Question

I followed the guidelines presented in the Android docs (http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html) and created image buttons at 36x36pixels, 48x48pixels and 72x72pixels then upped these in the ldpi, mdpi,hdpi folders… but when i change the screen resolutions in the xml-layout-creation place in Eclipse… the image button sizes keep changing 🙁

Is there some other setting I am supposed to change?

My XML is very simple, for example:

<ImageButton android:src="@drawable/level1" 
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/imageButton1" 
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
                android:onClick="button_clicked1">

Please advise!

EDIT:
Ok, added the default icon that Android creates in each directry and that too is not scaling so well like the rest of the buttons.

Answer 1

Changing resolution is not a guarantee that density changes, since density is also a function of the screen size. The safest way would be to create AVDs with the required resolutions AND densities.
