Of course. That's the point. On a high density device, you use a high-pixel-count image to result in something that renders the right size but has more detail. On a low density device, you use a low-pixel-count image to result in something that renders the right size (i.e., not blown up huge). > So, can I use just drawable-small, large, xlarge and DROP all my hdpi, > mdpi and ldpi folders Not really. > (which confuse me). Since screen density is going to be fairly important in all GUI programming going forward, perhaps you should consider learning more about screen density, rather than thinking you can ignore the problem. For example, I am typing this on a notebook with a 15.6" notebook with a 1080p (1920x108) display. This is a significantly higher screen density than typical notebooks. As a result, icons, text, etc. tend to come out smaller, since few programmers or Web designers think about screen density. And, sometimes Web designers even actively prevent solutions (e.g., can't increase font size using a browser because they're doing something screwy that just doesn't respond). > If I can get away with this, life would be so much easier.
