Answer 1

Just in case anyone else visits this post I thought I'd describe what I did.

1. Right click on res folder > New image asset

2. browser to the icon. Click next

3. By default the icon goes to src/debug/res- keep this

4. In the project hierarchy, browse to src/debug/res and copy the files from the drawable* directories to the same directories in src/main and src/main

5. copy the src/debug/res/icon_name.png to the src/main and src/release directories
