I Tried to use a different picture from the web instead of the smiley icon, but it fails to load the new image.

I was able to load the mipmap with a .png picture I downloaded from the internet. I can further go into each ic_launcher.png double click them and see the picture I want. Next I try to run the program which runs fine but does not have the new image in the icon. (Has whatever the last one I loaded was, so still the face icon that it had us build in the video)

Maybe helpful debug info: 2:01:47 PM Gradle build finished with 1 error(s) in 1s 187ms (event log) 01-07 14:02:29.963 2694-2709/---.firstprogram E/Surface: getSlotFromBufferLocked: unknown buffer: 0xab855f50 (Android Monitor)

OS and Software info: Currently running on Windows 10 with Android Studio updated to latest.

Yes I saved it, I ran it the same way I ran the tutorial one which came as an attached zip from the teachers comments which I was able to get to work. Only difference I can see is the one in a tutorial had all the different formats hdpi mdpi xhdpi etc, where as the one from the internet that I can't get to work only had 1 size which I shoved into all the different formats.
