Thanks String. I'm familiar with most of that, it's just different bitmaps and resource folders that are new to me.
I've setup a new project, with minSdk="3" targetSdk="8", and have seen that there are now three different folders in the res directory. I've put the same images in all folders, for the time being. On my 2.2 device, the app ran fine (even with images in the mdpi folder only). But in my 1.5 device, I get an error: ResourceNotFoundException How do I call a resource from the drawable folder that will get found on my 1.5 device?
