Unity3D Android Plugin App Icon Issue

Questions & Answers
1

I wrote an Android plugin. Since I have to ask for GPS permissions I exported the AndroidManifest.xml file from exporting the project as and Android project. I then fixed the naming issues so that it will run (the package name and activity name needs to match Unity’s internal naming).

Now the problem is that the app icon is blank when the app is on my android device. I didn’t change that part. It still says android:icon=“@drawable/app_icon”

I am assuming that something needs to change in relation to this for it to work when I am not building in the Android SDK. I just have the manifest file in my plugins/android folder.

Can someone help me please?

I’ve actually been spending forever figuring out how to do this. It seems there’s not much information out there about this topic.

  • What I did was rename my icon.png
    image to app_icon.png

  • I imported it
    as a sprite in Unity

  • The manifest.xml file in whatever IDE you’re using
    doesn’t matter. Unity overrides it

  • Within your
    plugins/android/manifest.xml file in
    Unity, under the application tag
    change it to say the following under the < application > tag:

    < application android:icon=“@drawable/app_icon” android:label=“@string/app_name” >

The most important part is that it says : android:icon=“@drawable/app_icon”
app_icon being the name of your icon within Unity minus the extension. I don’t know why it isn’t mipmap, but drawable worked for me. Let me know if you have questions or concerns
