Use the reference values for an app icon, 48px on mdpi :

1. select your app res folder
2. Pick drawable or mipmap as your export folder prefix
3. type `icon` as the image base name
4. select image DP width of `48`
5. select densities to export
6. select image format `png`

Icon or Image resources for all densities will be scaled and written
accordingly, except that by default upscaled images won't be upscaled. You
can force creating upscaled images by using the appropiate option.
