Term or suffix used in Android that stands for high density displays. -hdpi can be added to layout, drawable, etc. folders in order to maintain artifacts that have especially been designed for this density.

Beside hdpi, one might use ldpi, mdpi or xhdpi, too. The Android system automatically chooses the appropriate resource files.

See official documentation for more.

Wrong layout is used on AVD of WVGA854 and 160dpi
