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

android, eclipse

Solution

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but @drawable has been superseded by @mipmap so needed changing to: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

Problem

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> ```
