So far, I’ve always used the next application icons sizes :

  • ldpi 36×36
  • mdpi 48×48
  • hdpi 72×72
  • xhdpi 96×96
  • xxhdpi 144×144

However, for Amazon Kindle Fire, the situation is different, since it shows the icons on a “carousel”, which enlarges them a lot. This means a very blurry icon since it uses the mdpi icon.

I’ve checked on the internet, and I saw that for the Kindle Fire, I need to put a 200×200 icon on the drawable-mdpi folder. However, this can result in weird things on some other mdpi devices, like the optimus one. For example, if I use the icon in a notification (either the temporary one or the one that sticks in the notification bar), it is enlarged/cropped.

What should I do? I don’t like the idea of making a version for the android market and a different one for the Amazon market, or somehow set the 200×200 icon to specifically work only for Kindle Fire.
the reason is that new Android devices are always created, and I cannot afford to buy them all just to check that it looks fine on them too.

Is there maybe a way to use a single, very high quality app icon?
