what's the MipMap?

When placing the icon in the Mipmap folder instead of the Drawable folder, it will enable the Android system to choose the appropriate icon scale for the screen size, and it will automatically crop the image according to whether the Android system on the device works with circular or square icons, and also increases the clarity of the icon.

Detailed explanation:

In the context of Android, the term "Mipmap launcher icon" refers to the icon used to represent an app on the device's home screen, app drawer, and other system areas. The "mipmap" folder is a specific resource folder in an Android project where different versions of the app's launcher icon are stored.

The mipmap folder contains subfolders named after different screen densities, such as mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, and xxxhdpi. Each subfolder contains a version of the launcher icon that is optimized for the specific screen density. When an app is installed on a device, the operating system selects the appropriate version of the launcher icon from the mipmap folder based on the device's screen density.

By utilizing the mipmap launcher icon, Android ensures that the app's icon appears consistent and visually appealing across different devices. It helps maintain the quality and clarity of the icon by providing correctly scaled versions for various screen densities, resulting in a better user experience.
