Second, go into Android Studio and right-click paste directly on the drawable_xhdpi file. You will next need to rename it if you're using the social share icon whose file name begins with a number. I hope this helps Ricky!

19,876 PointsIs your issue with the icon confined solely to the xhdpi version Ricky or did you have issues with hdpi and mdpi as well? Does your code for the Log Exception method look anything like the following:
private void logException(Exception e) { Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught!", e); }

I consider dragging as luxury and risky option : ). I often drop it somewhere wrong. So I stick to good ole cut/paste.
