Error with shortcuts static to show in the launcher

Question

I was following the official documentation for making shortcuts to show in the launcher. When I start testing I get this error. How can I fix it? what am I doing wrong?

Error:(6, 23) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/compose_icon').
Error:(8, 36) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'shortcutLongLabel' with value '@string/compose_shortcut_long_label1').

my code is this

<shortcuts xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<shortcut
    android:shortcutId="compose"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/compose_icon"
    android:shortcutShortLabel="@string/compose_shortcut_short_label1"
    android:shortcutLongLabel="@string/compose_shortcut_long_label1"
    android:shortcutDisabledMessage="@string/compose_disabled_message1">
    <intent
        android:action="android.intent.action.VIEW"
        android:targetPackage="com.example.myapplication"
        android:targetClass="com.example.myapplication.ComposeActivity" />
    <!-- If your shortcut is associated with multiple intents, include them
         here. The last intent in the list determines what the user sees when
         they launch this shortcut. -->
    <categories android:name="android.shortcut.conversation" />
</shortcut>
<!-- Specify more shortcuts here. -->

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
defaultConfig {

    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 25

You will need to provide a valid icon and string resource. Seems like you are trying out the sample in the documentation directly. The compiler will not point out errors in this file, so you need to be careful with the resources you mention.

Specifically, define compose_shortcut_short_label1, compose_shortcut_long_label1 and compose_disabled_message1 in your strings with proper names and also a valid drawable resource for compose_icon.

Also change the android:targetPackage and android:targetClass attributes accordingly.
