Question

I am looking at these Android instructions: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html#size

and I made the 4 image sizes, but how do I specify them in the Android Manifest file? And where do I place the images within the code base?

So far I have this

  <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
                android:theme="@style/CustomTheme" >

But not sure how to specify the specific sizes of the launches icons and when they need to show up.

Thanks!

You don’t need to write anything on manifest file.
You need to put images on related drawable folders like:

res\drawable-hdpi\ic_launcher.png 
res\drawable-mdpi\ic_launcher.png  
res\drawable-ldpi\ic_launcher.png 
res\drawable-xhdpi\ic_launcher.png
