How to set a nice app picture to my Android program

tomy

Hi,

For Android applications I write using QML, the APK file looks like a zip file. But apps on the market each has its own nice related picture put on them.
How could I do that for my apps to look nicer when I send them for others, please?

You mean application icon? You can set it in AndroidManifest. Qt Creator even provides a nice GUI editor for it.

Yeah, I meant that, thanks. :)
OK, but I know none of these methods. Would you please tell me which one is better ansd easier to start and also a straightforward tut or set of instructions to put an icon on it?

If you don't have an AndroidManifest in your project, then go to Projects -> Build -> Build Android APKs -> Create Templates. Then double click on AndroidManifest.xml (it will be added to your project). There you'll have 3 buttons for icons (for different resolution). Click and select an icon from your hard disk. That's it.

Done! Thanks. :)
By the way, who selected your prior message as the correct one to solve the issue?
Whoever did it, good job! :)
I myself can't choose a reply as the solving one.

No idea, I thought it was you.

Hi,

Sorry I didn't manifested myself. I did it based on the @tomy's answer to @sierdzio suggestion.
