS.

The ic_launcher-web.png one, is meant to be used for when you publish to Google Play, you can easily delete it for now.

Your project is under source control (git?). Red files are files not added to the repository yet. To fix it you need to add file: git add in the console or similar command in the Android Studio GUI.

ic_launcher-web.png is icon with size 512x512. It should be used when you publish your app in the Play Store.

@adarsh : Actually your project is connected to github repository .

Red means the branch is behind its remote

CLICK Click CNTRL+SHIPT+A ON THIS IMAGE

You should add and comment like this way

  prompt> git add some-file
  prompt> git commit -m "Your Comments"

Or you can Click VCS->GIT->PUSH

ic_launcher-web.png This is the icon for the google play store. You need to provide a 512 x 512 icon. SO
