Since you are putting the "default" icons in one particular folder, I
would recommend changing that one from "drawable-mdpi" to simply
"drawable". The reason is that there are actually four possible
values for that qualifier ("hdpi", "mdpi", "ldpi" and none of the
above). See Issue #4616. It's similar to the reason that if you're
doing localization and your default language is English, your English
resources are not qualified ("values/strings.xml") while the resources
for your non-default languages are (ex: "values-fr/strings.xml").
Learned that the hard way (and submitted that Issue #4716) because the
Droid Explorer API Browser would force close on an Archos 5 Internet
Tablet because it never selects a folder using any of the "?dpi"
qualifiers.
