Hello all, I am continue to build my knowledge around Android design and could use some clarification.
I am trying to understand how you can get two different sized devices which have the same dpi use two different image assets. I have built an application which has a significant number of res folders which use one or more resource qualifiers. For example, I have the following. drawable-sw320dp-mdpi drawable-sw320dp-xxhdpi drawable-sw800dp-mdpi layout-sw720dp-mdpi layout-sw720dp-xxxhdpi layout-sw800dp-mdpi I've had to do this in order to keep images in my application proportional from one screen size / density to the next. Here is where things are getting a bit rough. Take a phone that is listed at 768x1280, mdpi, 160dp. If I am understanding things correctly, this means the following. It is an mdpi device so 1px = 1dp The size of the device in dp is 768x1280 This device will use my layout in the layout-sw800dp-mdpi folder It should use the image asset that is in my drawable-sw800dp-mdpi folder Am I correct up to this point? Now, let's say I have a tablet, that is 2048 x 1536 (Galaxy Tab S2) and is mdpi. Does this mean that it will use the same layout and drawable resources as the previously mentioned phone? Does this also mean that the resource in my drawable folder should be as follows? dpi = 48 size (what fits my needs) Given this information is correct, I would expect that the single image of sizeX and dpi of 48 would look proportional on both devices, which unfortunately I am not always finding to be correct. If someone could tell me if I'm in the ball park or WAY off base on my understanding up to this point, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
