I have an HTML5/Javascript app, and I have used PhoneGap’s build service to generate the APK file for my Android.

I successfully installed the APK file on my Android and everything is fine, except that the app icon on the phone is the default Android icon. In PhoneGap Build I uploaded my PNG file to the project under the ‘Details’ section, and I thought that icon was supposed to be used as your app icon? I’ve tried several different sizes.

Let me know if there is something else I need to be doing.

    In the Phone Gap the following should contain

    www_android\res\values\strings.xml – contains the name of the app
    www_android\res\drawable-hdpi – contains a 57×57 pixel icon
    www_android\res\drawable-hdpi – contains a 57×57 pixel icon
    www_android\res\drawable-hdpi – contains a 57×57 pixel icon
