I do not know what you are referring to here. Some bitmaps (e.g., nine-patch PNGs) are designed to be resized. > Does android rescale > skinned views sizes the same way it resizes the default ones?

In some cases, you will need multiple images for different screen sizes or densities. In some cases, you can use nine-patch PNGs for resizing. In some cases, Android's built-in bitmap scaling will be adequate. In some cases, you will want to switch to creating Drawable resources in XML (e.g., define your gradients that way, rather than doing so in a bitmap). Here is the documentation on multiple screen sizes: http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html Here are several blog posts on the subject: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/16/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/18/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-2/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/02/23/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-3/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/03/01/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-4/ http://www.androidguys.com/2010/03/02/handling-multiple-screen-sizes-part-5/ -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
