Sure, if you are actually generating different bitmaps for different densities, then you must be doing this because you want/need to carefully control their graphics. However my original point stands: if what you are doing is drawing your icons at one high resolution and then scaling those down

Also another point is the image to be scaled I itself. Some images may lost important details when scaled down while others won't do it. Photographs should scale down very will in most cases, but images generated by 2D design sometimes won't. For example, if you draw an straight line too thin

The platform can scale to whatever density it needs, there is nothing special about ldpi. If you are going to be providing the different densities simply by scaling the bitmap yourself, this is kind of pointless, because that is all the platform does when it needs to have the image in a different

With the exception of LDPI... As long as you provide the others, Android can efficiently convert to LDPI in most cases. At least, that is what the Dev Guide says... Thanks, Justin Anderson MagouyaWare Developer http://sites.google.com/site/magouyaware On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 4:23 PM, RichardC
