I can’t set a vector image as an app icon

Question

As you can see I’ve correctly added a svg. so that it acts in a vector way:

The problem happens when I try to put it as app icon:

I go to Androidmanifest.xml and normally modify the line android:icon="@drawable/ic_tree" just like I do with a drawable normal:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="genesysgeneration.svg">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_tree"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

I thought I’d have to do something different after I saw it didn’t work out, but the app doesn’t give me any other choices:

I tried to put the image inside the mipmap folder as indicated, but it was wrong:

Answer 1

Try so save the file in the drawable folder then click with the right mouse and create an Asset Vector:

Another way!

Well... to make it easier there is this site "Inside the link . txt" that converts any image into Andoid Studio icon.

I’ll explain how I did it:

1. I downloaded your file (.svg) as png.
2. I went to the site I passed and skipped the image.
3. I defined the null fund (transparent).
4. I saved... in which I generated a ZIP (with a res folder)
5. Then replace in the project in the mipmap folders: (see attachment to project image)
6. Generating this result: (see the emulator print attachment)

Any questions you may ask!!!
