[Android Studio] Creating Launcher Icon Image Asset

I want to create a Launch Icon in Android Studio but it does not let me finish and generate once I set it up. I am pressing right mouse on the android module then select new -> Image Asset. This opens up a window to setup a icon. Whatever I do here, the finish button does not get enabled and whenever I click on the next button the Asset Studio just vibrates after a view seconds and nothing gets generated. I have tried both Launcher Icon (Legacy) and Launcher Icon (Adaptive and Legacy) modes but both act the same.

 

Anyone know whats going on? After this issue I did a full update of Android Studio which didn't fix things either. Maybe I am forgetting something obvious? I am using Libgdx to build my project.

 

Can you show a screen shot because Finish never highlights on the first screen. You have to click Next, then Finish to complete it.

I can but a video would do a better job in this case.

What would be a nice work around? I found some generators online but they just ask an image and the Asset Studio creates the exact adaptive sizes and make sure it is within the "safe area". I could go with trial and error but I rather use a proper alternative to the Asset Studio if I cannot get it to work.

Are you using this version:

https://developer.android.com/studio/

3.1.3 for Windows 64-bit

I wasn't sure on what OS you're using.

Yes you can add it in all manually, just generate the proper asset sizes and make sure you add the file to your resource folder:

(Keep in mind about the differences for legacy and legacy + adapative)

Then you need to update your Manifest file:


android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

Oh okay.

I have the same:

Android Studio 3.1.3
Build #AI-173.4819257, built on June 4, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b02 amd64

So that is odd you're getting this bug, even after a clean install.

Try the manual way and let me know if it works.

Yeah I did it manually. It was very tedious however to get the icon how I wanted. Should be quicker next time. I filled a bug report for it too. I have no idea what's causing it,  I have not too many tasks running in the background. Weird that I seem to be the only one experiencing this. 

Thanks for trying.
