I’ve only placed mdpi and hdpi images inside each folder, but when I run my app on an ldpi device, it won’t pick the images from the mdpi folder, but from the hdpi folder. Why is that? Any ideas on what i’m doing wrong?
P.S. If I place images specifically for the ldpi device inside the ldpi folder, it uses those, but if i delete them, it uses the hdpi ones.
Help.
That is the default behavior of Android. LDPI is basically half of HDPI and ANdroid basically picks images from HDPI, scales it to half the size and uses it.
