Question

I am developing app for Mobiles(HTC) and Motorola Xoom. But the problem i am facing is that both Uses Drawable-mpdi bitmaps.
abd there is difference in screen size of both, The Image which is perfect on Mobile is became very small on Tablet.

I have checked the list for Drawable folders used by devices.
Please Help me how to sort out this Problem ?
How can I make different size images for both of devices.

Thanks

Answer 1

I can think of a couple of ways to do this. Hopefully, other people will add more.

You could use the MDPI folder with a single image of high enough resolution for the tablet then let Android scale it for smaller devices using the scale properties of an ImageView. However, you are focusing only on HTC and Xoom and that doesn’t solve your problem for devices which use other generic resolutions.

Or, you could use the drawable-nodpi folder and have several images with your own resolution naming scheme e.g. myimagesmall.bmp, myimagemedium.bmp etc. Then at runtime, measure the device screen size and DPI and load the appropriate image.

Or, combine them. Use nodpi and a single image and let Android scale for you. Using BitmapFactory, you can control dithering and anti-aliasing to get good results.

Good luck!
