Despite reading much of the Android developer docs on the subject, I'm still struggling with supporting multiple screen sizes/densities. One question I have is what size my images should be. I've read it's a good idea to start by designing images for hdpi, then copy and resize the image for ldpi, mdpi and xhdpi using the sizing ratios. So I have an image which is 400x83 which looks great on a Nexus One/S type device (480x800) and I've resized this for the other resolution folders. It looks fine on devices upto 5.4", but above that size (Nexus 7, Galaxy Tab etc) the image looks too small. My question is should I actually instead be designing my images for the largest physical screen I'm supporting?

That's fine if all my supported devices are the same screen size, but what about supporting multiple screen sizes between 2.7" and 10"? – Jonathan Wareham Feb 20 '13 at 13:04

there is noting with the screen sizes only you need to deal with the Density i.e XHDPI,HDPI,MDPI & LDPI. (TVDPI will scale automatically from HDPI) – Padma Kumar Feb 20 '13 at 13:34

// If you are a graphics designer you need to design for XHDPI first then you need to reduce
75% for HDPI
50% for MDPI
only you need to worry about the background
you need to supply different background for different sizes
1280 x 800
480 x 320
480 x 800
1280 x 720
1024 x 600
...
For that you need to put different folder like
drawable-hdpi
drawable-land-hdpi
drawable-land-ldpi
drawable-land-mdpi
drawable-land-xhdpi
drawable-ldpi
drawable-mdpi
drawable-nodpi
drawable-sw600dp-hdpi
drawable-sw600dp-mdpi
drawable-sw600dp-nodpi
drawable-sw600dp-xhdpi
drawable-sw720dp-nodpi
