Cannot replace default icon in android studio

The image I am trying to replace the default icon with is 512x512px .png. To change the icon I go app/res [new; image asset;...]. It won't let me replace or create new icon set in the @drawable. My most recent thought are that I might not have unlocked some priveges but I am able edit contents of drawable by directly accessing it's location

Any ideas?

step 1. copy the icon image from mipmap to drawable folders and build your project.

step 2. Change the following code in AndroidManifest.xml

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"

Place your icon in the drawable folder and then simply open your AndroidManifest.xml file and then set the icon you want like this ...

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    .... >

The new version of android studio put default launcher icon(ic_launcher.png) in mipmap-xxx directories, so just copy and paste your new icon to these directores, and reference it as '@mipmap/you_icon', or in code 'R.mipmap.you_icon'. If you still want to use the keyword 'drawable', then create the drawable folders(drawable-xxx), and put your icon there, and reference it as '@drawable/you_icon', or in code 'R.drawable.you_icon'

As what you wrote

app/res [new; image asset;...]

You mean this one on the image right? What specific error does it shows? just make sure that your icon name is the same in the manifest android:icon="@mipmap/youricon"
