Android splash screen for high resolution devices

Question

I need to design a splash screen for my app, but Iam facing issues for high end devices like Nexus 6p.

Ihave samsung s5 with 1080X1920px size which is xxhdpi and nexus 6p with1440 x 2392px size which is also a xxhdpi

when ever i place my splashscreen.png(with 1080X1920 size ) in drawable-xxhdpi 6p is giving slight distortion as the resolution is more in it, it works fine in samsung s5.

since both are xxhdpi screen what is the correct image size i need to place.

Answer 1

Depending on the composition of your splash screen, you may be able to use a 9patch image, which is basically an image with resizable sections configured in such a way that Android can understand them.

There is an overview of what they are at https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch , and information on how to create one at https://developer.android.com/studio/write/draw9patch.html

Answer 2

If you display the image with scale type CENTER_CROP there should be no distortion. See the documentation for details.
