Ok there's a cure for that and you can actually put special versions of your images in a different folder on your project to be able to call the correct version of the image at runtime. You'll find them with the ldpi, mdpi, hdpi, .... and small, medium, large, ... qualifiers in the name of the folder in the images folder in your downloaded android project. Here's a comprehensive list I found for customizing resources in your project for specific android devices. Be warned: Only use as a reference when you really want to be sure your app works on the clients' device so he/she is not freaked out when you show the app before release. You won't be able to satisfy the whole android market that easily. http://checkscreensize.appspot.com/listdevice.jsp Title Comments Ever had the moment when you're trying to get the approval of your client or boss on the new app you've made for them and they get really disappointed by the graphics not looking good on their own device?!

I created a PDF from it and added it to the How To's for reference. You'll see your name under it in the How To's. You'll also see some points in your profile :-) Great find. Comments Awesome!!!

I have thought about creating a few How Tos and guides, but have been too picky about it. I'll definitely get it going now! I'm glad it was of use to all. Comments WOW @David, Guys...
