This is the typical area of supporting multiple screen sizes for android. Basically, in my cards game it was really too much to provide the setof 52 cards duplicated for the 3 folders (ld, md, hd). The reasion is the increased app size by quite a bit.
So I was wondering, if I only provide high density folder then would the device scale down the images to appropriate densities. I mean if all what I was doing before was resizing the images down then the scaling down by the device would be same. right?
If I do that (porviding only high density folder), will the image end up taking the same physical size on low density screen (I am using high density as it is generally to scal down than up).
Thank you
PS: Please don’t give me the android website. I want your answer/experience
The answer is, it will scale them down for you, but the resulting images will be lower in quality than those provided at the correct density, depending on how it is downscaled and by what percentage. It may or may not be that noticeable depending on the type of graphics, but fine lines and single-pixel details will be most noticeably different.
