Yes, now I'm through reading the concerning thread<http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/97d910033eca7a93/599bf718bd2ec7bf> I tried it and it worked. Thanks for the response Dianne. That will resolve the problem for Droid, since that's going to be HDPI I imagine.
Now what happens to a potential case of a WVGA display that is big enough to be MDPI? Would I have to create two additional folders "drawable-large-mdpi" and "drawable-normal-hdpi" (then each with -v4 and -v6 gives already 4 folders of hires material, which is going to be a problem size-wise). Then one last question. Is the placeholder solution where only one folder contains the real bitmaps and the other .xml files pointing to it going to be a problem performance-wise?
