What simulator resolution i should keep when developing application for Samsung galaxy s2 and galaxy s3 ?
What i found that samsung galaxy s2 has 480×800 resolution and s3 has 1280×720 resolution so what i have understood up till now that I should ask my graphics designer to provide me hdpi graphics that contain 480×800 background images and to implement same background image in galaxy s3 mobile, I will use image of size 1280×720 and put in xhdpi folder so that it can work on s3.
The background image is something which covers whole available area for mobile app. so am i right ??
