For some reason, the drawables in my app are blurry. This is especially apparent in menus when I put built-in system icons side-by-side with icons from my project’s res folder.

blurry project icon next to crisp system icon

Here’s an example. The left envelope icon is in my app’s drawable-hdpi folder. It is scaled down, for some reason. The right one is using the built-in Android resources. As far as I can tell, they are the same 72x72px file–I copied the png straight from the drawable-hdpi folder in SDK to my project’s drawable-hdpi folder.

Is there some special setting for drawables in my app that I’m missing?

    Try adding the appropriate supports-screens element to your Android manifest, and make sure you have a min-sdk of at least 4. Also make sure your uses-sdk element is nested under the manifest and not under the application (if it’s in the wrong place or missing, your app will still work but can cause issues with compatibility-related code like resource scaling, and will prevent uploading to the market with an obscure error… it can be a tough one to track down).
