I've overridden all hdpi images, and they were successfully undated, but the app icon was not changed to the smiley face but remained as the default android icon. Any help please?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 912 PointsMy app icon in the emulator was not updating. I cleaned the project i.e. Build>Clean Project and then rebuilt it and restarted the emulator. It then worked for me.

<application android:icon="@drawable/smiley_face_icon_or_whatever" android:label="@string/app_name" >
...replacing smiley_face_icon_or_whatever with the actual file name. :)

Also a copy of your AndroidManifest.xml file here would be useful.
