You’ve created a few Android applications so far, but you’re perplexed as to why there is always a default symbol on the screen with the app name beneath it, every time. Can’t we just set it up the way we want it to look and work? Because of how we have been used to seeing icons for each and every program on our phone, such as Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, Gmail, media player and all games, Also available is the ability to customize the icon picture that will be shown with the name of your program. Because the icon is really related with the name of the program, we must modify the image attribute associated with that name.
steps: The icon is a property of the screen that may be modified. There is undoubtedly an open screen in our program, which is followed by a few additional screens.
You can see the icon property in the properties pane if you pick Screen1 from the component viewer.

When it comes to Android icons, this is the maximum size that is approved by the community. If you pick a picture that is larger than these dimensions, it may seem shabby.
