Android-支持不同的屏幕

Question

I'm programming for a little game in android, but i'm stuck at understanding how the scaling of drawables work or should be done.

I'm drawing a Tilemap in a View on a Canvas with Canvas.drawBitmap()

Main problem is that i don't know how i should manage bitmaps to occupy the same space independent of screen resolution.

My Tile is 64x64 png file and it's placed in drawables folder. Then if i want it to occupy the same space in a xxhdpi screen what should i do?

Should i place in drawables-xxhdpi folder the same tile but as a 192x192 file? Or should i convert px to dps for the drawBitmap() method? Or is there something else?

I'm getting really confused trying out things, and i see myself not getting anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You're right. You should keep a bitmap file with different resolutions in different drawables folder. That allows the application to fetch the required files automatically on the basis of the size of device the user uses.
