If you're taking this codelab as part of the Android Basics in Kotlin course, you can directly use the tip calculator from the previous codelab that you're already working on.
What is an adaptive icon and why it's made up of two layers.How to use Image Asset Studio in Android Studio to generate launcher icon assets.How to change the launcher icon of an app.Able to install an Android app from Android Studio on the emulator or a physical device.Able to navigate the files of a basic Android project, including the resource files.Afterwards, you can take what you learned and apply it to changing the app icon for other apps! You will use a tool in Android Studio called Image Asset Studio to generate all versions of the launcher icons needed. This codelab will provide you with image source files for a Tip Calculator launcher icon to practice with. By implementing an adaptive icon for your app, your app will be able to accommodate a large range of devices by displaying a high-quality app icon appropriately. That's why the Android platform introduced support for adaptive icons (as of API level 26). Regardless of the shape the device manufacturers choose, the goal is for all the app icons on a single device to have a uniform shape for a more consistent user experience. They could display all the app icons in a square shape, rounded square, or squircle (between a square and circle) for example. As part of that, different manufacturers may show app icons in a different shape than the circular icon shape shown above. Sometimes device manufacturers will create a custom Launcher experience that's signature to their brand. If you've tried different Android devices, you may have noticed that the Launcher experience can look different depending on the device manufacturer. Launcher refers to the experience when you hit the Home button on an Android device to view and organize your apps, add widgets and shortcuts, and more. You may also hear the app icon referred to as a launcher icon. It also appears in a number of places including the Home screen, All Apps screen, and the Settings app. An app icon is an important way to distinguish your app.
