Yes Dianne, that's obvious to you and me. I didn't mean to insinuate that there is something wrong. Just wanted to clarify for people who might not know what a mipmap is. Are mipmaps used for enlarging any other parts of the UI or is it only for launcher icons? On 4 Juli, 05:42, Dianne Hackborn

It uses a facility that is under development in the platform to do mipmap style drawables. It isn't in any way running at hdpi; it is loading application icons to have a larger size. On Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 1:03 AM, Federico Carnales fedecarna...@gmail.comwrote: On May 23, 7:49 pm, Dianne

Just tested this on my Motorola XOOM with Android 3.0.1 and it is using the icon.png from res/drawable-hdpi even though the device is mdpi. On 3 Juli, 10:05, Federico Carnales fedecarna...@gmail.com wrote: On May 23, 7:49 pm, Dianne Hackborn hack...@android.com wrote: Don't force the Xoom to

Yes as I said this is some initial work on doing mipmaps, and oh hey look at that if you are doing a mipmap there is a larger bitmap there that can be used if you want a larger size image. On Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 2:16 PM, nadam a...@anyro.se wrote: Just tested this on my Motorola XOOM with

Strange, I thought I wrote a reply here some days ago. One more try... Thanks Dianne, it's good to know that drawable-nodpi is an option for this. I promise to think twice before using it. I think it's all a matter of taste. Some people actually prefer larger images on larger devices. A good

I want to do this because it's what my client tells me to do. Not my decision. They have designed the app for phone size only and want it to scale up for larger devices (or not run on larger devices at all). The app contains many specially designed images, some that should cover the whole screen

I would just use a set of drawables with the largest DPI your minimum SDK version allows and let the system scale it for you. So typically, just have HDPI drawables if your minSdkVersion 8, and XHDPI drawables if your minSdkVersion = 8. You may get a slight performance improvement if you
