Answer 1

Newer versions of Android support vector graphics, which is preferred over PNG icons. Android Studio 2.1.2 (and probably earlier versions) comes with Vector Asset Studio, which will automatically create PNG files for vector graphics that you add.

The Vector Asset Studio supports importing vector icons from the SDK, as well as your own SVG files.

This article describes Vector Asset Studio: https://developer.android.com/studio/write/vector-asset-studio.html

Summary for how to add a vector graphic with PNG files (partially copied from that URL):

1. In the Project window, select the Android view.
2. Right-click the res folder and select New > Vector Asset.
3. The Material Icon radio button should be selected; then click Choose
4. Select your icon, tweak any settings you need to tweak, and Finish.
5. Depending on your settings (see article), PNGs are generated during build at the app/build/generated/res/pngs/debug/ folder.
