New icon does not show after running the app

I am using my mobile as simulator and after I overwrote the icons in the app with the ones in the zip file I ran the app but the icon is still the default android studio one. I cleared memory but still no change :(

Hi! I got the same problem, I resolved the issue by duplicating the drawable-* folders and renaming them (the duplicates) to mipmap-*

e.g my res folder looks like this: Res folder

And one of the mipmap folders: mipmap-* folder

Kind Regards, Edvin.
