Android why can't I see ic_launcher-web.png

I'd like a splashscreen simply but I can't see ic_launcher-web.png (which contains my own picture) when launching the App why ?

Does it mean I can't use this to create a splashscreen and I have to code a splashscreen myself ?

ic_launcher-web.png is used only by the Google Play Store.
It's placed outside your resource folders (it's near your manifest file), so it's unreachable.

If you really want to use it, just copy it in a drawable folder (/res/drawable-xyz).

[EDIT]

That picture is sized 512*512 px at 72 dpi, so you may want to resize it to better fit the different resolutions of the various devices your app will run on.

For your reference, here's a good lecture on supporting multiple screen on Android: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
