I know about supporting multiple screens in Android and I use it in my app. But supporting different screen sizes and DPI makes your application size large. We all know about the 50mb file size limit in Google Play right? So, is it possible to create a folder like the following?
\layout-small-160
\layout-normal-240
If that is not possible do any one here knows how to support multiple screen sizes and its DPI’s without using too much image to make my application size smaller?
I only give my suggestion and you can try it.
By default, we have three drawable folder drawable-ldpi(120), drawable-mdpi(160), drawable-hdpi(240).
When the App need image, Android will find the image according to the screen destiny. Obviously, the image in drawable-ldpi folder is fit if the app running on phone which have a low destiny.
But if there is no image in drawable-ldpi folder. Android will find if there is image in drawable-hdpi. If it exists, android will scale the image(0.5) and show it.
So you don’t need to prepare images for every destiny. You only need to prepare the image for hdpi scrren. And for some individual images which demand accurate size, you need to prepare for the three destiny.
You could download some famous APK and extract them.Then enter the res folder to check how the author did.
Sorry for my poor English.
