XHDPI Density and Resolution for Android

Question

I am a little confused, and I hope that you can help me. I am developing a smartphone application and I use prefixes, for example: mdpi , hdpi and xhpi . From the first two I have no problems.

In accordance with this:

• http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
• and this is http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

xhdpi - screen size of 640x960 pixels, and I prepared my graphics for this resolution. But I can not find a device with this resolution. Instead, in the layout editor for Android, I have, for example, Galaxy Nexus, which is marked as xhdpi , but has a screen size of 720p.

So my question is: should I look at these tables from the documentation and consider that 25% of devices have a screen size of 640x960 px or should I change my graphics to a screen size of 720p?

Answer 1

If you are developing only for phones and tablets, there is no need for you, you cannot use the xhdpi folder for your resources. If you want your application to work perfectly on modern devices such as Galaxy Nexus, Nuxus 4, etc., you must support xhdpi screens.

 large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp (hdpi) xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp (xhdpi)
