I did everything the video said but I do not know why it does not work in the emulator. I tried couple of times deleting the icon in the res directory and recopy from the downloaded icon folder but to no avail. The default icon android robot appears in the emulator. When I click on it the app works just fine but there is a disconnect with the icon appearing.

1,793 PointsHi Seth, Thank-you for your help. I am looking for the mipmap-* directory and I cannot see anything close to it. I used the search box and uncollapsed everything in the project directory but fail to see anything named mipmap???
