I am developing a little application in android by following the Android UI Patterns and I am facing a little difficulty about the patterns used to build the dashboard.
My question is the following : what should be the size of the icons used to build dashboard according to differents densities.
In the android SDK documentation, it is not described.

King Regards.

    If it helps, reference the DashbordLayout class in the Google I/O schedule app at http://code.google.com/p/iosched The class itself is in src/com/google/android/apps/iosched/ui/widget/DashboardLayout.java

    An example of how it’s used is seen in:

    • res/layout/fragment_dashboard.xml for the dashboard itself and the buttons inside. Note the style attribute set
    • res/values/styles.xml for an example of the style used
    • res/values/dimens.xml for an example
    • res/values/colors.xml for the color they used (obviously you can use any)
    • res/drawable/home_btn_*.xml for examples of a selector related to the various states of the button to reference different drawable files
    • res/drawable-hdpi/home_btn_*.png for the actual png files that are used, which tend to be 144×96

    I myself had no idea so much was involved to make it look just right, but this made things so much easier once I saw how to properly make it.
