Error : No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/icon')

Error : No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/icon').

This is my manifest... I'm extremely new to this, just started this morning and have no previous programming experience.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.asdf"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

 <application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
 </application>
<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon">
<activity android:name="ExampleActivity"
          android:label="@string/app_name">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

</manifest>

There's an even simpler solution - delete the cache folder at user/.android/built-cache and go back to android studio and sync with gradle again, if that still doesn't work delete the cache folder again, and restart android studio and re-import the project

If you are 100% sure that directories and files are ok, have a look at the project location.

There is a limit on the path length of files in the Operating System. Perhaps this limit is being exceded in your project files.

Move the project to a shorter folder (say C:/MyProject) and try again!

This was the problem for me!

I also encountered this error. I have a Cordova application and the problem was that in config.xml I had a duplicated element <icon src="icon.png">, one pointing to an non-existing path.

Trying to build HelloWorld app on Ubuntu 16.04. Got error with drawable/icon. Solution could be:

cp ./platforms/android/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/design/25.3.1/res/drawable/navigation_empty_icon.xml    ./platforms/android/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.android.support/design/25.3.1/res/drawable/icon.xml

So, it look like icon.xml file missed.

In my case, I use Xamarin with Visual Studio 2013. I create Blank App (Android) then deploy without any code update.

You can try:

  • Make sure that icon.png (or whatever files mentioned in the application android:icon tag) is present in the drawable-hdpi folder inside res folder of Android project.

  • If it shows the error even if the icon.png is present,then remove the statement application android:icon from the AndroidManifest.xml and add it again.

  • Check your project folder's path. If it is too long, or contains space, or contains any unicode character, try to relocated.

What solved the problem for me was - create a folder "drawable" in "..platforms/android/res/" and put "icon.png" in it.

This happens when you have previously changed your icon or the ic_launcher; and when that ic_launcher no longer exists in your base folder.

Try adding a png image and giving the same name and then copy it to your drawable folder.Now re build the project.

Found this question. I was importing an old project into android studio and got the error.

The issue was eventually answered for me here mipmap drawables for icons

In the manifest it has

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
...

but @drawable has been superseded by @mipmap so needed changing to:

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
...

I put this answer here, as it may become a more common issue.

I've spent on this problem much time and as for me (for Intellij IDEA) the solution is to specify right path to res directory:

  • right click on project
  • click Modules in the left panel
  • select Android below your project name
  • in Structure tab set right path.

And don't forget to check all the paths in this tab!

I hope it will be helpful for somebody!

Yet another Googlemare Landmine.... Somehow, if you mess up, the icon line on your .gen file dies. (Empirical proof of mine after struggling 2 hours)

Insert a new icon 72x72 icon on the hdpi folder with a different name from the original, and update the name on the manifest also.

The icon somehow resurrects on the Gen file and voila!! time to move on.

Remove this line from your manifest:

<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/icon">

You have two application tags only one should be present.
