I understand the various dpi resources and flexible layouts to support different resolution and sized screens, but I don’t understand how to handle different screens using bitmap drawing directly within a view’s onDraw() method.
I have an app that draws moving bitmaps to be touched. It has been developed thus far on a 480×320 screen and the test graphics have been created at this resolution. To support alternative screens such as an emulated WVGA, I have successfully placed higher resolution images in the hdpi folder and it works.
However, when I create a larger screen like a 10″ tablet, the graphics are drawn to a small phone-sized region.
What’s the correct way to provide higher resolution source images for a larger screen as opopsed to a higher density resolution? Do I have to manually load and scale the bitmaps?
The reason you get small images on a 10″ device is that it most likely is an mdpi device. In addition it is probably a “xlarge” device.
Therefore, try putting the graphics for such devices in a folder called
