change app icon?

is it possible to change an app icon without having to re download the source code? I tried replacing the icon.png in eclipse but when i install it on phone it still shows old icon. thanks

Try deleting the old app and installing the new one.

Agree with @Thomas Boyd! Delete default icon and rename your icon with same name as default icon...clean/refresh then there you go! LA

Mr stuck, This App not published correct? Copy the config and see if that works. LA

I'm great @Mr stuck! How are you? I miss your posts here! @Thomas Boyd: With the new core coming out no. I updated one App in google play and doing the next one now and updating Voice Notes plugin. No worries though, I'm on it! LA

@LA I am just too busy with work to be making many apps at the moment so been a bit quiet, realy need to find more time to make apps but its not easy. @Thomas Boyd, sorry I could not make it for a meet up when you were up this way, it would have been great to have got a cofee but time just did not allow it as was quite busy at the times you were free, perhaps sometime soon though
